Ebe

I heard it on the radio this evening. Already a hothead because of Manila's horrible Saturday evening traffic, I turned into a tearful mess when I found this out:

"Dear friends, im leaving Sugarfree at the end of February. Please come to my final shows with them. Im grateful for your love and support." - Ebe Dancel

Just like the Eheads were the soundtrack of my high school days, Sugarfree has been the soundtrack of my life since my college thesis days. There were days that I'd sleep and wake up to the sound of Sa Wakas (2003) on loop on my laptop. Ang mga huling araw ko sa UP ay dumaan sa piling ng mga kantang Telepono, Mariposa, at Burnout.

Nung lumabas ang Dramachine (2004), halos kakasimula pa lang akong mag-gig nun, and I just landed my second (and current) job. The album made such an impression on me that I took to Friendster (yes, Friendster) and boldly messaged Jal and Ebe to let them know how much I appreciated the new songs. Di ko pa sila kilala nun - I was being the shameless fangirl. And the guys, being the nice people that they are, responded with appreciation, too.

Even after being blown away by their first two albums, Tala-arawan (2006) still came as a very pleasant surprise for me. Clearly, the guys were still at the top of their game. The album was so awesome for me, I was inspired to write a track by track review of it - something I don't think I ever did again for any other album.

Sugarfree's two 'orchestrated' major concerts are surrounded by some happy moments in my life. Sugarfree Live! (September 29, 2007) served as an anniversary/birthday date for Andrew and me; we had just celebrated 9 years of being together the day before, and I just celebrated my 27th birthday some two weeks prior. Dekada (August 28, 2009) was the same - an awesome anniversary/birthday date again for us (this time, it was Andrew who had just celebrated his birthday some two weeks before).

If Ebe's first album with Sugarfree served as my thesis soundtrack, his last album with them, Mornings and Airports (2009) served as my wedding planning soundtrack. I even considered using "Feels Like" during our reception entrance or AVP, but ended up using "Prom" (the live one with MSO) instead.

When NU signed off for the very last time last November, I braced myself for the next musical heartache I'd have to go through, and I worried that if it were Sugarfree that was next to go, it would hurt like hell all over again.

Knowing that the voice and heart behind most of their songs is leaving the band was heartbreaking. It makes it just a little less sad to know that the guys will still go on - Ebe as Ebe, and Sugarfree (Jal, Kaka, and ?) as Sugarfree. Mamimiss ko lang marining ang boses ni Ebe kasama ang bass ni Jal at drums ni Kaka/Mitch; mamimiss ko lang makita silang tatlo on the same stage sa gigs. Mitch left the band years back, and now Ebe is also moving on. Whatever it is Jal has in mind about the band, I wish him and Kaka the best.

And so, their music will live on. And yeah, these guys are sticking around. We'll just have to get used to not seeing them together anymore.

Sa Sugarfree, salamat sa patuloy niyong pagbigay ng kulay sa buhay sa mga nagmamahal sa inyo. Whatever else it is in store for the band, I'm sure to still be there to support you.

Kay Ebe, alam mo siguro kung gaano ko kamahal ang iyong musika. Alam kong hindi ka titigil sa paglikha ng mga kwento at kanta. At alam kong hindi rin ako titigil sa paghanga sa iyong talento. Ganun din sa iyo, whatever else is in store for you, I'll always be a supportive friend and fan :)

Songs for Andrew: "Mornings and Airports" by Sugarfree

It's been said that once you promise to spend forever with someone, you can't seem to wait for forever to start.

Andrew and I only see each other on weekends. He teaches in Xavier School (HS Department) in San Juan and lives in Kamuning, QC, while I teach in Philippine Science High School in QC and live in Las Pinas/Paranaque (medyo nasa border kami hehe). So during the school week, there really aren't much chances to meet up.

Which makes me look forward very much to weekends because that's when we get to spend time with each other.

This song was written by Ebe Dancel of Sugarfree (who recently also just got hitched :) ), no doubt to describe how his work as a performing and touring musician takes him away from his lady. But even though Ebe and I are in different lines of work, I can't help but feel what he's singing about in this song.

Mornings and Airports
from the album Mornings and Airports (2009)

Oh honey, I know you're still asleep
It's 7:30, you won't even hear your phone ring
Mornings and airports drive me crazy
And hungry, sleepy, oh so lonely to wake up to

By the time you get up, I'm far away
As the plane warms up

I wish that I could stay
Because I belong with you
Oh a day away is just too far
And this shirt I have on is too big for me
But your arms they fit me perfectly

The TV's on but no one's really watching
This hotel room is the last place I wanna be in
I wanna sleep and wake up next to you
And drown in how you make me feel like love is something new

Home is where you are
It's just too far away right now

I wanna stay
Because I belong with you
Oh a day away is just too far
And this shirt I have on is too big for me
But your arms they fit me perfectly

Take me home because I belong with you
Oh a day away is just too far
And this shirt I have on is too big for me
But your arms they fit me perfectly

Take me home
Take me home
Take me home

(Sorry for any error in the lyrics; kinapa ko lang kasi)

My pride and joy - Sugarfree Opening Video in Dekada Concert

Thank you to josephpchan for posting this :)

This is my pride and joy!

A couple of days before Sugarfree had its Dekada concert at the Music Museum to celebrate their tenth anniversary, their manager Karin posted on the Yahoo!Group that she needed pics of the band through the years.

I really got excited because I had a wealth of Sugarfree pics to share! So share I did. And it was so cool that a lot of them made it to the AVP they played at the start of the show :)

What made me happy, in particular, was that they included the shot of Sugarfree onstage at the Pisay gym. If you were Pisay, you'd recognize the DNA-like design on the flaps that lead to the backstage portion. I really wanted that shot to be picked because having Sugarfree play at Pisay is one of the highlights of my stint as SAMAPI adviser :)

At dahil OC ako at proud, here's the list of pics of mine that you'd see in the presentation below (with some kwento added):

1:03 - Accepting their Best New Artist award at the 2003 NU107 Rock Awards; I was so proud of them!

1:07 - Performing at the 2003 NU107 Rock Awards; at one point in the performance, Ebe took out his digicam and photographed the audience so he could show his mom daw :)

1:11 - PISAY! :)

1:14 - Performing at the very first Admit One gig in the south, at the awesome but now defunct Rock Radio Cafe (I ♥ you, RRC!). This was a life-changing night for me - dito ko sinimulang mahalin ulit ang tugtugang lokal. This was also the first gig covered by my first digicam, a humble Canon Powershot A70.

1:33 to 1:40 - Performing at an acoustic Admit One gig at Conspiracy. This one was a celebration of Ebe's mom's birthday. Ebe started to describe their lineup as 1/2 Sugarfreee, 1/2...and then he trails off...then someone from the audience finishes it up with "Eraserheads!" :P Because, indeed, onstage were Ebe, Jal, Buddy, and Raimund. Ebe didn't really plan to finish the sentence, I guess, because this was still the time when the Heads hadn't settled their differences yet ;)

2:05 to 2:15 - Signing autographs after a performance at SM North. This was the debut of my 2nd digicam, another Canon Powershot (A95 I think...haha nakalimutan ko na).

2:19 to 2:33 - Performing at the Alabang Town Center. Shot 2:22 is my favorite Jal pic.

2:35 to 2:49 - Another Admit One gig, this time at saGuijo, when the band setup was still in its original spot close to the bar. This was one helluva party; I can still remember it clearly as if it happened last night. I love that they included my shot of Mitch (2:43), as well as a shot of Ebe with Wolfmann in the background (2:39) :)

3:11 to 3:18 - In-store performance and autograph signing at the now non-existent Tower Records in Alabang Town Center. I think this was my first time to watch Kaka.

After sending all those pics to Karin, I realized that I hadn't photographed Sugarfree since 2006, though I did get to watch maybe 2 or 3 gigs since then.

Nagkabunga din ang pagiging rocker stalker ko, hehehe. Naging bahagi ako ng isang napakagandang gig ng isa sa pinakamamahal kong banda sa mundo ngayon :) (Nevermind that it was just a small part, but it was still there, for everyone to see!)

SUGARFREE ON MYX MAGAZINE'S AUGUST-SEPTEMBER 2009 COVER

Grab a copy now!

DEKADA: Sugarfree + MSO

THE DATE
August 28, 2009. Couldn't have been any better date, as it was just two weeks after Andrew's birthday (so the watching the gig was my gift to him), and it was also our 129th month as a couple :) And, of course, it was Sugarfree's 10th year together! It was a celebration of great relationships and awesome music :P

THE PLACE
Music Museum, my personal favorite gig venue. It isn't too big nor too small, so anywhere you sit will still give you a great view of the performers. The sounds and lights are always top quality. And you can dine and drink while enjoying the best performances in the land :)

THE BAND
Sugarfree. Definitely one of my most favorite local bands, and one of the bands I hold close to my heart. I remember falling in love with Telepono once it hit the airwaves of NU107 in the early 2000s. I was in college then, and once Sa Wakas came out, it instantly became the soundtrack of my thesis days. I love Ebe, Jal, Mitch, and Kaka to pieces. Pati na rin si Bodjie :)

But this isn't just any Sugarfree gig. It's Sugarfree with the Manila Symphony Orchestra! And Sugarfree+MSO is a winning formula, no doubt about it. In 2007, they proved how already wonderful Sugarfree tunes could be turned into even more heartwrenching songs. Chino David is a genius, and the MSO is a cool and talented bunch of folks.


THE SHOW

The setlist (c/o Orange Oasis from the Sugarfree Yahoo!Group):
Reunion
Hay Buhay
Telepono
Unang Araw
Taguan
Feels Like
Kwarto
Wala Nang Hihilingin
Insomya
Mariposa
Fade Away
Medley: Makita Kang Muli, Dear Kuya, Hari ng Sablay
Tulog Na
Kwentuhan
Burnout
Wag Ka Nang Umiyak
Hangover
Prom

My favorite moments:

A History of Sugarfree. The show began with a slideshow of pictures from 1999 to the present. Most of the pictures from 2002 to 2006 were my pics ;) When I emailed those pics to Karin, their manager, it was only then that I realized that I've only watched two or three Sugarfree gigs in the past 3 years - the MSO gig in 2007, and their Pisay fair performances.

The old songs, especially Wag Ka Na Umiyak. That song has this uncanny ability to make you do what it doesn't want you to do. Hearing the MSO version of Sa Wakas songs was pretty sweet, too. It was cool how they made them sound different from when they performed some of the same songs two years ago.

The new songs, especially Feels Like and Hangover. It was exactly those songs that I wished to hear that night, played with the MSO.

Ebe moments. Starting out the gig amongst the audience, then slowly making his way to the stage. Asking the lights people to shine some on the audience and taking a few seconds to "soak in the moment". Acknowledging and thanking his wife for being his best friend and his anchor.


Jal moments. Taguan! I love Jal's songs. I was hoping to hear Patawad or Form Factor.


Mitch moments. Seeing Mitch play again with Jal and Ebe was just wonderful. Like Ebe said, it was just like 2003 again :) It was also such an Awww moment when Ebe revealed the reason behind Mitch's separation from the band - he simply wanted to be there when his son grew up :)

Kaka moments. The guy is awesome behind the drums as well as with a guitar in his hands. We already saw his guitar prowess two years ago when they went acoustic on Tulog Na. But his solos on Fade Away this year were a different kind of awesome, too.


Bodjie moment. Yep, even if Bodjie didn't play guitar this year, he still had his moment when Ebe made him sing part of Prom from his seat.


Kwentuhan. Aside from the performances, the tidbits we get to know about the band (from their spiels between songs, and from the AVP) endeared the band even more to the audience.

Ebe says this will be their last major show in a long while, that they'll be sticking to touring and bar gigs in the meantime. I'm glad I got to witness this amazing show, and that, after 10 years, Sugarfree is still around to make our hearts chuckle and our souls sigh with their beautiful songs about life and love :)

- - - - -

Sorry if I couldn't mention the name of Sugarfree's guitarist for the night; I'm not familiar with his name.

My photos of the event can be viewed here.

You can also check out this post that links the other photos and videos from Dekada. Lotsa great photographs there!

DINIG SANA KITA & Sugarfree by Mike Sandejas

From the Sugarfree Yahoo!Group:

Hello everyone,

Im a lister too. This is a long one. Bear with me.

I first met Ebe during Rockestra 2 soon after he saw my first film Tulad ng Dati in cinemalaya. He went up to me and told me that TND was the best Filipino film he had ever seen (at that time)and told me he was a fan. I was speechless because I was HIS fan. Ebe and I became friends soon after. I took my family to see the band every so often. My wife and I were always at the Bistro 70's gigs. He was also a firm believer of my daughter 13 year old Zoe's capability as a
musician (at that time.) Zoe held on to that belief and continued to dabble in music. Ebe always gave her advice and encouragement.

Karin asked me why I chose Wag Ka Nang Umiyak.

I remember when I was in the early stages of writing the film, I texted Ebe to ask him for a song. I said I needed a sad love song. He reminded me of WKNU. I started listening to it everyday during the reconceptualization stage of the film (the story's first incarnation didnt work so well)

WKNU set the mood and emotion for me. I ended up writing a story of two people who are completely polar opposites, both looking for something to believe and finding that belief in each other. DINIG SANA KITA is like a Sugarfee song made visual.

The day that I formally asked for the song, I went to visit the band and Karin in Bistro 70's. As I watched I sent a song request note like the rest of the audience and I signed it with my name. Ebe got the note and immediately they played the song for me. That performance was magical to me because the band played it so emotionally, that scene burned itself into my mind - and that was exactly how I shot it for the film.

Id like to thank SUGARFREE again for allowing me to use the song. .

I texted Ebe and told him my film was about ironies. How a Deaf person wanted to dance, how a musician and a Deaf person fell in love, how one yearns to be heard and the one who understands her is one who cannot hear.

WKNU is an irony as well. The songs asks you not to cry anymore yet you end up weeping buckets. Love tempered by pain makes it stronger. Sugarfree knows this so well. Even the Deaf now know about Sugarfree.

I think people know about how pained I was recently to have lost my relationship with The Dawn. They are still my friends but I can no longer really listen to their music. Sugarfree provided me with music that I could hold on to during that time. Kahit sa jogging ko, Sugarfree pinapakinggan ko but I try not to listen to WKNU kasi baka magtaka mga tao bakit umiiyak ako habang nagjojogging. I am going to the music store today to buy the new CD.

To add to the Sugarfree Month. DINIG SANA KITA will be shown from Aug 26 - Sept 1 at Robinsons Galleria IndieSine theater. The main actors are Romalito Mallari, The first Filipino Deaf actor in a Main Actor role in a feature film and...

...Ebe's alaga - my daughter Zoe Sandejas playing a troubled rocker girl.

Now you all see how involved directly and indirectly Ebe and Sugarfee have been in my life and recent work.

Zoe will be playing at Route 196 on Sept 1 10pm. She asked Ebe permission to sing WKNU. Ebe agreed. Thank you again Ebe.

Mabuhay ang SUGARFREE!!!

Sincerely,

Mike Sandejas

Mike Sandejas is the director of the indie film "Tulad ng Dati", which starred The Dawn and was awarded Best Film during Cinemalaya 2006. "Dinig Sana Kita" is Sandejas' entry to Cinemalaya 2009. The film was awarded Best Original Music Score for the work of Francis Brew Reyes.

Fave Song: "Still Fighting It" by Ben Folds

Only truly appreciated this song when Sugarfree performed it during their Music Museum gig with the Manila Symphony Orchestra. Ebe dedicated it to his nephew Kaio. Sugarfree's version was so much in league with the original.

Ben Folds is a genius. By the way, that's him and his son in the video.



STILL FIGHTING IT

Good morning, son.
I am a bird
Wearing a brown polyester shirt
You want a coke?
Maybe some fries?
The roast beef combos only $9.95
It's okay, you don't have to pay
Ive got all the change

Everybody knows
It hurts to grow up
And everybody does
Its so weird to be back here
Let me tell you what
The years go on and
Were still fighting it, were still fighting it
And you're so much like me
I'm sorry

Good morning, son
In twenty years from now
Maybe well both sit down and have a few beers
And I can tell you bout today
And how I picked you up and everything changed
It was pain
Sunny days and rain
I knew you'd feel the same things

Everybody knows
It sucks to grow up
And everybody does
Its so weird to be back here.
Let me tell you what
The years go on and
Were still fighting it, were still fighting it
You'll try and try and one day you'll fly
Away from me

Good morning, son
I am a bird

It was pain
Sunny days and rain
I knew you'd feel the same things

Everybody knows
It hurts to grow up
And everybody does
Its so weird to be back here.
Let me tell you what
The years go on and
Were still fighting it, were still fighting it
Oh, were still fighting it, were still fighting it

And you're so much like me
Im sorry

Just saw this on YouTube; the event itself happened so long ago already (I've forgotten already when). Ang kulit kulit ni Ebe! Para siyang little boy na hyper na ewan. And Mitch! Mitch has got the bling bling! Hahaha! Si Jal naman serious, but charming as usual.
