My Top 11 Best Gigs of 2011
Posted on December 31, 2011
A great gig for me doesn’t always produce a great photo. But when the moment is there, sometimes it’ll just naturally come across in the pictures. Like my last post of Top 10 Random Music Moments, this post is personal and features just some concerts that I’ve attended which were memorable to me.
Mike Elgar, Nathan Azarcon & Junji Lerma discussing their ‘battle of the bands’ days. One of those events was held in CSA where they all first encountered each other. When Nathan saw Mike Elgar play with his band he asked, “Who is this guy?” and someone answered in reverential hushed whisper, “Si Mike Elgar yan”.
He kept on repeating that line and it sounded funny, like it was dangerous to utter the name “Mike Elgar”.
Nathan joked around and said his band beat Mike’s because he was friends with the judges and no one yet knew who Mike was.
“Sino yan?” Looking at the really awesome guitar player.
“Si Mike Elgar yan!” they all whispered again and again.
Meanwhile, Vic is sleeping on the table by the corner of the room.

Nathan Azarcon of @HIJOmusic. Last night was my first time to see them live. I asked them why they named the band HIJO. Nathan said Vic thought of it, but he wanted to call it something else - NLTR - or Nathan Learns To Rock.
LOL
I showed him this photo and said I got a jump shot. He said next time he’ll bring a basketball. Nyahaha
