We three writers for the network's international newscast had a great time bonding early dawn of July 2.
It started when Rosetti dragged me and Dave to Congo Grille in Bohol Avenue to hear her former acoustic band's gig. We were not disappointed with what we saw and heard.
Rosetti's former band, dubbed UTI clearly rocked the house! Yup, you read it right, UTI. Or Under Tones Incorporated... hence UTI!
They play during Thursdays and Fridays at Congo Grille in Bohol Avenue for this month; from then on, they play Thursdays at the bar adjacent to Congo Grille (forgot the name at the moment).
When I first saw them, I immediately thought mga ADIK 'ata ang mga ito.
Maingay sila for an acoustic band. At masyadong malikot ang frontman nila na si James. He is a field producer by day in one of the rival network's news vans. That day when I met him, he just produced the live news for his network in Ayala Avenue. So I was definitely amazed that he still had energy to do his thing at 1:30am... His group specializes in dishing new arrangements to rock songs and some old songs... We caught his version of Van Halen's Jump and WOW they blew us away!
I can only imagine what the group would have been if Rosetti was still playing and singing in it - she plays the violin folks, so just imagine 3 guitars and a violin plus some percussion and viola!
Anyway folks, if you happen to be around the Bohol Avenue area on Thursday and Friday nights for this month, do please drop by and hear out UTI! You will not be disappointed!
