At GAW-Colon, there were the ff. band that I can remember:

1. Simazo - Mostly from Ozamis, signature songs among others were Queen (e.g Bicycle Race, Bohemian Rhapsody, etc. STYX, etc.)
2. Plutonic - Signature song among others were Dire Straits (Money for Nothing, etc..), Van Halen (Eruption, etc..), Deep Purple, etc...
3. El Chicano - From Consolacion, Vocalist was "Codie", he got very nice voice tone, moved like Robert Plant of Led Zep.. Signature songs among others were Led Zeppelin (e.g. Immigrant Song, etc..), Alice Cooper (I'm Eighteen, You and Me, I never cry, etc.) and some cuts from "Jesus Christ Superstar" musicals, etc..Also, belting out the popular "Without You" by the original artist that was popularized by Mariah Carey and Celine Dion.
4. Iron Smoke - Vocalist Alex has a very powerful and high voice range..signature songs are Scorpions, AC/DC, etc.
5. and many more during than era..

Before GAW Colon and later renamed to Club99, there was also Shakey's Mango...daghna pud to nindot nga local Rock Bands... 40 the Band regularly played there. Also, katong band nga mostly mga tisoy, there vocalist was a guy named Joey Boufard (not sure of the right spelling of his surname)..I think the lead guitarist was his bother....There was also a club underneath that Cinema atbang sa Gaisano Metro sa Colon (natoy bumb cars didto). kuyaw pud mga Rock bands didto sauna....

If you have network or contacts where these guys are now...would be nice to have their contacts for some sort of reunion gigs...I know Arnold Ang of 40 The Band is doing a comeback in the local music scene..

Aaah..those were the good ole days...
