Pure Rock N' Roll!

Once in a while, a breeze of fresh, clean air finds its way to you, and you can't help but feel good. Enter: The Bloomfields. They're a band. No, not just any band, a real in-your-face kick-ass band. Bangis. Their music isn't punk. It isn't alternative. Not even contemporary pop. It's a mix of boogie and good old-fashioned rock and roll. They play songs from the 60's, 70's and anything else Ramon Jacinto would probably have in his gig lineup.



The band is composed of: JJ LOZANO (21) on lead, LOUIE POCO on bass, PEPE LOZANO on rhythym, LAKAN HILA on piano/organ/keyboards and ROCKY COLLADO (21) on drums. Guess what: they even have RICKENBACKER GUITARS!!! (FYI, these are what John Lennon and Paul McCartney used back in the heydays).


Most of The Bloomfields repertoire involve revivals/remakes that were turned into jangle-pop; it leaves you with an aftertaste. :) Songs like Girl From Ipanema, King Creole, Ale, Walk On By and even Iskul Bukul have received makeovers whilst incredibly retaining the essence of the originals. Once again, crooning is in. Galing.


Their music kinda takes me back to a time when everything was laid-back and life wasn't a pain in the ass. I remember when my dad would just pop-in a tape in the cassette deck and I would either hear Elvis, The Beatles, the Beach Boys or Dave Clark Five play, and I would automatically dance in the living room, a crazed monkey out of a cage. Good times man, good times.


Go ahead, feel good. Check it out for yourselves.
