band performer...(suitcase 101)

mtv, myx

Suitcase101 are:
Adrian aka Boy Bulabog - vocals
Val aka El Panyero Salsalero - guitar
Noldzkie aka Boy Kalimot - guitar
Jhuboy aka Warwickboy - bass
Vinneckxzs aka Boy Boutan - drums

Formed in the mid-2005, Suitcase101 started as an acoustic band in a local resto bar in Bohol. Slowly gaining popularity with their first original composition “Kalahati” as their regular audience would bring over a friend the next time they come. There was even a time that the song was played twice on the same night as late comers would insist on requesting for the song even though it was already played earlier.

The band is composed of Adrian Bayron on vocals, Alva Duaban on guitars, Arvin Avergonzado on drums and Venjo Busalla on bass. They recorded the song “Kalahati” and two other original tracks namely “Never Need Some” and “Three Years Since” in Backyard Project Studios in Cebu City last March 2007. They burst into Bohol’s music scene as they released “Kalahati” and “Never Need Some” on local radio stations 911 FM and 102.3 Kiss FM, winning 8 Battle of the Bands, and opened for Manila-based artists such as Bamboo, Imago, Moonstar88, Hale and Urbandub to name a few.

Slowly gaining recognition in the Visayas area as their songs “Kalahati” and Globe Kantabataan winning entry ”Posible ang Lahat” are enjoying regular airplay in Cebu’s radio stations 91.5 Hot FM and 93.1 Smash FM. The recent Battle of the Band that they won was Sandugo Battle of the Bands ’07 where Adrian won the Best Vocalist, Alva as the Best Guitarist, and Arvin won as the Best Drummer for the third time. But the most prestigious competition they have won is the Globe Kantabataan ’07. Besting over hundreds of hopefuls and making them 9-time Battle of the Bands Champions.

The name Suitcase101 was derived from the band Matchbox20, whom at that time the band started was quite popular. It seems that there was no depth on the band’s name, but during the course of the Globe Kantabataan competition, the band was frequently traveling back and forth Manila and Bohol. They discovered that traveling together with the band makes their bond a lot stronger and they just love traveling together. Hence, the name Suitcase101 just fit quite right for the band.

Following the success of Globe Kantabataan, Alva decided to leave the band to pursue his nursing degree, a move that every parent should be proud of. Getting another guitarist was not a problem as Arnold Laser Bendoy was ready to fill the void that Alva left. Laser is not a stranger to the band as he had already played with the band as a session guitarist.

The band thrives on playing live. Be it a small gathering or a big arena, they will sweat the same. Fueled by diverse influence on each of the members, their music combines an aggressive melodic vibe with honest to goodness lyrics, raw emotion and unrestrained passion.
