METAL MUFFINS

Metal Muffins is one of Cebu’s unique bands. A hard-edged all-female rock band whose forte is classic 80’s rock and metal! The band is consists of five members; Chai the vocalist, Cathee the lead guitarist, Mishia the rhythm guitarist, Dannica the bassist, and P the dummer. Sometimes they bring in Jill as a session bassist.

The band was established in August 2015. Since then they’ve been awarded multiple times including being 1st runner up’s in AudioGig Battle of the Bands, Lightbulb Project Band Brawl, and the Harley Davidson Band Showdown. They were also able to become a semi-finalist at the Girls Rock Asia in Bangkok, Thailand last year.

They are influenced by classic rock acts such as AC/DC, Guns n Roses, Poison, and of course Joan Jett and the Blackhearts.

EVE’S GARDEN

Somewhat of a supergroup akin to Franco, Eve’s Garden is a band consists of members from other established bands in Cebu and one from New York. Drummer Wiggy Colmenares formed the band in 1997. It was initially called Stone Free. He took in Ric Villanueva to be the bassist and Randy Pages of Cuarenta to be the guitarist. Later Dondon Luche of Bad Baby became a second guitarist and Bien Lobetos replaced the original vocalist.

The band had a good run in the late 90’s, but eventually disbanded when Wiggy left for the U.S. to join the New York band The Glorious Veins.In the recent years however, Eve’s Garden performed some small reunion gigs, albeit rarely since most members belong to other bands. They’ve even added two new members such as bassist Jay Young of Joint Project and drummer Ed Catalan of Bad Baby.

While the band members treat Eve’s Garden as a side project, they recently decided to concentrate to make it have its own unique blend of blues and rock and roll. They’d still perform their classic rock roots as well as pen original material! Eve’s Garden will be performing mostly 70’s hit at the Bootleg Gold Live V.

LEON & THE BANDITS

Leon & The Bandits is a relatively new band here in Cebu. It is formed by Leon Parker, the general manager of the The Emerald Pub & Grub where the Bootleg Gold Live V will be happening. The Emerald has also hosted several great acts like the old school goth band The Late Isabel, the experimental Sucar Hiccup, and the wonderful Camerawalls, which the Bandits had the pleasure to front act for.
