It's not known to a lot of people that I am a fangirl. Yes! I AM A FANGIRL. I have a high tendency to get hooked on an artist or author or any person I admire. One of the many things I fangirl about is Pinoy bands. I remember going to SM Megamall on a schoolday in college for an album launching of Bamboo with Sugarfree and Hale as the front acts. I was teary eyed watching Champ of Hale singing The Day you said Goodnight and got as many free posters as I can. I am also a big fan of Sugarfree, I bought CDs and printed their lyrics just so I could sing along (with feelings, ha!) with them. When they visited our campus I made sure I had a poster and a sign from them. I was so proud that Ebe wrote my nickname on the poster. Feeling close ako nun. Another fangirl moment was my first UP fair, a thank you to a friend who gave us back stage passes. Grabe! I saw all great Pinoy bands there and my fangirl needs were more than satisfied. Haha!
It's been so long since I fangirl any bands and somebody just unleashed my superpowers again!! Hihi!
Let me introduce to you the:
BENNY BUNNY BAND
I got to watch three of their gigs already and I go home each time wanting to hear or see more of them.
Here's why I love them:
1.I did not know them before but they got me at "Pam Together" song. It is a song Benny (lead vocals) wrote about Pam from the series The Office. AND I LOVE PAM AND JIM HALPERT. I was such a fan I recorded them on my phone.
2. The Ukelele. And its electric. ( Tama ba?) Anyway it is a nice touch to the music and I didn't know it can sound like how it sounded. (I'm no expert in musical instruments hihi)
3. The good vibes. Everytime I watch them I feel happy. The performance is consistent everytime that spreads to the audience. You would want to know the lyrics and sing along. It's like endorphins performing in front of your eyes, into your ears and would make you dance to your feet.
4. Highly relatable songs that puts unexplainable feelings and emotions into words. Feelings you thought could never be expressed, Benny bunny band has put it into writing with just the perfect sounds.
5. Kilig to the next level. You wished you were the one who's song's been dedicated to. You would want to be the anghel na walang pakpak or Laarni or Pam. Feeling ko nga kanta sakin ng asawa ko yung Ikaw na ang Anghel, Bow! Haha!:P
6. Love song minus the cheesy corny feeling. You know its a love song but you don't know what/how/when it hit you, you just know that it's a great song.
7. The music is contagious and has a high recall. You would want to hear it again and again because you remember how it made you feel. Lahat happy, lahat loved.
In short, the band is an all in package. You hear excellent music, sing to #feels lyrics and watch extraordinary performance everytime.
Benny bunny band is a REAL band. True to their music, true to their craft, true to their passion!
Listen to them and I guarantee you, you will be a fan!:)

Thank you Benny Bunny Band for the music! You got one fangirl here!:)
I'm thinking kung matanda na ba ko because I don't know this band. Good for you that you won tickets. :)
ReplyDeleteAgree! :))
DeleteI can see you had a really great time. It's always amazing to be in concerts, esp if the tickets are free. Hehe.
ReplyDeletesorry di nga lang ako aware sa band na ito pero I ichecked the link u attached. intro pa lang ng ukelele kakakilig and relaxing na :)
ReplyDeleteThe last band a really listened to was the Eraser Head. Wow, tanda ko na. It was such a long time ago.
ReplyDeleteNice that you still support Pinoy bands! I love them bands too but I don't go to gigs though.
ReplyDeleteGreat also you won tickets!
very entertaining type of music, very refreshing, too. will take note of the band name when my hubby and i go on a band-watching date. :)
ReplyDeleteOh no. It was the first time I heard of this band. Hehehe. I used to watch concerts when I was younger. Sadly, I don;t have time to do that now. Looks like you had fun :)
ReplyDeleteI can relate to being a fan girl. I used to have everything Eraserheads ever produced or published! I haven't heard of this band before but their music sounds interesting!
ReplyDeleteI'm not easily starstruck but I can relate. We got to watch Les Miserables on Broadway when Lea Salonga was on the show. It was the first time I saw her perform live. She's really the best! I was so lucky to have been able to get an autograph and photo with her afterwards. :)
ReplyDeleteHonestly, I don't know Benny Bunny Band. I'm so out of touch. Lol! But it looks like they're worth listening, too, because of your nice review of this group and their music. I'll go to YouTube to listen to some of their songs. -- Maria Teresa Figuerres
ReplyDeleteCute!
ReplyDeleteIt's my first time to hear about Benny Bunny Band. I'll check them out.
ReplyDeleteBenny Bunny Band. Cool name!
ReplyDeleteI really love the way you write :)
ReplyDeletethanks for posting very interesting articles
I admire you girl as a band fanatic. It is not question about for you're a true-blooded music gal. Sorry to tell you that this is the first time that I heard about BB band and I tried to search it in YouTube and I came across with Benny's composition, "Lagari". I like the song, the music could be classified as easy-listening.
ReplyDeleteI haven't heard of the band before. I must be getting outdated with the music scene. Hehe.
ReplyDeleteI feel your joy watching them and listening to their music, hope to experience that also. :)
ReplyDeleteThe name of the band is very clever! Love it <3

They play the ukulele? That's awesome! I haven't heard of this band before, but now I'll be watching for their songs :)
ReplyDeleteIt's nice that you won a ticket sa fave band you :-)
ReplyDeleteAre your students aware that you're a fan girl? hehehhe :) I'm sure they'd think it's cool! :)
ReplyDeleteYou obviously had so much fun on their concert. I would also be super excited if I get to watch my favorite band live. :)
ReplyDeleteWatching a band live is very enjoying especially if you're a fan. Congratulations with the ticket you've won! Hope to experience this also, but I guess I'm to old and busy for this thing. Hehe. :)
ReplyDeleteThis BennyBunnyBand, never heard of them before. They look funny and interesting.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing their SoundCloud, I got to listen to them now :)
Fun times! i miss watching concerts, this band looks like a new generations of kamikaze :)
ReplyDeletehaven't heard about them until now. thanks for sharing their soundcloud account!
ReplyDeleteI haven't heard about them until now too! And I think they're not the only but some new bands as well LOL! Thanks for sharing. I will check them on Youtube :)
ReplyDeleteYou look like you're having fun there! Hoping to hear the Benny Bunny Band too!
ReplyDeleteThis is the first time that I learned about this band. I was a fan of Parokya ni Edgar, RiverMaya and Eraserheads in my high school days.
ReplyDeleteSay, I have to agree with all your points here! I saw them performed for like twice (though it's for Docdef Productions at Route 196). And Benny's actually a hilarious guy. During those encounters at the gigs, I managed to chat with him. Looking forward to hear them again soon if I got some time to storm by on their gigs!
ReplyDeleteSir Slick Master, they'll be launching their EP album on September 11, at B Side Collective, maybe you can catch them there too!:)
