Payback Time
This is the second gig we played at Funky Monkey Bar and Grill, the first one was just last month which was an Eraserheads Tribute. Christ was absent and so we were left with no choice but to play with a trio : Trd on drums , Onin, the bass and Edgar on guitars vocals. This previous first gig was hell. I was trying to play decent lead while also doing my parts as vocalist. It felt awkward even if Eks from pop rock band Radyo tried to fill in the gaps that Christ left due to a bad heart.
Nevertheless, we played okay on that event.
And then came this one. Anthology- A Tribute to The Beatles @ Funky Monkey Bar which happened just last night (May 30, 2013) . It was a gig that I’ve been waiting for. The band, RADAR love the BEATLES. We thought that this is a good time to vindicate ourselves and play darn good, or atleast better than the previous gig. Fortunately Chris was now feeling okay and was ready to rock. Tenacious Denz, our ever loyal friend and comrade happens to be free that night (Day off nya sa pagiging tech support, hehe) and offered to lend us a little help so we can get by by doing back vocals and all around support.
We thought it was payback time.

When We Was Young
Wild and Free
Like any other bands, ours went through the Young, Wild and Free phase. We were punks in a sense. Wala sa tono at puro ingay.
But those were the days. It was immense fun. Hiraman ng gitara. Hiraman ng gadget. Inuman. Tutugtog kahit walang pera.
Carte Blanche
It has been an uphill battle. It was never easy. Stage was heaven and hell. But it was more heaven than hell so the ride was good. When we were younger the playing was tough. Everyone was nervous everytime we set foot onstage. We all felt that butterfly in our stomach yes, but we dare not show that we were indeed nervous. Or is it just me? I’m guessing that the others are too but if we try to show it then what’s the point of getting on stage and play rock n roll if we all are just a bunch of chickens on stage?
So I try to cover my shyness by playing louder guitar and singing my guts out! Nobody wanted to sing. So I did it myself.
Like a Light Switch!
It was a chance meeting with Chris and Edgar that started it all. We idolized the Beatles and everything revolved on Beatles music and their lifestyles. It was a relentless pursuit of creating good music. Before, yung name namin was FlyingSausage but it failed to
soar high so to speak, members come and go. When drummer Gep left we figure might as well get a new drummer, change our band name and create far better music.
Band Name: RADAR ( raydär)
http://wiki.answers.com/Q/What_is_the_meaning_of_Radar
Baket RADAR? kasi lahat kami may kanya kanyang trip na musical soundwaves
at each of us contribute that soundwaves or musical influences to the sound of the band. Actually, natripan lang talaga ni Edgar kasi katunog ng name nya at kahit baligtarin mo pa ang spelling ng RADAR ay RADAR pa rin babalik. Sige try nyo na i-backmask ung spelling 🙂
Former members are: Rico Entico (bass)[now of Sleepyheads] ,Gep Macadaeg (drums) [ of Lipservice, Autotelic], brothers Jhay
(drums) & Gary Tarvina (bass) were fomer members.
WATCH Radar jamming Dambuhala, original song
Onin, who was with another band [60’s tribe, 2ec2z [guitars, bass, vox] also plays/jams with us from time to time became a permanent crew for RADAR and and now plays groovey bass and vocals. Yung core namin ngayon yung natira except for Trd who used to play to dozens of bands and who used to jam with us even before. Magkaka-kapitbahay lang kasi kami sa work,meaning ung offices namin magkakalapit lang sa Ortigas, Pasig. Onin and Edgar sometimes meet and talk for hours regarding rock idols and
songwriting and basically, LIFE. Except for Trd, who incidentally is the one who actually lives in Pasig. Trd is more of the explorer in the band. A day and night tripper if you will.

We Dig Music Like Glue & Epoxy
We are musical brothers. We love music. We dig rock n’ roll. We dig rock, pop, pop-jazz, reggae, funk, rap…the blues…chopsuey
na musical diversities. It is but natural for us to form our own little band. Matagal nang magkakakilala ang mga members ng band.
We jam and play gigs madalas kasama ang aming radarious friends na sina Tenacious Denz at Raymond Malicsi. We hangout once in awhile and share musical tastes and sharing ng mga musical idols. Madalas si Edgar pupunta kena Chris to jam and record original song demos. Onin used to frequent Edgar’s batcave just to jam and write lyrics or record demos. We also frequent bars
just to talk about our favorite bands,guitars, compare stomps, FX gadgets, share newfound sounds and our evil plan to record our
songs. We dig music. No music no life. Pag walang RADAR walang buhay.
