Transcript

00:00 We have a chance to talk to a very talented band

00:05 whose name is The Eastside Band.

00:07 Good morning and welcome to Rise and Shine, Philippines!

00:10 Good morning, Rise and Shine, Philippines!

00:15 You're all here! Good morning!

00:19 Yes! Good morning!

00:22 Can you introduce yourselves?

00:27 Once again, we're The Eastside Band. My name is Anthony.

00:30 And next to me is...

00:32 My name is Nash.

00:33 Nash.

00:34 And I'm Shadex.

00:36 Shadex, and of course, on the piano is Dave.

00:40 And then behind me is Junie,

00:43 JR,

00:44 and Jeffoy on the drums.

00:46 Good morning to all of you!

00:49 How did your band start?

00:51 And what's the story behind your band name, The Eastside Band?

00:55 Is there a name like that?

00:57 Yes, we have a name called Eastside.

01:00 So the band started 10 years ago.

01:05 We came from different bands before.

01:08 We played in rock bands.

01:12 And then...

01:13 What's the name of the noisy band?

01:15 That's a question for Jeffoy.

01:17 Why don't you answer?

01:19 Metal?

01:20 He's just laughing.

01:22 So we were in a gig before.

01:27 And from there, we always hang out in the bars.

01:31 That's where we started.

01:33 And the Eastside name,

01:35 we always say that it's a deep name.

01:40 It started when we were in a bar.

01:43 And our band didn't have a name yet.

01:45 While we were playing, a customer asked what the name of our band was.

01:49 And my vocalist, Nety,

01:52 saw a print on the shirt of a customer,

01:57 "Eastside."

01:58 So from there, we decided to go with the name Eastside.

02:03 Until now, that's the band name we use.

02:06 I'm very curious.

02:08 You said that when you met, you're from different genres.

02:11 How did you get together?

02:13 Considering that you're in metal,

02:16 how did you get together as a group?

02:19 Yeah.

02:21 We play a variety of songs.

02:26 But when we started the YouTube and Facebook page,

02:30 people liked the ballads and the classics.

02:35 And the songs that they can sing along.

02:38 So how did we come up into one group?

02:41 It's just a feeling, right?

02:45 Because what people are looking for, we gave it to them.

02:48 So from there, that became our source.

02:52 What do you call this?

02:54 It became our inspiration to do it.

02:57 So from metal to rock,

03:01 we came to a point that our fondon should be like this.

03:05 Because it's more cohesive, more people.

03:08 It's like that.

03:09 If you're a musician, it's easy.

03:13 But we heard that you used to sing on the veranda of your house.

03:18 Can you tell us that story?

03:22 What happened there?

03:24 Actually, it was on the veranda of Shadex's house.

03:27 He'll tell you how that happened.

03:29 When we started making videos,

03:32 our intention was to gather more live gigs.

03:35 Then we started uploading it on social media,

03:39 on YouTube and Facebook.

03:40 We didn't expect that it would click.

03:44 Then we just continued making videos here in the garage and on the veranda.

03:48 Actually, we have a studio inside.

03:52 Yes, it's inside.

03:54 But we don't use it because it's not that popular with our videos.

03:58 Our audience likes it more on the veranda.

04:01 Yes.

04:02 Alright.

04:04 Because it's like they're just with us while playing.

04:07 It's like they're just with us and we're just chilling.

04:11 That's how it is.

04:12 When did you start as a band?

04:15 And what were the challenges that you faced while starting in the music industry?

04:20 When did you start working together?

04:22 Yes, we started in 2010.

04:25 It was during the college days.

04:27 Shadex, Jefoy, and I were in the same university.

04:31 Nettie was with us.

04:32 And then the others from other schools.

04:34 In Cotabato City, the music industry is small.

04:37 So, every band that was here would get to know each other.

04:41 So, from there, 2010, from small gigs to going to different places,

04:49 we were invited to play in parties, shows, and other private events.

04:58 And then the challenges that we met along the way were before the time.

05:05 Because we had work before, right?

05:09 And then there were people assigned to other places like Shadex.

05:13 So, there was a point where we stopped with our regular gigs because we were focused on work.

05:21 But now, because of this, our passion is music.

05:25 So, we focused on doing more music with our channel and our page.

05:32 And one of the challenges that we experienced was the songs that we were doing covers of.

05:40 Because we couldn't say which songs would click with the people.

05:44 So, we were doing a way to research more about the songs that we could do covers of.

05:52 And aside from that, we also wanted to make our own songs.

05:56 So, that was one of the challenges.

05:58 How to create our own songs, produce our own songs,

06:02 so that at least you can complete the journey as a musician to release your own songs.

06:09 Do you have an upcoming major concert?

06:12 When and where will it be held?

06:14 And please invite our viewers to support your first major concert.

06:17 Yes, thank you so much.

06:20 Our first major concert will be held on October 6, 2023 at the Sky Dome SM North EDSA Quezon City.

06:27 That's on Friday.

06:29 How many people will be sleeping? Only three people?

06:31 Is that right? Three people?

06:33 So, that's at 8pm.

06:35 We'll see each other there, especially our followers.

07:19 We'll be watching your MTV later, but can I request that you can sample a little bit of your song

07:28 so that we can hear it live?

07:30 Sure, sure.

10:52 And I can't hold on

10:54 To the feeling that's gone

11:49 And if I ever lose your smile, if I ever lose your heart

11:55 And you're parting days, I want to love and I say

12:00 No arms can ever hold you more than I do

12:06 No man can ever love you, no, it's true

12:11 No arms can ever hold you more than I do

12:17 You came to me from heaven, girl, it's true

12:29 (Instrumental)

12:46 (Instrumental)

13:00 When I feel like the world's gone mad

13:05 And I need you so bad

13:08 But I don't know where you are

13:13 I cry these tears

13:19 (Instrumental)

13:23 On our own, we've been so far

13:28 We've torn at the moon

13:31 And we've counted a million stars

13:36 My love, still true

13:42 (Instrumental)

13:46 Friends have come and gone

13:51 Some have left me alone

13:54 But I've stared at these walls before

13:59 And they made me blue

14:05 (Instrumental)

14:09 All along, in my heart I've known

14:15 There's one thing in my life that still drifts through

14:23 I can't count on you

14:30 Can't hope you to be there

14:36 No questions in the air

14:42 No asking why you're there

14:48 No looking back

14:54 Count on you every time

14:59 To ease my worried mind

15:05 You'll forever be important to me

15:11 My miracle find
