My first rocking moments with a professional band....

Oh... Before I forget... I'd like to introduce myself...

I'm Erikson Pasamba... 18 years old... Currently residing at Taytay, Rizal... Cursedly single(ouch!)


This is my story of amazement about being a musician...


It's so cool to be the a new member of a band that i've always wanted to watch because of it's emotional yet crazy lyrics and stagerring licks of the guitars... This band is Covermequick/!\ I still can't figure out why did promoted me from being their "PA" (personal assistant) to thier fourth man... Their guitarist. Well, I had to admit that i really love to play with them. But for me, this is a dream come true. My first with them happened on a bar somewhere in Quezon city. At first, I'm a bit worried and scared at the same time because of some aspects like, playing wrong chords, getting jerked out in front of the crowd and many other misconceptions and insecurities. But when it's our turn to play some songs (I think for about 5 song), I feel my legs are shaking. I told to myself, "this is not right. I've been to many concerts with my other band (i have another band, playing totally nerve-wracking songs.)" But i didn't mind it. I just set all my gadgets and instruments and started to play those songs.


I didn't ecountered any problems when we play the first four songs except on the last song... I forgot the chords... But i've tried to en route the chourds by doing an ad lib. All's well, it happened to matched with some chords.. But it was dreadful. after the show, Box (the lead vocalist) told me, "ayos, kumabit naman ah! kaso, may madami kang mali dun sa huling kanta." The verdict, I'm in!
