Posted under Live Gigs & Me & My Thoughts
I was there late and the band has already started playing. I have heard so much of this band called Cosmic Funk Express but then again I have not known them until that night when I stepped into the place full or crowd. The last time I was there, there was no one crowding the space in front of the stage, but that night I was like full and I can see they did not go there to take photographs. They were fans, hardcore fans to say the least.
This time the management even decided to barricade the area near the stage leaving very little room for me to move around least to say take pictures. As I settled down for a while I heard Alda announcing to the crowd that it will be their last performance, I don’t know much about the band then but I could sense the crowd’s disappointment. I had no disappointment at that moment but as time passed, the disappointment rises in me. How could I not know them earlier, like 3 years ago? They were fantastic… really.
The band Cosmic Funk Express comprises of 3 members which is Alda on the bass, Zack on the electric guitar and Alex on the drums. Zack was awesome on the guitar and when he plays two electric guitar at the same time, the crowd went wild. A very talented guitarist I must say. Alda on the other hand mesmerizes the crowd with his skills on the bass and his style when he plays the bass guitar, there’s only one word for it, style. Alex which plays the drums showed the crowd his skills and handiwork. They were truly amazing.
During that performance, Izwin was one of the guest which was the vocal for the band that night. She sang a few songs which I do not really recall the names but her voice reached out and brought out the songs the band was playing. Another guest I guess was Savy, and she plays the keyboard. She blended in with the band and boy does she play well too. Over all the band was electrifying and when they played some of the songs, the crowd was dancing in the front portion of the stage.
I guess Cosmic Funk Express will be a band that we are going to miss…
I miss them already…
