ugat ng pinoy rock

The Juan Dela Cruz Band was one of the first rock and roll bands in the Philippines. In December 1970, the band was featured in the first open field rock festival in the Philippines, the Antipolo Rock Festival. The band's popularity gained momentum in September 1971 when it backed up the production of Jesus Christ Superstar at the Cultural Center of the Philippines

(CCP). Then in December of the same year, the band garnered its crowning glory when again, for the first time in the Philippines, a rock group on its own, backed by a full symphony orchestra (the National Philharmonic) was presented in concert at the CCP.

The band originally had six members: Wally Gonzales (guitars and vocals), Rene Segueco (organ and vocals), Clifford Ho (bass and vocal), Romy Santos (wind instruments), Bobot Guerrero (drums), and Sandy Tagarro (lead vocals). Sandy Tagarro left the band before the band's first album "Up in Arms" was released. Wally Gonzales, in an interview later credited Edmund "Bosyo" Fortuno of having coined the band's name though Bosyo's collaboration with the band wasn't until 1981 with Juan Dela Cruz Band's 6th Album in which he was the drummer along with Joey "Pepe" Smith.

pinsan

Pinsan Michael...not a biker pero mukhang rakista...hehehe....maybe that's the reason why he knows more about rocktoons....hehehe

inspiration...

Biker toons was inspired by a site recommended to me by my pinsan Michael Villegas. Since I'm into creating cartoon characters lately,based on real life personalities (mostly bikers and motorcycle enthusiast)... those of my relatives, friends and "ka-kilala" or whatsoever, so I decided to check it out. The site rocktoons.com is very cool! (To know more about of rocktoons.com, you can check it out at my followed link.)

Thus Biker Toons was born...ENJOY!
