You could call this mantra of the Sabado Boys, the supergroup
composed of Jimmy Bondoc, Paolo Santos, Luke Mejares, and DJ Myke
Salomon. It all comes together this coming Saturday, June 21, 8PM when
they headline the concert “Bedroom Boys” at the Music Museum.
“It’s a sexy show,” teases Jimmy, the group’s most outspoken member.
“May pagka-naughty,” shares Paolo.
The main image for the concert’s poster is suggestive enough. Paolo, Jimmy, Luke and Myke are in bed wearing white undershirts while a pair of female legs shod in red pumps can be seen sticking out of the white pillows and sheets underneath.
Two alluring guest performers will provide female company during the concert: Nicole Asensio, vocalist of the acclaimed all-female rock band General Luna, and Natalia Moon, the Australian singer-actress who used to be a member of TV5’s Gaga Girls. The Sabado Boys will also be backed by the band Crib.
“We will be singing very romantic songs, but the spiels will be parang usapang lalake. The show will be a very private affair with the audience,” Jimmy elaborates.
Fans of the group and its members as individual performers should know what to expect. They became the Sabado Boys in 2006 when they got together for “Sabado Nights”, the TV show that gave the group their name.
Besides shining the spotlight on their individual talents and their burgeoning chemistry as a group, the show honed their hosting skills and sharpened the kind of manly repartee that you only get from sharing common interests and forging a friendship.
After three seasons and two network transfers that saw it jump from RPN-9 to Studio 23 and finally TV5, the show folded. But the Sabado Boys kept the music playing. They continued to perform as a group despite the eventual departure of two original members, Top Suzara and Mike Chan.
“I guess ang strength namin is established na ang individual careers namin as solo artists bago kami naging grupo,” notes Paolo.
He and fellow singer-songwriter Jimmy rode the acoustic wave that swept the music industry at the turn of the 21st century. They’re still on that wave over a decade later.
Luke achieved solo success after a memorable stint with famed 1990s R&B band South Border. DJ Myke, on the other hand, was the resident beatboxer of the late and lamented all-male acapella outfit Akafellas.
These days, they continue to shine with their individual careers, which are not limited to music, alongside their group efforts as an all-star quartet.
DJ Myke produces music for TV, radio and commercials. He also does musical scoring for films, such as Carlito Siguion-Reyna’s upcoming Cinemalaya entry “Hari ng Tondo”. He is also excited about the re-run of PETA’s hit musical “Rak of Aegis” in which he pulls double duty as actor and musical director. (The re-run begins June 20 and plays till August.)
“I’m gathering songs for my next album,” Luke says. “Hopefully ma-release within the year.” He considers himself a full-time dad to his two kids even as his exquisite falsetto remains a sought-after commodity for corporate and out-of-town shows.
“I still perform regularly four times a week,” Paolo offers. He is also pursuing other interests outside of music, such as being a regular contributor to Impact Golf Magazine. He is also about to put up a distributorship of Vespa and other brands of scooters.
Jimmy, on the other hand, is all set to release his latest solo album soon after their concert. “I’m done with the mixing process,” he notes. The album, which he describes as “guitar-based and country-oriented”, will feature all original songs he wrote himself.
Having individual careers means there are occasional Sabado Boys gigs where not all four can be present. But such is their bond that, invariably, each member would rather choose to perform with the group than be a solo act.
“Eight years na kami as a group, but we still love what we do when we’re together,” Paolo says.
“Usapan lang namin noon, pag di na kami masaya, tigil na. E masaya pa rin kami, so tuloy-tuloy pa rin ang Sabado Boys,” Jimmy concludes.
