Banda Ni Kleggy, the beloved Filipino band, marked a joyous occasion on July 19th, 2023, as they celebrated their 12th year together as a band and the 10th anniversary of their debut album, “Only In the Philippines.” The commemorative event took place at the iconic 70s Bistro in Anonas, Quezon City.
The celebration was nothing short of spectacular, as the venue was filled with an atmosphere of nostalgia and appreciation for the band’s musical journey. Some esteemed guest bands who are good friends of the band, including totâ, Mayonnaise, Jem, Fourplay, and Gracenote, added to the excitement by performing alongside Banda Ni Kleggy.
Taking the stage as the main event, Banda Ni Kleggy performed a captivating set of 10 songs, handpicked from their debut album “Only In the Philippines.” The crowd was treated to nostalgic favorites such as “Experto,” “Discolamon,” and “Bawal Sa Gamot.” During the performance of “Bawal Sa Gamot,” the band was joined by the talented drummer Veanca, who traveled all the way from Isabela just to play with the band after they discovered her impressive drum cover of the song on Facebook.
The setlist also included heartwarming tracks like “Umay,” “Mahal Kita Pramis,” “Walang-Wala,” and “Darating.” The band thrilled their fans by showcasing their latest single, “Bahay Kubo”, and “Pabili Po,” which was originally the band’s entry for PhilPop 2016, composed in collaboration with Aikee. The evening reached its crescendo with Banda Ni Kleggy’s rendition of Alamid’s classic hit, “Your Love.”
