Rock band Bamboo breaks up, Official statement released!

Posted: 12 Jan 2011 05:21 PM PST

After 8 years of delivering great alternative rock music, the Pinoy band "Bamboo" headed by Francisco "Bamboo" Mañalac officially announced the breakup of the band!

Bamboo issued a statement posted in their official website:
"Hello everybody, We started the band 2002-2003, playing for small venues or to whoever just wanted to sit down and listen to 4 old dogs who refused to grow up and continued to do what we know we were born to do (it took me awhile. I confess). No one believed in us at the start. Always with a chip on our shoulder we were able and willingly ready to prove doubters wrong.
"Here we are 7 or 8 (to the few) years later. (A lifetime in this business.) Things change.
"As a group we've come to a point where you have to trust your gut, your hear and your head and accept that all things change. The hardest part as always is to know when to pack it up and part ways. We've learned that this journey is not only about is but includes all who came along for the trip. Family, friends and of course our front row believers who were there for the best reason of all. To simply listen. So it didn't come easy winding down to this decision.
So here we go--IT'S OFFICIAL--THE BAND--IT'S OVER.
"A chapter closes and a new one begins. So what happens next? I don't know. 2011 and I readily look forward to tomorrow's "I don't knows" and hiccups. So "here we go" a new page.
"This is not the end. We move forward for all the right reasons. This is not a sad day. Music will forever be a part of our lives and I couldn't imagine us just simply walking away. Not possible. All I see are possibilities.
So to end in behalf of the band and Management I would like to thank everybody. Our friends, fans, supporters and Believers. Thank You. To the few brave producers out there. Thank you. Our business partners throughout the years. Thank you. To EMI and Polyeast. Thank you. This is not goodbye."
Band members include Ira Cruz (guitars), Nathan Azarcon (bass) and Vic Mercado (drums). They released for successful albums: As The Music Plays in 2004, Light Peace Love (2005), We Stand Alone Together (2007), and Tomorrow Becomes Yesterday (2008).

The band won numerous awards at the AWIT Awards, NU 107 Rock Awards, Aliw Awards and MTV Pilipinas.
