Damn it

It’s final.

Last Friday’s NU107 Rock Awards held at the NBC Tent in Taguig was its swan song, thus ending 17 years of giving recognition to the country’s most talented rock musicians.

In effect, it also confirmed loose talk that NU’s modern rock format will be dumped very soon.

At the close of the four-hour show, NU DJs from various phases of the station’s distinguished 23-year history gathered onstage to toast a boisterous crowd of 3,000 fans and guests.

An impromptu eulogy delivered by DJ Francis Brew (a.k.a. The Dawn’s former guitarist Francis Reyes) was peppered by exhortations to the young generation of musicians to keep on making music, ending on a hopeful note that Pinoy rock will live on forever.
It was a fitting goodbye to the 17th Rock Awards which saw two upstart bands garnering major citations for their debuts the past year. Four-man group Franco won the Artist of the Year, Album of the Year, and Song of the Year honors plus NU Listener’s Choice award.

Eight-piece pop-rockers Tanya Markova took home the Best New Artist, Best Live Act and Best Video plaques
