they disbanded. october 13th this year. last dance was i think in 19east.
yeah, it happens. good bands disband. to name a few, there's eraserheads, the previous rivermaya, (with bamboo and nathan in it), the beatles, bla bla bla. and the rest. (urgh, how rude) and dicta license!! god, i almost forgot.
when i saw "ang ating araw" on a music channel, (okay, it's mtv. fine fine.) i said, "goddam, another one of those idiotic bands imitating bamboo." yeah, i called them idiots. i never even opened my ears to them, hell. but when no one bothered to shift channels, and sisikat nang muli ang ating araw kept on playing, i was finally able to hear it. hear what? the passion, the difference, the music. the really good music. so i was, "whoah, i stand corrected. who are these people?"
i went to manila for some break in school i think and went to get a couple of music cds from the store. (okay, it's the record bar, god! gotta stop doing that. haha) so there. my mom said i could get just three. (yeah, she didn't believe in buying original cds for 300 bucks) so i got two cds i really like and i really listed. then i was standing between parokya ni edgar's new cd and dicta license's paghilom. so i was like a kid deciding over candy: lollipop or gum? my sister's already pissed. we've been there for an hour already. she was like, "pick one already, dammit."
so i picked parokya ni edgar. wow. but i couldn't get that weird album cover of dicta license outta my head. so when we were at the cashier, i got the parokya cd and ran back to the record bar and changed it for paghilom.
and so began the epic of dicta license.
the first time i saw dicta license was during my college freshmen orientation night. yeah, the o-night. they said great bands will come, so i was like, "what the hell? you sure? when do i get home? (haha)" after that, there they were, yeah, poch, kel, boogs and bryan. i invited some blockmates to go and watch them but they were, "dicta who??" so i went alone, squeezed my way to the front and before i knew it, i WAS in the front row. cool.
that was the first and last time i saw them perform. sad but yeah. that was it. they disbanded even before i could get my cd signed, or even before i could take a photo with them. but i think the music of dicta license shall live in me and for everyone who valued them for that matter.
p.s. dicta license taught me how to get license's spelling right. god, i always interchange c's and s' in it. haha.
