INTERVIEW: LOU E. ALBANO
You've all heard about the Jabbawockeez, yes? The dance group from the US with Pinoy members? The be-masked group who danced with Shaquille O'Neal at the NBA All-Stars 2009? FHM nabbed an exclusive interview with them boys right before they came over! That's right, the Jabbawockeez are in town! Familiarize yourselves with them Jabbawockeez before they jabbfy you.
How did Jabbawockeez start?
Kevin Brewer: Jabbawockeez was officially formed in San Diego in 2003. It was born out of the need for us to express ourselves through music on our own terms, an outlet for us to be creative. Jabbawockeez was formed in a very organic way. We were a bunch of homiers that freestyled with each other all the time.
Joe Larot: There were eight original members: Randy, Gary [Kendall], Ryan, Chris [Gatdula], Rainen [Paguio], Joe [Larot], Phil [Tayag], Keibee [Brewer]. Ryan was young and moved away with his family. After our debut, we added Saso [Jimenez] and Eddie [Gutierrez]. In 2004, we met Phil through a show in LA and battled him in the crew. The last member to be battled in was Ben [Chung]. We've all been friends through the dance community for years.
