ATTENTION EVERYONE!!!!
[WELL, WHOEVER READS MY BLOG LOL]

I will no longer be using blogspot to post updates on the JabbaWockeeZ. I have been really busy lately now that the JabbaWockeeZ pushed me to be a dancer :] Their inspiration can push so many people to do what they love and I really appreciate them for that. So, basically I don't really have time to post updates because of practice and performances LOL. Plus, the JabbaWockeeZ themselves have been busy and there are so many updates hahaha.

I do have a tumblr though. My tumblr isn't strictly for JabbaWockeeZ updates buht I do post updates on them on my tumblr. If you have a tumblr ... PLEASE FOLLOW ME!

So anyways ... the JabbaWockeeZ were having a meet&greet here in the U.S. and I think they JUST got back from the Philippines. I was one of the lucky people that got chosen to attend the meet&greet and it was at a mall. So when the Jabbas finally came they told us that as a treat, they're going to buy whatever we want in the mall. I was curious to what our limit was cuz I was so freaking excited LOL so I go up to Phil and i'm like

Me:"Wait, so we can get whatever we want? :D What's our limit?"
Phil: "NO LIMIT, get whatever yooh want girl! :]" AHHHHHHHHHH!
Me: "OMG thank yooh guys so much this is freaking amazing of yooh guys"
Phil: "Haha no problem, it's the least we can do for our amazing fans"
Me: "AHHHHHH! hahaha *hugs Phil*"
and then Phil did the "ohkay bye *hug* ohkay bye *hug* ohkay bye *hug*" thingy that April Bambao did to meh when i first met her LOLLLL

Ohkay, I forgot the rest of the dream ... buht it was so freaking amazing! I got to bond with all of the Jabbas separately so I got to know them even more! It was only a dream though :[ hahaha

Interview with Kevin Brewer: ABDC5 Auditions in NYC

2009-12-26T12:45:00.000-08:00

"KEVIN BREWER - What the ride has been like since the win?: “It is definitely an unusual thing. I’m not used it… Having people running and screaming and wanting to get autographs is very weird. It’s cool. Very humbling. Initially, it’s like wow. It’s kind of crazy but we kind of got a little used to it…It’s just cool to see the inspiration on people’s faces when they talk to us or when we see them. It’s inspiring us to keep pushing forward and doing what we do ’cause we are ultimately doing it for them.”

What’s it like being an opening act for New Kids on the Block?: “We had come from a circuit where it was dance showcases, so we kind of looked at it from that perspective. In a dance showcase, you’re just a dance crew. People come sit down and they just watch different dance acts. So being an opening act, we kind of didn’t really look at it that way. It’s just business as usual. But the difference is the amount of people, the amount of eyes, we have on us. Being on tour with the New Kids, it really did help sharpen our performance…We are trying to put the dancing [out in] front.”

What’s next for Jabbawockeez?: “Currently, we are enjoying the holidays but once 2010 hits, it’s back to grinding. We got a couple of performances in January, I believe and there are prospects of going international for a while. All that stuff is in the works. I think 2010 will be a good year for us because it’s a blessing that we haven’t gone backwards so far…we have been moving forward. Hopefully, [we'll] keep the wind in our sails and keep going forward. "

"The Memphis Grizzlies have finalized the opening night entertainment at the FedEx Forum. To open the season the Grizzlies will have Memphis artists Academy award winning Three 6 Mafia, American Idol Finalist Lil Rounds and JabbaWockeez, America's Best Dance Crew, performing.

Opening night will also be the first Beale Street Blue-Out Game as the first 10,000 fans in attendance will receive Beale St Blue T-Shirts presented by First Tennessee in honor of the new third alternate uniform that the Grizzlies will be wearing.

'Every night of the season we try to give fans a truly memorable basketball and entertainment experience, and Opening night is the one game that sets the tone to do just that" said Grizzlies President of Business Operations Greg Campbell. "From the excitement of our team taking the floor for the first time in their new alternate uniforms to the atmosphere that the diverse talents of Three 6 Mafia, the JabbaWockeez and Lil Rounds will bring to FedEx Forum, this will be a night that all of our fans decked out in Beale St Blue will know that they are part of Grizz Nation.'

Three 6 Mafia and JabbaWockeez will perform during the player introductions and Lil Rounds will sing the National Anthem. Tickets are still available starting at $5.00 and can be purchased at all Ticketmaster outlets, The FedEx Forum box office, by calling (800) 4NBA-TIX or by going on-line at Grizzlies.com."

"Katy Perry Rocks For Relief" Concert

"MANILA, Philippines - The mother of all music fundraisers for victims of Tropical Storm Ondoy just might be the “Katy Perry Rocks for Relief” concert, which will also feature major rock, pop and dance acts on Nov. 14 at the SM Mall of Asia open grounds in Pasay City.

Aside from Perry — an American singer-songwriter who started with gospel and country music before hitting the charts with the pop single “I Kissed a Girl” — other current and hot artists who have committed to perform are Arnel Pineda and Neal Schon, lead vocalist and guitarist-composer, respectively, of the band Journey, and JabbaWockeeZ, the all-male hip hop dance crew from California, four of whom are Fil-Americans.

Another US-based artist, Nicole Scherzinger — lead singer of the Pussycat Dolls and whose father is Filipino — is reportedly fixing her schedule so she can be part of the concert."

LOLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL SO FREAKING WEIRD. And Eddie was like "Yea yooh can! There's something that actually does that now, all yooh gotta do it put this usb near the scent and then put into the computer and then yooh can send it to people" LOLLLLLLLLLLL SUCH A WEIRD DREAM HAHAHAHAHH. That's pretty much what I remember from the dream x] It was so weird HAHAHH, buht it was amazing :D

Philippine Daily Inquirer Interviews the JabbaWockeeZ

2009-09-06T08:22:00.000-07:00

Pinoy Jabbawockeez!
By Pocholo Concepcion
Philippine Daily Inquirer
First Posted 02:14:00 09/06/2009

There’s the homegrown Philippine All Stars, which beat 27 countries to win the 2006 and 2008 World Hip Hop Championships. And then there’s the California-based Jabbawockeez, currently a 10-man group—four of whom are Pinoys—which took the grand prize last year in the inaugural season of the MTV show “America’s Best Dance Crew.”
Jabbawockeez, which took its name from the playful, unconventional Lewis Carroll poem “Jabberwocky,” is in town for a series of Ayala Mall shows, with guests DJ Rashida and Billy Crawford. The last one is tonight, 6 p.m. at Glorietta 4.
Formed in 2003, the group started by competing at local club events in San Diego and LA. It originally had eight members led by Gary Kendall, an American who died just before Jabbawockeez joined “ABDC.” His death spurred the rest—Rynan Paguio, Chris Gatdula, Phil Tayag, Joe Larot (Philippines), Ben Chung (Korea), Jeff Nguyen (Vietnam) and Kevin Brewer (United States) to aim higher.

The Pinoys, happy to be home, sat down for a short chat with the Inquirer:

Did anyone of you attend formal dance school?
Rynan: Most of us just practiced in the garage with friends. We just laid out the linoleum, pretty much like breakdancing … In time we developed a technique. When hip hop started evolving and dance studios began to hire hip hop instructors, we ended up teaching … We adapted what jazz teachers did in their counting …

Is there a leader, or how does the creative process work for the group?
Rainen: There’s no leader … it’s like a potluck where everybody brings in their share …
Phil: It’s like sinigang … or sisig …
Kevin: We collectively put stuff in … as choreographers, the music is the root of it … it sets the mood, tempo and feel of it … If the instrumental is upbeat, then of course our moves will reflect that mood …

Who thought of incorporating mime, kabuki masks and Jeet Kune Do elements into the choreography?
Kevin: We didn’t want people to know who we were so we put on masks. But of course when people can’t see our facial expressions we had to use our bodies and that’s where the mime came in. But it wasn’t our goal to have these elements. We just developed [the whole act]. As for Jeet Kune Do, that’s the philosophy behind the dance, inspired by Bruce Lee. It’s about honestly expressing one’s self through movement.

Has this become a full-time career for the group?
Rynan: Right now it’s our 9 to 5. We’ve set up a company ... if we’re not dancing, we’re rehearsing or working on our clothing line, doing a video, updating the website...

Was that the original goal?
No, we just wanted to dance together and have a good time. It was really Gary who was like the main guy. He always had high hopes and dreams for the group. When he passed away we started to push for that. And we started seeing people get driven by what we do, just by the way we dance.

Is there a Pinoy element at all in your dance moves?
Chris: Well, we’re a little behind the times, but we can do the ocho-ocho.

Thanks Bree for the link!

FHM.COM Interview with the JabbaWockeeZ

2009-09-04T15:23:00.000-07:00

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.
