3. How it came to be…
LIFE AFTER 6 BAND started in September 2003. Rico Barreda, the
originator, came up with its name of how life really starts with most of
the musicians, from gearing-up themselves for the night performance.
It goes with the folks who love to find temporary relief, comfort and
relaxation after a hassle and bustle in a day’s life. Numeric 6 is
significant in the sense that nighttime considerably starts at six and it’s
the time everyone prepare themselves for the night out . This is how
LIFE AFTER 6 got its name.
The band played locally in small bars and hotels until it ventured
international and played in bigger venues like Hilton, Movenpick
Hotels, Crowne Plaza Hotels and Sheraton Hotel. Because of its
energetic live performances, the band has several contracts and
comebacks at some of these hotels. Eventually, the band earned
commendations and respect from their audience and hotel
managements as well. Their livewire performances has captured the
hearts of Hip-Hop, Rock, Retro, Popular and classic song lovers. Until
this days, they continue their music as the main band of these hotels.
Their clients await them on their venues…
