Mongo Bread

WE ARE MONGO BREAD, DELICIOUSLY AUDIBLE SINCE 2005. We are "Mongo Bread" a blues rock band which started the year 2005.

Through the years a lot of lineup changes were made but the year present the band is made up of FOUR able men:
VOCALS/HARMONICA - Donn Jefferson Atienza
LEAD GUITARS - Ron Manalo
RHYTHM GUITARS - Junjun Calleja
BASS/VOCALS - King "Kimpoy" Cajayon
DRUMS - Lendl "DJ" Arago

".. 'cause you know I'll be here 'til Sunday."

BIPOLAR, one of the songs from Fresh from the Oven album written by our drummer, Singlemiddle Agedman Withonlycat. Recorded in Rambutan Jam, por supuesto, thanks to Sir Jips.

It's been a decade since we last share the studio. Made music, wrote songs, had fun. We remain the same old chaps but added more years under our belts (I mean, our muffin tops). We kind of forgot the lyrics, we forgot the chords, we almost forgot everything.

It is just nice to be with your brothers again, though Donn could not make it earlier, it feels so good to rekindle the light, the memories.

I am hoping to create more with these guys (Kai, DJ, Donny, King) Idk how, but we will still release the darn second album.
- Ron

(Sorry for the muddled lyrics as I've said, we forgot the words)

Ron's nostalgic moments:

Listening to La Bulaqueña of Orange and Lemons gives us a glimpse of the past and also enriches our culture through music. It has been ages since we got to have a new album from the band. ONL will always be an inspiration for Mongo Bread's music

At the height of OPM bands circling the mainstream media around 2005, our junior year in high school, we formed the band with most of the members were from our class and the others were our seniors. We covered songs from heavy to alternative rock genres and we composed our own songs as well. The band joined our first Battle of the Bands, which was sponsored by Jollibee that aims to promote “Strike Whilst the Iron is Hot” with scheduled to perform as well. It was my first time to see popular artists from Manila as Calapan City, Oriental Mindoro was not a hotspot for gigs and all sort of music gathering back then.

I was just a techy back then and when Mongo Bread played “Bamboozle” an original composition by our then bassist Bethuel Vendiola, and I remember Sir Clem Castro commending the song in the backstage, [sic] “Compo nyo yan? Ganda!”. I was star struck of course but I responded confidently [sic], “Salamat sir, lupet nyo din”, something like that. The night was ecstatic, we didn’t win, but we had the chance to witness this great band play great songs.

Thanks to Lilystars Records and Orange and Lemons for bringing the La Bulaqueña to us.

Maraming salamat Max and Mado for the opportunity to play with you guys, at sa Limitless Productions na walang sawang sumusuporta sa mga musikerong Calapeño.

Emo po talaga ang Mongo Bread simula nuong 2007.

So, What Now?

An original composition from Fresh from the Oven album from way back. Missing making music and all the stuff behind it.

This video was taken from the old Mongo Bread yt account, which all of us have forgotten the sign in deets, so no chance to recover it.

Good way to start this month.
