Oblivion Forever

1994 - The band was formed. Several names were considered including Juniper Jellies, Daddy's Home and Led's suggestion - Unconditional Wisdom, but no way on earth we'll gonna use that one.

March 1995 - Marlboro band was formed, jammed for the first time at a band rehearsal studio at Camp Crame. Henry Ubico and Darwin Sales handled the guitars, I'm on bass, Marlon Hipolito on drums. Vocals? Everyone's excited so all of us. We also had our first groupie - Scottie Acosta.

June - September 1995 - Marlboro was a one-time stint, we went seperate ways. I veddered and ozzied with Poch and Allen in Loadstone. Henry formed Skull Intro Boys with Audie and Dimebag Yanga. Darwin went on to praise E. Buendia and Marlon went to Agora Market on AMs and Gale on PMs.

January 1996 - Henry, Darwin and Marlon reunited to form Oblivion. They were joined by Aaron Mondonedo. Henry was now hitting Green Day's Basketcase, except for that mid-chorus thumps. Darwin still on guitars, feeling his Wolf Gemora touch. Marlon says he's Billy Joe while Aaron practices his Laklak bassline.

I, on the other hand, joined Hilamos Boys whose ritual was to wash our faces from time to time then tambay in front of Domincan's main gate.

My Cobain songwriting meets Barry Manilow.

I was kicked out of Loadstone. Brex de la Cruz took over.

July 1996 - I rejoined Oblivion replacing Marlon on vocals. Studio Musica became our jamming pad. Aaron was now hitting Candlebox. Darwin, still with dead strings on solos. Henry just mastered Laklak's drum rolls. Marlon? Jumping over the cementery walls.

January 1997 - We found a new pad at Havit Sta. Ana. Jammed for the Battle of the Bands but backed out hours before the event. Loadstone won.
February 1997 - Wrote One.

March 1997 - Last time we saw Allen. He died last year of a car accident in Pangasinan. Last time we saw Led before seeing him with Kamikazee throwing spartans on TV. Marlon disappeared after his birthday treat promise.

April 1998 - Reunion jamming at Havit's. Played impromptu originals - Magulo and Mcdo. Our last gig together.
