What started as casual jamming sessions among four secondary school friends ended up in the formation a band, Bunkface. Three years on and they're now widely known as a rising star in the local music scene. Although the band was formed in 2005, it was only in late 2006 when they caught the attention of the public through their participation in the hit TV show Blastoff. The year 2006 proved to be an exciting one for Bunkface. One of the highlights of their experience as fresh young musicians happened in March 2006 when Bunkface won first place for the Battle of the Bands competition in UNISEL organized by ROTTW. Winning the competition opened a door for Bunkface to be featured in a magazine for the very first time. Another sweet success came later that year when Bunkface snatched first place for the Battle of the Bands competition in Universiti Malaya. With that accomplishment, Demoplanet.tv approached Bunkface and offered to sponsor a video clip for the song Hyper Killer. After garnering a truckload of new experiences, Bunkface began writing more and more new songs. In December 2007, Bunkface released their first EP titled “Lesson of the Season” featuring 6 English tracks with a taste of pop-punk and alternative rock. Fast forward to the present, Bunkface have been featured in ROTTW and interviewed on air numerous times on XFresh FM and Fly FM. They were also interviewed and featured on Era Sentral and The Wknd Sessions. Their first hit song Silly Lily was number 1 on Hitz.fm’s Malaysian Top Ten for 8 weeks and number 1 on Fly.fm’s Campur Chart for 10 weeks. Bunkface’s current hit and first Malay single Situasi has stormed to number 1 on XFresh FM and steadily stayed at number 3 on Era FM for 3 weeks. The band has performed at high school proms, charity events, product launchings, dinner galas, and gigs covering venues all around the Klang Valley, Malacca, Perak, Penang, Johor, Sarawak and Singapore. Bunkface was the opening band for Fly FM 3rd Anniversary showcase, and their very first large scale gig proved to be a success. It is no wonder that their catchy tunes coupled with their addictively energetic and fun filled performances have captured the attention of the masses and event organizers alike!

THe COMMunITY
THe COMMunITY
JabbaWockeeZ is an all-male hip hop crew from San Diego who won the first season of the reality dance competition America's Best Dance Crew. Since winning, the group has gained greater exposure by appearing in various music videos and commercials, touring internationally, and performing with Shaquille O' Neal at the 2009 NBA All-Star Game. They are known for wearing plain white masks and gloves in order to encourage audiences to focus on their movements as a group instead of on individual dancers. Their name is derived from the Lewis Carroll poem "Jabberwocky."
Before ABDC
The earliest origins of the group began in the San Francisco Bay Area in the early 1990s, where founding members Gary "Gee One" Kendall and Randy "DJ Wish One" Bernal were both members of the MindTricks dance crew. Sacramento natives Phil "Swaggerboy" Tayag, Kevin "KB" Brewer, and Joe "Emajoenation" Larot also joined the MindTricks crew together. Tayag, Brewer, and Larot all later moved to the San Diego area, but thanks to Gary Kendall's travelling schedule as a performer and dance instructor, the three maintained their connections to the MindTricks group. Phil, Kevin, and Joe began performing while wearing white masks and gloves as a trio called "Three Musky." The mask and glove motif was adopted as a tribute to the 1970s San Francisco strutting crew Media Sirkas.
What began as an effort to start a Southern California chapter of the MindTricks crew later evolved into JabbaWockeeZ. The name "JabbaWockeeZ", coined by Joe Larot, was inspired by the fantastical monster from the Lewis Carroll nonsense poem. The white masks and gloves from Phil, Kevin, and Joe's performances as Three Musky were adopted as the visual signature of the group. In San Diego, through Gary's connections, the JabbaWockeeZ added b-boys Rynan "Kid Rainen" Paguio and Chris "Cristyle" Gatdula to the group. The original seven-member iteration of JabbaWockeeZ began performing as a group in 2003. This lineup consisted of Gary, Randy, Phil, Kevin, Joe, Rainen, and Chris.
CHUNG AKA ’B-TEK’, 26 - MISSION HILLS, CA Who is your favorite fellow ’Dance Crew’ member and why? My whole crew is nasty. Each member brings a unique flavor to the table without it our body would be incomplete. CHRIS GATDULA, 26 - LAS VEGAS, NV What is a source of inspiration for your dancing career? My source of inspiration is to not fall behind my crew. So I’m just trying to keep up with them. And I also want to make sure I’m on top of my game cause there’s a lot of dangers coming up and I ain’t trying to get smoked. KEVIN BREWER, 31 - SACRAMENTO, CA Is there anything that we should know? I like to inspire and to be inspired. Connecting with people is something I enjoy also, because life is fleeting, we should build each other up and fellowship and enjoy one another. I like Mexican food too. RYNAN SHAWN PAGUIO, 26 - MURRIETA, CA Is there anything else that we should know? I just got married in Nov. 24, 2007. I am a sexy guy when you close your eyes! I’m Filipino. I need to pay my bills. I love hip hop. JEFF NGUYEN AKA ’PHI’, 26 - PHOENIX, AZ Is there anything that we should know? I like Vietnamese Pho! I’m a Virgo and like long walks on the beach! I’m single and ready to mingle! If you’d like, you can call me at 1-800-vietnamese tease! PHIL TAYAG, 23 - SACRAMENTO, CA Do you have a job? If so, what do you do to pay the bills? I dance, I hustle to pay bills.
