LIVEWYRE

Suave and sweet offstage, onstage they will make you swing to the music. Livewyre is considered one of the best party bands in the local music scene. Young and dynamic, Livewyre keeps the party alive with their signature harmonies and magnetic onstage performance. Honed through constant practice and camaraderie, Livewyre’s sound has become refined and crisp, an intoxicating tempo to groove to.

Livewyre is on the very short list of successful local all-male party bands, which is contrast to most show or party bands that include a female vocalist, even three, at most. And they’re not brazen amateurs: Frontman Mike Catubay has been singing since he was ten, as a member of Bazoorah (Arabic for “Kids.”), a local singing group. He sings in the college choir and has joined numerous singing competitions. Saxman Jay Bonocan has been playing the saxophone for twelve years now.

He’s been in love with the saxophone’s rapturous melodies since he could remember, and even finished a degree in Music from Siliman. Aljun, together with Jay, is a former member of Stages, while Ryann, Mike, Donald and Richie used to be part of another band called The Trend.

Together, they perform the best of the 80s, retro and R&B music with covers from their favorite artists like Side-A, Toto, Chicago, South Border, Spyro Gyro, Dire Straits, Sting and The Ripping Tones with an irresistible groove and sound that will keep you dancing into the night.
