Wang Chung and Naked Eyes will be having their first concert in the country
entitled Back 2 Back Throwback on
December 5, 2013 (Thursday) 7pm at the Grand Ballroom of Solaire Resort and
Casino for the benefit of the recent super typhoon victims thru Oplan Damayan Yolanda and for the kids
of Gabay sa Landas Foundation.
Naked Eyes a British New Wave band that rose to prominence in the early 1980s
and was originally formed by two friends from Bath, England; Pete Bryne on vocals and Rob Fisher on keyboard. The duo is
knownlargely for its four Top 40
singles. First, a cover of the Burt Bacharach/Hal David standard "(There's)Always
Something There to Remind Me"(Bacharach himself has cited the cover as
his personal favorite).The band had subsequent hits with their own
compositions, "Promises,
Promises" (the 12” mix which features vocals from Madonna), "When the Lights Go Out" and "(What) In the Name of Love”and a
lot more.
Wang Chung is an English New Wave musical group formed in 1980. The name Wang Chung means "yellow bell" in Mandarin, and is the first note in the Chinese classical music scale. The duo
is composed of Jack Hues(vocalist/guitarist)
and Nick Feldman (bassist).The group
found their greatest success in the United States, with five Top 40 hits in the US, all charting between 1983 and 1987, including
"Dance Hall Days"(No. 16
In the summer of 1984), "Everybody
Have Fun Tonight" (No. 2 in 1986),"Let's
Go!"(No.9 in 1987) and another hit that made waves here in our
country, “Hypnotize Me”.
The
crowd will also enjoy good music from the Master,
DJ Jon Tupaz, who’ll resurrect 80’s retro hits and will get everyone on the
dance floor as he brings back the good old days. Proceeds of the event will be
given to the street kids as well as to the victims of the recent super typhoon
thru Oplan Damayan Yolanda. Gabay sa Landas Foundation aims to help
and rebuild the lives of abandoned and street kids by teaching them the Christian core values. Oplan Damayan is JCI Senate Manila’s disaster and relief operations program to help
flood and storm victims.
As
a new generation of much younger JCI Senators took the helm of the organization
in the second decade of the millennium, the Manila Jaycee Senate leadership poised
to rejuvenate a JCI Senate chapter which has seen better days. It changed its
official name to JCI Senate Manila, in conformance to the Junior Chamber
International’s global branding standards. It actively led in the JCI Senate
leg of the 60th JCI Asia-Pacific Conference held in Manila in 2011
and hosted two major fellowships that saw more than 200 JCI Senators and
Members demonstrating a solid camaraderie under a common bond that transcends
four generations of JCI members.
Indeed,
for more than three decades, JCI Senate Manila has taken the lead beyond being
a mere social club. It has transformed into a strong organization which has
been adjudged the “Most Outstanding JCI Senate Chapter in the Philippines” and
its succession of Senate Presidents, as the “Most Outstanding JCI Senate
Chapter President in the Philippines.” Under the direction of a slew of
competent leaders, JCI Senate Manila will continue to be remembered for its
contribution of distinguished vanguards as they grace the pages of Philippine
history and society.
