This "pfunky" collaboration is a volatile combination of Manila's more notorious and notable groovers and shakers; arguably some of the most superfluous and flamboyant rockers in the local underground music scene. Their incendiary mix of soulful vocals, unapologetic blues riffs, and infectious bass lines over the decisive rhythm of the beat result in a fiery blend of intellectually complex, yet ineffable primal sonic excursion that snatches you in mid-air and abruptly drops you in the middle of the groove.

Brothers of the GetDown:
Tino Valentino - babble
Anjones Elemos - bends
Alien Umali - boom
featuring their funk buddy (casual sets): Bea Lao - babe

Roger Alcantara - Bass Player

Bands: Ebe Dancel, Mindscapes, Wickermoss, Eternal Now, Barbie Almalbis (sessions)

Gear: Elegee Mister Nobody Signature 5, Elegee Mister Nobody Signature Fretless 5, Ibanez Soundgear Fretless 4, MONO

Roger Alcantara took up Communication Arts (specializing in photography) at the De La Salle University. This is where he met Pepe Manikan and together with Chad Robles and Loubert Vidal eventually formed the progressive metal band Eternal Now.

Roger (known for wearing masks in gigs as a gimmick, thus the Mister Nobody alyas) started playing bass during his 2nd year in high school. His mentor was Berklee College of Music Scholar and Standard Pleasure Model bassist Louis Andre Ochoa. Since then he has played with Lemon Tears and the Sourgrapes (fronted by Moonstar 88’s May Chelle Baay), Wickermoss, and of course Eternal Now. In 2006 Roger became the first Filipino endorser of Aria bass guitars. He has conducted bass clinics to promote the brand and to propagate awareness and interest about the bass and to inform the masses about its limitless potential. He currently endorses Elegee Custom Basses.

Early 2010, Roger also became a session bassist for Barbie Almalbis (alternating with Karel Honasan).

June of 2011, Roger recorded bass tracks for Ebe Dancel’s debut solo album "Dalawang Mukha Ng Pag-Ibig" (under Warner Music Philippines). He is now the touring bassist of Ebe.

He is also 1/2 of Mindscapes --- the acoustic new age duo he formed with Rigil Borromeo.

Besides being the bassist of Ebe Dancel, Mindscapes, Eternal Now, Wickermoss, & Barbie Almalbis, he is also a session musician who has played with Rico Blanco, Noel Cabangon, Johnoy Danao, Bullet Dumas and has recorded for Nicole Asensio, Sarah Caballero, and others.

Some things need to be explosive and unexpected.

Better to burnout than fade away... someone said that.
