The term 'Jeprox' was coined by the late Anak Bayan drummer and Pinoy Rock icon Edmond Fortuno? 'Jeprox' was a term used in the 1970's to describe male rockers who sported long hair and lived the rock n' roll lifestyle. It actually started as a shortened version of the phrase, "Jeepney Rock", which in itself described the classic and hard rock music that was being played inside local jeepneys at the time.

"‎Mark Cole's BBC show tagged them (Up Dharma Down) as the Asian band to most likely cross over to North American shores... Their eclectic music gave them the leverage to stand above most local bands in the Philippines, enough to be featured in the July 2007 issue of Time Magazine." -

Rivermaya is an influential Filipino rock band founded in 1993. Their musical direction has evolved through standard rock, hard rock, pop, progressive, and other genres. They are the second biggest-selling artists in the Philippines.

Early years

The first line-up consisted of Jesse Gonzales on vocals, Kenneth Ilagan on guitars, Nathan Azarcon on bass, Rome Velayo on drums, and Rico Blanco on keyboards. They were managed by Lizza Nakpil and director Chito Roño who had the intention of molding the group into a rock show band. The band was then called Xaga.

Classic line-up and mainstream success

In the process of grueling practice sessions, Ilagan was replaced with Perfecto de Castro; Azarcon's childhood friend, Mark Escueta, to replace Velayo, as well as former classmate Francisco "Bamboo" Mañalac to replace Gonzales. With Bamboo as frontman, the band members themselves decided to disband Xaga and form the band Rivermaya. They started putting together original songs like "Ulan" , "214", and "Awit ng Kabataan" (mostly composed by Rico Blanco) in demo form for prospective recording companies.

Happy Birthday sa aking 1st bandmate ko, at sa bespren ko mula 2nd year highschool, Mr.Gabriel Chee Kee!!!

Nung highschool kami, pareho kaming walang pera...pero paminsan-minsan, nakakadiskarte si Gab ng P100 mula sa parents nya.

Ang gagawin nya, isasama nya ako sa Robinson's Galeria.

P20 ang pamasahe namin papunta mula Teacher's Village, at ganun din pabalik.

Yung P60, ibibili namin lahat yun ng tokens. P3 lang isang token nun, so tig-10 kami...tapos uubusin namin lahat yun sa Street Fighter.

Kung sino ang manalo sa 1st round, kelangan magpatalo sa 2nd round bilang "mercy round" (para masulit namin yung tokens), tapos laban na lang ulit sa 3rd.

Haaay...sobrang saya talaga ng mga ala-ala nung highschool.

Walang iwanan sa Parokya Band, sa Parokya ni Edgar.

It was 1972 and the band was about to go onstage for a concert at Rizal Park. Smith had the urge to sit down somewhere and write a song. He recalled in a 2008 interview with The STAR: “Sa ladies’ room ako pumunta para isulat ‘yung Himig Natin kasi out-of-order ’yung men’s room eh. Ayoko maistorbo.”
