All-female band for your corporate parties

Rhythm ‘n Babes is Aliw Award Foundation’s Best Performer in Hotels, Music Lounges and Bars (Group) for 2006. An all-female band, they started out as Rock and Roll Mamas five years ago. Two years later, and with changes in the members, they became known as Rhythm ’n Babes, a name they considered to befit their spunky, exciting and irrepressible personae. They started performing several times as guests for RJ and Friends and the Rockin’ Revival at Mandarin Oriental Hotel, Dish at Rockwell, EDSA Shangri-la Hotel, and Manila Intercontinental Hotel. They have also staged two very successful anniversary concerts at the Manila Club in Magallanes Village. Later, with further changes in membership, the Babes auditioned at Bykes Café, a popular hang-out of the dancing crowd in the Pasong Tamo, Makati area. Being an all-female rock and roll band is a novelty locally, so Rhythm ‘n Babes was accepted on the spot, even though they were still a little rough around the edges. They played there regularly with other bands, like the Bedroom Boys, Beats and Pieces, the Elderly Brothers, Men in Gold, and John (Lesaca) y Cash and the Jukebox, and only stopped when the place was renovated. Blessed with energy and charisma that transcends age and gender, Rhythm ‘n Babes has recorded a well-received demo CD; wowed patrons of EDSA Shangri-La Hotel, Funnside (in Quezon City), San Mig Alabang and RJ Guitar Bar. They also played at Chef ‘n Brewer (Ortigas Center), which they packed on Saturdays, a heretofore dry day for the watering hole since most of their customers are employees of nearby offices. In addition, they have appeared on the television show RJ Penthouse Live. Moreover, the Babes, as guests of Pres. Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo, provided the dance music for a social affair at the Malacañang Palace. They were the special act at the Calesa Bar of Hyatt Regency Hotel every Friday for several years. In 2005 and 2006, they had the privilege of doing the New Year countdown, but for the latter, it was on a sad note because it also served as the curtain-downer of the hotel, whose contract expired at the end of the year. After Hyatt, they had a heavy schedule playing in private affairs and started playing regularly again this April. They were booked for Thursdays at BG’s Bar and Grille along Pasay Road, where most of those who hang-out are also employees and officers of establishments in the area. They were moved to Saturday, a very lean day for the establishment. Rhythm ‘n Babes is all set to do another Chef ‘n Brewer. The recognition from Aliw Awards served as motivation for them to better their craft. This has been their added inspiration while they continue to amaze guests, whether in private functions or in their regular performances with their spirited versatility, remarkable vocal blending and ability to get the people on their feet to dance to their music.
