OY! by Lynx

Lynx is a genus of wild cats and there are four species that belong to this genus. Lynx is also the name of an up and coming rock band here in the Philippines. Their first music video, titled "Oy!", has already been shown on a local music channel, Myx, on their show, RockMyx. This metal song sends out a socio-political awareness to those who watch it.

I had an unplanned chit chat with one of its members. It happened on one of my rounds on my day job. It so happened that the sales manager of one of the establishments that I regularly check is one of the founding members of the band. He is Jesus 'Jess' Sacilioc.

Mr. Sacilioc said that the band goes way back around twenty years ago, thus, having a classic AC/DC feel to its sound. Right now, he no longer plays but he manages the band instead. Back in the day, he used to play the bass guitar. The band members have changed over the years but the name of the band stayed the same.

Their music video came to fruition when all the band members (current and former) had a reunion. Some of the former members are already professionals in the field of music and media. Making a music video came naturally.

I asked him about the band name. He said that since the lynx was a wild cat and the band had a somewhat wild sound, they named the band Lynx.

Here is their music video, Oy!. Remember. You saw the video first on Myx. Not on my blog. Well. Probably some of you will see it here first.
