THE 14th NU107 ROCK AWARDS

NU107 was a vital radio station back in the 80s and still rockin' MANILA's airwaves at the present time. It brought back NEW WAVE format on MANILA months after WXB102 went off the air. It also inspired POWER105 DZBM to bring back their NEW WAVE format which was removed on mid-86. NU107 is also very influencial in promoting and supporting the PINOY ROCK scene from the 80s,90s, 2000 and beyond.

The NU107 ROCK AWARDS started wayback 1994 when the PINOY ALTERNATIVE ROCK scene was very much alive. I remembered watching the first Rock Awards on T.V. and Legendary Pinoy Rock Icons performed LIVE! "LAKLAK" by TEETH was the "SONG OF THE YEAR". ERASERHEADS Pinoy Alternative Catalytic Album "ULTRA ELECTROMAGNETIC POP" became the "ALBUM OF THE YEAR". I was able to get two different original NU107 ROCK AWARDS CDs given to me by NU107 jocks back then which I will post in this blog in the future.

The 14th NU107 ROCK AWARDS was held last week NOVEMBER 30,2007 at The World Trade Center in Pasay City. This 2007 Rock Awards is as star-studded as it was from the previous Rock Awards. Performances from PINOY ROCK bands like BAMBOO, HILERA, TROPICAL DEPRESSION and many more made the event really awesome.
