The Dawn - iisang bangka (SMB's theme song before)
Dubbed as "The Cure of Southeast Asia" "The U2 of the Malayan Race" "The Rolling Stones of the Philippines".
The Dawn originated as a nameless trio in the mid-'80s with guitarist Teddy Diaz, Junboy Leonor (drums), and Clay Luna (bass). At first, Diaz was the group's singer. The band then unsuccessfully tried looking for a female vocalist. They met Jett Pangan while he was pretending to help a girl audition for the group. After hearing Pangan sing, the band hired him to be their vocalist. When Luna moved to the U.S., he was replaced by Carlos "Caloy" Balcells. In 1986, the group called themselves the Dawn, named after a portrait of the Holy Spirit that symbolized the dawn of a new life. With "Enveloped Ideas," the Dawn became underground superstars, a vibrant new wave act in a country then dominated by easy listening artists.
present line-up:
Jett Pangan (Lead vocals & Pioneering member)
JB Leonor (drums & Pioneering member)
Francis Reyes (lead guitar) joined the group in the late 1980s, from his former band, AfterImage.
