Why The Moffatts love PH
“People here are very positive.”
“People here are very positive.”
This is what Bob Moffatt, one of the triplets and a member of The Moffatts, said of the Filipinos during their recent interview in Manila.
He added that Filipinos really embrace their visitors as family which he finds interesting.
“So I get to have a warm feeling every time I get here. I could feel their energy, I could feel the connection,” he related.
Note that after almost two years since their “Farewell Tour” in Manila, the four-piece Canadian poprock group The Moffatts (composed of Canadian brothers Scott and triplets Bob, Dave, and Clint Moffatt) reunited for a one-night-only show in the country over the weekend at New Frontier Theatre.
Before that, they also performed at the Hoops Dome Arena in LapuLapu City, Cebu last Nov. 23.
Clint agreed with Bob, noting that he feels “comfortable” and “relaxed” in the Philippines.
Meanwhile, Dave shared how he enjoys eating a lot of Pinoy food, particularly lechon, adobo, and sisig, to name a few.
“I’m a big fan of Filipino food,” he declared.
Scott, on the other hand, shared they already know some Filipino words like “charot” and “Dyusko, Lord.”
Lucky girl!
In light of their recent performance with Julie Anne San Jose, The Moffatts were asked about collaborating with Filipino musicians.
Bob said they really love how Julie rendered their classic songs “Miss You Like Crazy” and “If Life Is So Short” in a recent episode of “Sunday PinaSaya.”
“It sounded new again,” he explained. “To hear that song from a female perspective brings back memories.”
Recall that the group recently shared a photo of themselves with the Kapuso singer. Later, The Moffatts followed the Instagram account of Julie and Asia’s Pop Sweetheart became part of the 51 people that the band follows among local celebrities like Rachel Peters and Anne Curtis.
One last tour?
What kind of music music do The Moffats like?
According to Bob, he usually listens to a lot of new stuff on radio. Among these are songs of Shawn Mendes and Justin Bieber.
For Scott, he prefers to hear the tracks of rock band AC/DC while Dave listens to whatever song comes on.
“I like all music,” he pointed out. “I mean if I don’t like it, I still listen to it.”
Well, Clint is different as he admitted he doesn’t listen to songs as “we make so much music, produce, write, play the instrument full day just making music.”
“At the end of the day I kinda hate music. I don’t wanna hear it,” he added in jest.
On holding “The Reunion Asia Tour 2018,” Scott said they wanted to come back to at least say goodbye to their fans.
“It’s weird to just take off and not say goodbye properly,” he pointed out.
So, for their upcoming gigs, they said they would just try to let audiences have a lot of fun.
“Bring out lot of songs that we actually never played even back in the days or the fan favorite, or the new single,” they said, adding that they just want to try to make it as intimate as possible.
