Still Alive : Jay Dimalanta

 Still Alive

Joshua "Jay" Dimalanta In Memoriam
Dead Ends/Bass
(Jan 23, 1966 - November 25,1996)

Celebrating the life and work of a great musician, whose works are considered one of the finest, and influential...
-Jay's style of playing made me appreciate more of the instrument, (Bass guitar), and inspired me to pick up the instrument

Jay wrote some of the best intricative, melodic and perhaps one if the most complex bass lines in the local scene ever regardless of genre..

His works are transcending if that is the right term... that captivated not a few budding musicians to not only appreciate the role of a bass player in a band, but influenced shifting to playing the Bass... and i was one of them...
Jay is one of my Biggest Hero.

Jay's musicianship is one of the local music landmark as he helped his Kuya Al Dimalanta write 4 Awesome Albums for seminal Hardcore /Punk band Dead Ends in the 80s and 90s

Other close and dear to him... would have tons of stories can tell of Jay, as a brother, a friend, and a companion... and i can only attentively listen to their recollection and memories of this fine young lad who left us far too soon....

You and your music will always be remembered Jay..
