The Bloomfields is a Filipino band heavily influenced by 1960s music and is currently composed of Rocky Collado, Lakan Hila, Louie Poco, and Nathan Abella. They first gained prominence in their alma mater La Salle Greenhills in 2002 and went mainstream in 2005. The band is famous for their hit songs Wala Nang Iba and their rendition of Ale and Babaero.[1] The band is also known for all of its members adept at doing vocals.[2]
Founding members and brothers Jayjay Lozano and Pepe Lozano left the band some time in 2009 due to creative differences and formed their own bands called The Bloom Brothers and The Band of Brothers (later shortened to TBB). The Bloomfields and the Lozanos have since then been in good terms two years after the Lozanos departed. Other notable member was Dino Pascual who left the band in 2021 to pursue personal endeavors.[3]
