Electrico is a Singaporean band that I have been dying to own a CD of. Because they’re based in Singapore, I can’t get a copy of their album here in Manila. I believe there were only a few copies that were sold in record stores then. Even though Electrico already went here in Manila in 2008 and 2009, we never got the chance to see their live gigs here in Manila because of various reasons. We. are. such. losers. Huhu. Electrico’s sound is pop rock. They somewhat remind me of Coldplay and Rivermaya (when Rico Blanco was there there). Also, they’re one of the most popular bands in Singapore. Some say that they define “Singa – Rock” (Singaporean Rock). Read the rest of this entry »
ETO NA ANG PINAKAHIHINTAY NATING MGA ERASERHEADS FANS! I cannot explain how I feel right now but I am super f*cking happy that I’ve actually held the Eraserheads Boxed Set! Karla and I rushed to Juned’s house earlier at 10 pm just to personally see the the entire Eraserheads The Heads Set (the official title). Apparently, Greenwich had an event earlier and raffled off some of these (I think it’s 5) to the press and bloggers. Our good friend, Juned, was one of the lucky winners of this and Karla and I didn’t think twice to invade his house at this hour. Hindi kami fanatic no? Read the rest of this entry »
I grew up with the 90′s music scene and one of my favorite bands during this era was Gin Blossoms. I bet you’ve already heard the news that they’ll be coming to Manila and Cebu but all I can say is… wahhh!!!!! I wanna watch! They’ll be performing at the Waterfront Hotel and Casino in Cebu on November 19 and will be at the Araneta Coliseum in Manila on November 20. How I wish I can watch. I wonder how much the tickets will be? No details on the price of the tickets but definitely will update this blog post when I get to know how much it’ll be. Read the rest of this entry »

A few weeks ago, I was at the Globe Flagship Store Launch at the Ayala Museum. This was the official launch of Globe’s renovated store in Greenbelt 4, with a more customer-friendly atmosphere. Glad to see fellow bloggers there but I got more excited to see Taken By Cars, which to my surprise, was the band who will be performing during the event. Only Karla and I were glued to this band while everybody was busy with their own thing. Well, I just said to myself, this isn’t Saguijo.

Greyhoundz and Slapshock are known to perform hard metal music but this time, they toned down their amps for the Splintr Unplugged gig held last night at the Teatrino, Promenade Mall Greenhills. This is actually the 2nd part of Splintr Unplugged, last week it was Sino Sikat? and Typecast. I heard they were awesome as well but I was after the hard metal bands to perform unplugged.

Clubbing seems to be the new term for disco or rave partying for this generation. I think I was part of the rave party generation but never really got the hang of it. It was only recently when I learned about the new term called “Clubbing”. It was only recently when I first went to Encore Super Club (formerly called Embassy) for the media launch of the San Mig Light Party All Night which will happen on June 25 – 26 (6 pm – 6 am) at the SMX Convention Centre. You might be surprised seeing this article here but don’t get me wrong, a band enthusiast like me can still appreciate other genres. :p Read the rest of this entry »

Two real life friends, Ely Buendia and Francis M., were once struggling each of their personal battles and showed to the whole world that their diseases/illnesses will not hinder their passion to make music. Clearly, the collaboration of musical talents of these two individuals created good music together. Even though Francis M. is not here anymore to hear the full album, his legacy lives on as one of the most talented artists in the Filipino music industry. Read the rest of this entry »
