Basti Artadi, one of the Pinoy rock gods

Last March 19th Wolfgang performed for their fans at the Music Museum once more. I’m so excited for this gig because I have never seen them perform live before. Thanks to Benj (Wolfgang’s number 1 fan boy )  for scoring us front row seats!

The gig started at exactly 9 pm, we’re already inside the Music Museum at around 8 pm. The stage was very simple, no flashy backdrops or video walls. It’s just like a simple bar gig. Razorback, Wolfgang’s co-repertoire in the music scene, performed first. I haven’t seen Kevin Roy for a long, long time. It just sucked when Kevin’s microphone (s) weren’t working and thus distracting the audience. Anyway, after 2 or 3 songs, the mics were ok so they still continued to rock. After a few songs (I think around 5 or more), there was a 2 minute intermission then Wolfgang entered the stage. Read the rest of this entry »

Wolfgang is seriously back in the music scene especially now that they have a major concert with their real life friends in the rock scene, Razorback. The show will be entitled “Wolfgang Tales: Two Sides Live”. Both of the bands will be performing the sound that we’re familiar with however they will also be having an acoustic set.

So be prepared to rock your worlds as the gods of Philippine Heavy Metal will be in one stage again. Again, here are the official details of the concert:

Time: 9:00 PM
Where: Music Museum in Greenhills, San Juan
How to get the tickets: TBA (will update you soon but start saving up for this one! )

Wolfgang hibernated in the local music scene and after 6 years they are now back with a studio album. Their last studio album recorded was “Black Mantra” released last 2001. The band took a break after releasing “Black Mantra”; members of the band separated ways (Basti Artadi went to San Francisco, Wolf Gemora stayed in L.A, Mon Legaspi in Hong Kong and Manuel Legarda just stayed here in Manila). The band is still firm that they never really disbanded, they just “took a break”.

It was unfortunate that I was not able to watch the Black Chistmas Project concert for this album last Dec.10 in Eastwood. Oh well, I will have the chance to see them live anyway this March (watch out for this one!!!). And so, because of my misery of not being there in Eastwood last December, I just resorted on listening to the album. And to my surprise, they can still rock! Well, it’s not the original line-up anymore because Francis Aquino is now their new drummer. According to Wolf, he did not quit the band. He commented on Philmusic.com’s blogpost regarding this album. Here’s what he had to say: Read the rest of this entry »
