Monster RX 93.1 is giving the country's
music scene a much even stronger exposure courtesy of Indie Ground, a
music program that gives several bands from the indies a chance to be
heard in the metro-wide radio.
And that being said, Monster Indie
Ground staged three bar tours during their anniversary month (August
2016). Yours truly managed to storm by Black Kings Bar at West
Triangle in Quezon City for the second leg of the event.
Already made to the venue past 10PM, I
quite missed a bunch of musicians that include BP Valenzela; but the
night's still considered early as more bands were still scheduled to
play then – including my new favorites Runway Hits.
Alvin, Cara, and Schneider hosted the
Indie Ground's Bar Tour #2. And She's Only Sixteen was about to play
right there.
Oh, Flamingo!, Runway Hits, and Jensen
and The Flips were also part of the lineup; with the latter going in
a very rare acoustic setup to end the night in a bit chilling manner.
I must say Runway Hits were one of the reasons why this night was
packed; maybe because this band was one of the notable ones both in
the radio and in social media. (That's aside from Rob and The
Hitmen.)
There were also new ones for me to dig
there: Filter Keen and Moonlit Storytellers. I'm just not sure if
these two amassed massive following – as similar to the young RH
(or even higher). But that give me reasons to stay up during their
set and just listen.
Plus on a personal level, this is
actually the time I encountered Patricia, Agnes, Michelle, Gab and
Kit. It's been like four months since the last time I heard in a gig
(Banna Harbera's Persistence EP, to be exact), and if not for a
commitment during an event at The Collective, I could've stay up and
approach them up-close.
But anyway, it already happened.
