It's a shame that it took me two months to finish this personal project. I initially had this in mind since late November and worked on the draft by mid-December. Anyway, here it goes...

07/07/2017 02:04:18 AM

It was the mid-May when Carousel Casualties launched their EP titled Madison wherein close to a hundred people – young and not-so-young – were be able to witness the madness in unison brught by the indie rock quartet of Emmie Villegas, Pau Villanueva, Jot Nicanor, and Xavier Lucente.

06/08/17 01:48:00 PM

It was a rainy Saturday night to remember in the latter part of May as one of the metropolitan's best live music venues celebrated their 13 years of existence, and it was red hot as devilish fuck.

One of the metro's hottest live music venue turns lucky 13, and they are promising to deliver a Saturday night party that is HELLuva good.

The Scene Around: Raccoon Turns 1 Part 2

Four months ago, Racc/oon Productions celebrated their first year of existence in the indie music scene with a three-gig series, and its second leg was staged on a underground bar located just at the basement floor of Kowloon House in Quezon City.

PlayBack: Cheats - Drunk

Indie pop rock Cheats released their new music video, and it delivered very well.

PlayBack: CHEATS - Summer

3/13/2016 7:27:40 PM

At the turn of the year, they formally launched their latest single. And just a few days later, the visual counterpart also made it.

And what’s not to love CHEATS and their latest single titled Summer?

The Scene Around: Roaches to Texas Send-off Gig

3/27/2016 11:18:10 AM

They have made noise around the independent music scene. They were considered as one of the perennial punk rockers of this country. And just this past month, they made waves around the world for being part of the 2016 South by Southwest Festival held at Austin, Texas.

And that ain’t an April Fools Joke. They literally made it to the Western Hemisphere. For real!

The Scene Around: Kaleidoscope

12/27/2015 11:45:49 PM

Barely three months ago, after watching Heneral Luna at a mall in Manila, I decided to jump to another coast after seeing a poster containing some of my favorite bands in one night: Jensen and the Flips, The Ransom Collective, Cheats and even Anj Florendo. The event was situated at Mow’s bar, just at the basement of the famed Kowloon House branch at Matalino Street, Quezon City.

The Scene Around: The Rest is Noise Yearend

12/20/2015 4:26:48 AM

Well, after hitting the EP launch of Mind Money Circuit, yours truly hit up Route 196 (well, for the second time, actually) that evening for another heavyweight night from Vandals on the Wall.

The Scene Around: Oh, Flamingo! EP Launch

1/10/2016 3:08:31 PM

Perhaps one of the bands who emerged the most this 2015, Oh Flamingo arrived in the nick of time to release their EP last 14 November 2015 at the full-house Route 196 in Quezon City. Yes, just days after they released their new single Two Feet on Jam 88.3 and two weeks before winning the Wanderband contest; thus, being the top Philipine band to perform at the Wanderland festival this coming year!

Playback: CHEATS (ALBUM)

1/10/2016 2:02:06 PM

Long before I get acquainted into their music. All I then-knew was CHEATS was one of the reasons why the Philippine music here in the country was very much alive. And I’m not talking about how wild their usual sets are. Also, forget the stereotyping of mainstream and underground thingamajigs.

Last July, they formally launched their self-titled album at SaGuijo. And fair enough, nearly half of their released singles became part of the record. 

The Scene Around: WOWOWOWS SANTA KLAUS

12/27/2015 4:57:24 AM

I remember: going to SaGuijo with barely less than 30 minutes before the show rolls, a taxi wanted to make a one-time flag down fare going there, and it was priced 400 pesos. I kindly refused, though on my mind utters such harsh words: Hey, I don't even spend 200 whenever I go from here to Ayala. Lakas mong manlamang ha?

But anyway, I got a more friendly (and a fair-pricey) one going there at Makati for this heck-of-a-gig-slash-Christmas Party,

Play 4 Serve and Locked Down Entertainment’s Group Study had its one last run for 2015, and it’s not a school tour this time around as SaGuijo was the place for be on that evening of Saturday, 26 December 2015. And it’s called WOWOWOWS SANTA KLAUS.

The Scene Around: The Rest is Noise 6

10/3/2015 1:19:35 PM

After five installments, Vandals on the Wall had done it again, and perhaps the series rolls on as they slated the sixth part of their gig series popularly known as The Rest is Noise. (Yes, and also just before TRIN 7 and 8 this month!)
