69 Filipino songs that rocked my life in 2010s (Part 3)

01/30/2020 08:42:56 PM

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... 

Upcoming: RadioManila 1st Anniversary

08/02/2018 01:54:13 PM

After holding numerous shows every month, RadioManila Productions will turn one year of providing spectacular live rock music shows and they are celebrating the milestone at the famous 70's Bistro in Quezon City.

Upcoming: Teka, Akala Ko Rockshow?

06/05/2018 03:41:59 AM

If you think these rock music-catering prods can't do a different kind of gig, think again, because Red Ninja is doing the somehow or seemingly-unthinkable for the typicals.

Teka, Akala Ko Rockshow?

PlayBack: MilesExperience - Soberhaul (album)

01/21/2018 09:51:04 PM

MilesExperience has probably taken a huige swerve nearly two years since the release of their debut Again & Against, an album that launched their career in the stratosphere.

The Scene Around: saGuijo Presents

09/03/17 11:21:47 AM

It's strange to notice we have two consecutive 'long weekends' staged at the month of August. Well, yes, but it's undeniable that it rolls in our favor because rest... ya know.

While I am supposed to hit down South last August 26, I was offered to partake on a role that I can never (ever!) refuse. Because... why should I?! Is this even a damn valid question?. 

PlayBack: MilesExperience – Sunshine

07/07/2017 04:53:22 PM

It was a ruckus-and-rockin' 2016 for this soul-jazz-blues band known as MilesExperience; from launching two Filipino songs and music videos into their debut album. And the surprises just kept on pouring as MCA Music signed them as part of the flourishing roster of bands from the independent music scene.

And probably we all wonder: what's actually next for Miles Bondoc, Tim Dadivas, Justin Teano, Ian Diaz, and Guido Hizon? Now they are signed and more exposed, where this quintet will go? 

Challenges of making new music are always present, and probably this is just the first of the series of results: walking their happy trail with Sunshine.

The Scene Around: saGujio 13th Anniversary

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.

The Scene Around: Revolver Pop-up Show #2

05/24/2017 07:08:22 AM

It's funny how Cris Ramos and Chuckie Balbuena uses a lot of things like their wrestling fandom to make connections in making music gigs like this. Well, we used to talk a lot of that stuff.

The Scene Around: Get Music Indie-Go

06/05/2017 06:45:36 AM

It was a blockbuster Saturday evening wherein events are like “here, there, and everywhere”; making the nightlife and music scene alive and vibrant after a while (Who says our local music died in the first place?!). 

And amidst the controversial surrounding the word usage and ticket prices during their preparation phase, MCA Music was still able to stage the event called Get Music Indie-Go at the Mall of Asia arena. Yes, despite the delay of time schedule, lack of needed hype, and watching attendance spanning around hundreds of people.

Upcoming: saGuijo 13th Anniversary

05/26/2017 10:30:03 PM

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: Never Me

05/06/2017 11:01:14 PM

Move Forward Productions staged a post-Valentines party that highlighted a comeback of one of the bands which could be the the resemblances or equivalent of the term 'emo' in the past. And we don't really mean black and punk-ish, by the way.

PlayBack: MilesExperience - Anggulo (Music Video)

03/21/2017 10:29:12 PM

Every single time I have seen Jiggy Gregorio's music videos with either MilesExperience or Tanya Markova, he has this certain technique that has something to do with utilization of other songs, which can be right in certain ways as long as it relates to the project.

Marching Blockbusters Ready For Take Off!

03/02/2017 06:19:26 AM

The first weekend of March 2017 seems very interesting for the local music scene, as for three days there will be series of launches for new singles, videos, and albums. That's aside from having a music festival, an album bar tour, and some sets of heavyweight gigs during these upcoming times. In the great words of my senior friends Mr. Cris O. Ramos, it's tanking season as if the NBA Playoffs, the ongoing PBA Finals, and WrestleMania season approaches by the same way as the country has been on transition from the cold season to summer.

The Scene Around: Raccoon Turns 1: Part 1

01/12/2017 09:40:21 PM

Racc/oon productions kicked off their anniversary with the first stop of their month-long celebration, and it is for a good cause and fun.

The Scene Around: Erotika Night 3

10/06/2016 08:12:26 PM

I was running bit late from the horrendous traffic from Mandaluyong all the way at Makati to catch up with We Are The Underdogs as they slate their third edition of a barely-mature evening full of sexy tunes (and musicians too), and medyo R-18 everything in between (that includes green tito jokes).

The Scene Around: Autotelic "Papunta Pabalik" Album Launch

10/06/2016 03:07:26 PM

Almost two years ago, when I first hear them live in a gig at Route 196, I already had made a prophecy in mind. This band will be the next big thing in the pop music scene soon. (At least, if not right now.)

And with a music market and an anniversary gig happening around Makati City, these dudes will ne the standout for the evening. And why not? It's true enough.

It was a night to remember last Saturday at B-Side at The Collective as MCA Music presents the Autotelic's Papunta Pabalik album launch.

The Scene Around: Docdef Re:Fresh

09/15/2016 05:04:58 PM 

Well, it's been a very long while since the last time I stormed by the prod group that have taken me in this place at the music scene. Like seriously, it was almost two months since the last time I worked for a Docdef Productions gig, and that was during the EP launch of Banna Harbera titled Persistence. 

Upcoming: Nagma[ma]hal Pa Rin, BennyBunnyBand

09/07/16 02:03:41 PM

Maraming mga magagandang kaganapan sa kalakhang Maynila sa darating na Biyernes. Kung fan ka ng wrestking, may Manila tour ang paborito mong World Wrestling Federation, sakto sa tatlong buwan na hype ang mga naganap sa kabila ng mga maramihang pagbabago sa WWE mismo, mula sa pag-split ng mga brand program hanggang sa pagpili ng roster, hanggang sa mga samu't saring suspensyon na may kinalaman sa kanilang polisiya ukol sa kalusugan.

Pero kung hindi ka naman fan ng scripted na sport para sa isang antigong pang-aliw na palabas, may mga gig naman sa mga paborito mong bar sa Metro Manila.

Pero kung ako sa'yo? May isang magandang gig na magaganap sa saGuijo. At mangyayari ito sa gabi na rin na iyon ng Biyernes a-9 ng Setyembre, taong 2016. 

The Scene Around: Wet Fest 2

08/19/2016 12:30:46 AM
