The Scene Around: Now & Then - The Orange & Lemons 25th Anniversary

Before we discuss how monumental this event became for the band and everyone who witnessed their silver jubilee moment, let's take a short look at some of the events in their recent era.

Around late September of 2017, pop-rock band Orange & Lemons made shocking waves through a surprise set at The Smiths Night at Mow's bar in Quezon City. Shortly after, their official reunion announcement became a massive resounding news story, considering they were gone for a decade – specifically, at the height of their ultimate peak of success as a band.

Nearly two months later, I saw the newly-reformed trio live at a gig at an Offshore Music gig staged in Route 196 – with Ely Buendia jamming with them on stage for 'This Charming Man.' 

Then, in August 2018, they mounted the Moonlane Festival with Gabi Na Naman Productions at Century City Mall in Makati City. That rainy Saturday evening didn't stop fans from the stormy star-studded lineup that includes O&L, along with other bands like Pupil, <s>andwich, Ithcyworms, Join The Club, We Are Imaginary, and Autotelic, among others. It was also one of the big shows I've worked on as one of the production staff.

Then came the first press event I attended for them in May 2019 as the Bulacan-based act launched 'Pag-Ibig Sa Tabing-Dagat,' their first single off their budding all-Filipino album La Bulaquena which was eventually launched three years later. 

Amid trips of the love van, which was supported by many and, at one time, marred by a viral controversy, Orange & Lemons soldiered on for the ride and thus, made it to their Silver Anniversary through a one-of-a-kind concert titled Now & Then.

PlayBack: Orange & Lemons – La Bulaqueña

It's been one and half decades – or between the years 2007 and 2022 – since we haven't heard a new album from the Bulacan-based pop band Orange & Lemons (well, aside from the re-recorded first record before). We all know the long news about the disastrous break-up amidst their skyrocketed popularity before, right? Some of us were probably kids back then. This would probably sound better if I wrote such thing last year, no?

It was in September 2017 when Orange & Lemons shocked the country by returning to the Philippine music scene in such improbable fashion. It was a resurgence that came out of nowhere – or right after re-tuning their tunes from the pop band's debut album Love In The Land Of Dirty Shoes and Ice Cream.
