Marikina City, the Beasts of Live Music in the East

06/26/2023 12:10:02 PM

Since the resumption of the world back into normalcy, the events industry has experienced a sort of resurgence – or a rebirth, if some may say. Although, unfortunately, some of our favorite places have closed shop for us live music lovers, 2022 (or even as early as late 2021) saw an opening for some venues around the Metro.

Before the sudden shutdown, Novaliches slowly made their way for all the music and merry making the Northern people badly craved. Pasig and even Taytay in Rizal province also joined the budding trend of staging music halls. And no, this isn't biased because I was a Marikina resident since birth.

The year 2022, though, saw the emergence of Marikina City in setting up its network of places that would cater to those who clamor for live music.

'17 Nights To Remember (Part 2)

01/21/2018 07:25:38 PM

Regardless of how fiery it has been on all cylinders, it's undeniable that the year 2017 has been a wonderful year. Right in the midst of the mid-2010s band explosion, we have seen it brought a lot of good shits in our Philippine world of music (and we mean quality here, by the way).

These also include some of the biggest concerts and music festivals that has solely focused on out homegrown talents. That said, here are 17 nights that really left a mark in '17... well, at least for me.

Indi(e) Deserved Ang Price?!

03/18/2017 01:40:48 PM

Sa mga nangyari nitong nakalipas na linggo, mukhang ito lang yata ang mas napakaintersadong pag-usapan: ang pag-anunsyo ng isang major label ukol sa isang music event na gaganapin sa Mall of Asia sa darating na Mayo 2017 na kinatatampukan ng mga banda na hinangaan sa independent music scene nitong nakalipas na mga taon at sa kasalukuyan.

Mukhang interesadong paglaanan ng kuro-kuro dahil sa halos hati rin ang reaksyon ng madla, mula sa presyo ng ticket (na umaabot sa tumataginting na apat na libong piso) hanggang sa pag-kuwestiyon sa adhikain ng MCA Music na layon ipagbigkis ang mga musikero ng bansa.

Tales From The City Lights: Sleepless Nights at Eastwood City – Free Concert.

9:58:29 AM | 4/29/2013 | Monday

Para sa isang maralitang mamayan na tulad ko, ang musika ang aking tanging libangan. Ang problema lang, kung wala kang datong, hindi ka rin makakabili ng album at ang tanigng sandigan mo lamang ay ang radyo. E paano kung hindi naman lahat ng kanta ay ineere sa radyo o pineperfrom sa TV? Sa conert lang yata ang natitirang pag-asa. E paano kung mas mahal pa sa isang linggong pagkain mo ang ticket para lang makapanood ng concert? Hahanap ka ng libre o at least, mas cheap, ‘di ba?

Ang mga lugar na tulad ng Eastwood City ay madalas na nagsisilbing libangan ng iilang mga music lovers para makapanood ng libreng concert. Bagay na minsan ay tinatambayan ng inyong lingkod kasama ng ilang mga nakatatandang kamag-anak.
