The New Act to Follow

05/27/2018 03:21:33 AM

Just this past month, in a middle of the Bruno Mars concert, the said Grammy-award winning recording artist have noticed the potion of his audience seeing their cameras raised instead of just enjoying the live and raw thing. It was an interesting scenery and thought to ponder on for a while. And this, probably, has been a norm nowadays no matter how partly-distracting it may seem for both artists, performers, and organizers.

It was a steady Thursday night at Route 196 where actor-musician Marc Abaya staged a bar tour regarding “Red Bleeds To Blue,” his first work as a solo artist.

Initially, questions pops up in the minds of every music aficionado who followed his work for barely 1 ½ decades as Abaya takes a leap of fate this year, and ahead of time when his band is about to hit Singapore and Dubai for the next two months.

Yours truly had a catch-up talk with the Kjwan frontman regarding his latest solo act.

Goodbyes are always – and will always be – the hardest bittersweet moments anyone will experience. Or sometimes, even just the bit-assuring “I'll be back soon” counts there, too. And even beyond the usual family-friends-partner relationships circles, affiliations such as 'band members' arent spared from such gesture.

PlayBack: The Itchyworms – Sisikat Muli Ang Araw (music video)

05/22/2018 09:04:45 PM

The Itchyworms is one of those few commercially-and-artistically successful bands from the OPM band explosion wave during the mid-2000s. And now that we are approaching late-2010s and the young acts are getting more mainstream recognition, it's safe to say that IW is still standing there and has their sound evolved over the long course of time.

I used to argue with one of my friends in the music scene (who happens to be a fellow avid wrestling fan) in the past; saying Money In The Bank will be a non-brand exclusive pay-per-view event by the coming year.

Hey Cris, turns out you're right. Well, with the advent of having PPV events intended for both RAW and SmackDown divisions since post-WrestleMania, Money In The Bank certainly deserves a slot to  even be part of the major events in WWE's calendar. One briefcase for either two of the prestigious championships in each division (men and women) seems to be a right decision to convene.
