The Pre-take: PWR Wrevolution X

04/29/2017 05:52:18 PM

As much as I want to stray away from making predictions on other wrestling shows, that made me think otherwise; like... why not? 

Apparently, this will be the first time I hit Philippine Wrestling Revolution's premier show (simple, a counterpart to WWE's WrestleMania, or  NJPW's annual January 4 show called WrestleKingdom) since 2015, during their staging at the crowded (and hottest) Makati Sqaure in May 2015.

The Scene Around: Cunejo Album Bar Tour (Nov. 2016)

04/14/2017 09:24:11 PM

It was in a random November evening when my partner General Miss A asked me to join her at Mang Rudy's Tuna Papaitan and Grill as one outing of the pop band Cunejo had their bar tour at the venue. She was then on her photographer duties.

StopOver: Kalanggaman Island

04/15/2017 07:33:48 PM

It was in the middle of my 9-day (or so) journey at Leyte when my relatives decide to do something that probably had been raring to do when it comes to family trip – and we mean going on an island. That said, Kalanggaman island is one of the recently-noticeable spots in the country.

The Scene Around: The Last Chapter Part 2

01/30/2017 10:52:26 PM

From LRT Soundtrack in Manila, this one became my second gig of the evening as We Are The Underdogs Productions capped the last of the two-part gig series for this cult called Dissonance: The Last Supper.

The Scene Around: TheSunManager Worth Album Bar Tour 1

04/15/2017 09:24:34 PM

After a packed evening at Route 196, TheSunManager is back and were on the roll to spread the word. April Hernandez's solo has gone bigger and with a full-length album that has been worth the wait for the fans of her indie-folk music.

PlayBack: Flying Ipis - Walust (Music Video)

03/21/2017 10:16:07 PM

Probably we have heard Flying Ipis belting lyrics out of sensuality manner most of the time. The difference is that this femme fatale quartet usually pulled them off in a very loud, straightforward badass sound known as punk rock.

Upcoming: Paranoid City "Metropolitan" Album Launch

04/24/2017 11:04:27 PM

Ladies and gentlemen, welcome, you are now arriving at your metropolitan synth pop destination.

On Air: Mad Cat Midnight with Paranoid City

04/14/2017 09:15:13 PM

Synth pop band Paranoid City guested in Jam 88.3's Mad Cat Midnight last March 23, and when you thought of these titos for being a boring kind compared to those wild metal-heads and young broods, think again: they can entertain like your typical bandista idols.

The Scene Around: Summer Komikon 2017

04/15/2017 10:49:45 PM

It may be April 1 but the scorching hot weather was no joke and were serious to welcome everyone to the 2017 Summer Komikon that took place in Unilab Bayanihan Center in Pasig City. And a short visit for a first-timer guy like me turned out to be hot in a good way.

PlayBack: Gabby Alipe – A New Strain (EP)

04/14/2017 11:27:32 PM

Just when everyone thought Gabby Alipe's music career (as a singer and songwriter) is over, we were wrong. And probably, he didn't looked like he left at all; we were even proved wrong when he released his six-tracked EP called A New Strain.

PlayBack: UDD - Sigurado

04/09/2017 07:47:32 PM

(Well, this was from one of their 2016 show, as far as I remember they had their identity changed since the turn of the year)

You can call me late-comer, but really, it took me some time to appreciate a very remarkable artist such as this band we all know for a decade already -- and before -- as Up Dharma Down. 

The Scene Around: Revolver Vanquish (Babangon Ako at Dudurugin Kita)

12/14/2016 10:48:17 AM

They may have been four or five months since their return but I think it's still fitting to say that “Revolver Productions is back once again.” And they definitely did it a la classic Filipino movie title.

Gunning for Perfect 5?!

04/20/2017 01:09:14 AM

It was a roller-coaster ride during the 24-hour stretch of that Monday (17 April 2017) and Tuesday (18 April 2017) as Filipino wrestling fans were shocked in a variety of ways in regards of where we will be seeing the programs of the World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE).

The Scene Around: The Last Chapter Part 1

01/30/2017 10:36:47 PM

Maybe a lot of us thought of Halloween came too late when the dark goth collective Dissonance propelled a two-part gig series that served them a temporary farewell in making music. Yes, err... relax, they are just taking their time off from being a band as each of them focus on their personal endeavors.

PlayBack: Apartel - Sala Sa Init (Music Video)

04/09/2017 04:47:59 PM

Soul collective Apartel appeared to make another short movie out of their song – just as smilar to what they had done in their debut song Is It Hip?
