this isn't really candyaudioline related, but here goes...
allan had booked "in between days" at freedom bar two weeksbefore, but he forgot about it. as a result, he was only able to line up SPK and tether. his freedom bar contact booked another band, poo poo vox. i hoped they would be ok.
the great thing about being alone was that we'd get to have long sets.
i got there at 9:30 pm. allan was still caught in san juan. i was the first and i was alone. after 10 minutes, jil of angus and rp of tv guide arrived, surprised to find that i was the only one there. we talked a bit and the conversation eventually drifted to last buzz night hehe. rp thought it had been a girl who stripped at first and said, "sayang di ako nakarating!" and then he found out it had been a guy and he was just disgusted. haha. we decided to enter the place when jann paul arrived.
allan wasn't able to promote the gig either, so we decided to nix the ticket thing because we knew it would be just us bands there. it was actually very nice, though. it turned out to be intimate and very relaxed. tether played really well and this time the vocals cught up with the music. their drummer's very skilled. poo poo vox was a little more conventional, but some of their songs sounded a bit popsicle-ish (around "abstinence" time) and the vocals were good, though a bit dramatic at times.
after the bands, rp and jann paul and charles jammed a few songs together and everyone actually stayed to watch. it was fun.
then allan took me home and afterwards joined the guys for sizzling at t. morato.
there will be another such gig on october 7th. hope candyaudioline can play then. pwede ka ba ayn? we'll promote it this time.

hi ekong and jpeg :) jpeg, ikaw pala yun hehe, sunset drive ka rin pala. ikaw yung initial contact ni allan di ba?
i heard that you guys were expecting that little incident to happen because you'd seen them before. erick of popdays told me that he searched the net for info about that band the day before and saw naked pics and he realized that it must be SOP (no pun intended) for them to do that at gigs. well, i guess it's not their fault, really, because it probably would have been acceptable at any other production--- just not at buzz night. and, as i said, we should've screened more carefully. anyway, i'm starting to see the humor in the situation. haha. ha.

hi, selena! sorry if we didn't tell you. actually, he did it with his other band (2guys, 2 girls), and it was like half a year since we last saw them. so i never thought he would be appearing then. i asked him sino contact nya and he said "(name here)... taga tether".
well, when they played, i thought to myself that he plays better in that other band. and when he took down his guitar... well... he never changed. :)
but really, it was pride on their part. they (he) didn't hold back his "craft". but on the other hand, they don't know the crowd... or their tastes.
oh well. :)
