Broken Social Scene

(A single cent worth)

The usual bands played except for the first one. I liked the last song of this first band (I don’t remember their name) which sort of had this beatle-esque feel—Sgt. Pepper era. Other than that song, the others were too mainstream-ish for my taste.

Second band was Sunset Drive. Soundwise, this is one band that I can see myself listening to every now and then (but not during Buzznites). However, I have yet to reconcile my personal preference with the vocals—it reminded me of the sound UP Maroons men make at the gym when they’re trying to lift their 30-40+ lbs. barbells. No offense but really—images of them started dancing in my head all throughout the set. Also, I still can hardly place them at a gig like Buzznite. Maybe it’s more of in the "spirit of camaraderie" that placed them there regularly. (I love you Allan)

We stepped onstage right after them. This time, Selena played the guitars in place of Allan who only played for the last two songs. We’re trying to rehearse lately for gigs wherein Allan won’t be available because of his managing stints.

Not to conjure old demons—the Superminty set was a bit reminiscent of the old Buzznite bands sound and it was good. Amidst the indie-popish undertones, the keyboards added a more atmospheric feel to the songs. Which reminded me how Caudioline also used to have keyboards (courtesy of Eloha who contributed a lot to our "Broken to Pieces" era). That was the time when we switched to standard tunings. I don’t know why we haven’t gone back to the half-drop tunings since we let go of the keyboards part.

Tether did an awesome set as always. This time the vocals can be heard and the guitar-parts are improving every Buzznite. BTW, I read from Joel’s friendster profile that he’s the “candyaudioline bassist.” Are you sure? I’m telling you right now, that didn’t quite amuse me.

My mind was someplace else during Poopoo Vox’s set. Perdon.

By the time My Science Project went onstage, I was already anticipating for the gig to end but here’s my comment on them—KONTI NALANG SUPERMINTY NA KAYO. Peace tayo Dennis.

Selena and I had late dinner at Mister Kebab. Friends/cumares from Death by Tampon were there too, together with Vin and Jason of Twisted Halo. It was nice meeting Mich, Lara and Goldie at the most ungodly hour. They perked up the place with their presence.
