hello everyone...
tonight at mayrics, i will be playing with ex-candymates ralph, ruel, ayn and selena... it's going to be a reunion of sorts and i just can't wait to play with them... i was suppose to have practice with them last night but i had a very high fever which caused me to black-out for almost 5 hours... as of the moment, i'm not really well but i just can't let such a situation pass by and also i don't want to disappoint them...
that'll be all for now... by the way, buzz night will be on the 4th of november...

Last Night At Mayrics...
hello everyone...
it was one memorable gig we had last night at mayrics... at last i had a chance once more to watch my bandmates play live... ex-candies ruel and ralph happened to be there so i decided to let then play one song... it came out really well. it's the first time i ever got to watch mavi sing. hehehehe... ralph did the lead parts while dennis just gave way to ralph's sonic explorations... ruel was still a bit rusty doing the beats but by the middle of the song, he was back to his old self again...me and kel onstage after the first song then we went on to do "an empty you"... at first we thought that everything was going to run smoothly when, during the intrumental part, one of the amps started to suck bigtime giving dennis a tough time doing his thing... it went on until me and deninis decided to swap amps... i think we did well and the crowd and some friends like our set and the songs...
i'll be busy for the next couple of days. can't wait for monday next week...

Everything's Alright Forever... I Hope!!!
hello everyone...
in my last post, i was lamenting on the thought of drummer-less gigs and acoustic encounters... last saturday i decided to ditch the idea and gave one of our ex-candyaudioline drummer an unexpected call and offer to play drums again. he instantly agreed... we together with the rest of my bandmates planned a practice that same night... but as fate would have it, the studio was closed for the night and sisnce we're banned at the cubao studio where we usually practice, i decided to ditch the practice and just play mayrics two days later without practicing... i spend the afternoon planning on where to hang-out after the kamikazee gig that night in ateneo which was to be finished by 9pm...
on my way to ateneo, i received a call from eric of mayrics if one of my bands could play that night at mayrics. without thinking twice i called my bandmates - except out vocalist whom i knew would not be available because of her work-sched- and told them that instead of having practice, why not just play at mayrics. they all agreed to the idea... we all met up at an almost empty mayrics at around 11pm. i caught a glimpse of acel (a band fronted by ex-moonstar88 vocalist acel - they were quite good). just when we were prepairing our instruments, one of the bass strings snapped leaving me with no choice but to get maggot's bass guitar from sta. ana. i think acel's set was about to finish by the time were at maggot's place. while waiting for maggot inside the cab, i tried calling mavi informing her that we were to play at mayrics with the intention of giving her an idea that she could still catch up with us since me and maggot were still in sta. ana. she told me that she'd try to catch-up but she'll just watch us play. so me and maggot rushed back to mayrics where we found dennis and our balik-candy drummer has already finished setting up. also to my surprise, there was a crowd of about 30 people or so. this got me nervous so i rang up our vox a couple of times but she wasn't answering. so i went up stage and nevrously did 3 and a half songs. by the middle of the forth song "waste my time" i caught a glimpse of our vocalist seated at the back and hiding so i gestured at her to come on stage which she and and from there on, we did about five more songs... i guess the crown enjoyed our sort of funny set, with all the amps fucking up at times...
so now we're complete again...
welcome back Kel...

Wanted Drummer?
hello everyone...
just when things were beginning to look bright for us candies, up comes another slab of of tasteless dilemna facing us straight in the eye... yes, we have no drummer as of the moment... in fact, the last time we plated at 70's bistro, i had to ask ruel - also an ex-candy member to play drums for us two hours before actual play time... it was really quite a blast... thanks ruel... as of the moment, we plan on playing gig's either with a sessionist or just do it stripped down drumless, so if anyone one of you is interested to play drums for us just don't hessitate to message me or text me at this no. 09209610348... that's all for now...
