It Wasn't So Bad... Really...

Hello everyone...

last night was Buzz Night... And it wasn't as bad as i expected...

Recovering from a month's absence, we kicked off with me, Rene, Dennis and Kel playing four cover songs... by the time we reached the 1st half of the 1st stanza of the first song, the 4 of us realized that we were becoming an embarrassment... by the time we ended the second song Kel begged me, in secrecy, that we should go down and not push through with the remaining 2 songs... but since it was done in the spirit of fun and was an excuse to add another "band" to the line up, we shockingly marched our way through the last two songs... next up was Sunsetdrive... and as usual, they did very good, in spite the trouble that they were having with the bass amp... Candyaudioline followed next with Ex-Candy Ralph filling in for a supposedly Tether-bound (Tether had a gig somewhere that night)Dennis... Ralph played exceptionally well and everyone was impressed (even me) at how he played and made his guitar sound like no other... I forgot the name of the next band but the were formerly known as Mizwa and really improved by leaps and bounds... very up-to-date-sounding-indie-guitar-rock... they were almost perfect that night if they hadn't jammed those Foo Fighters and Weezer? songs sung in the most emo-ish manner... Last band was Soft Pillow Kisses with its line-up intact... great set that everyone was kept glued to their seat through the 7 songs that they played...

what more can i say? buzz night is back!!! HOPEFULLY...

We've Been...




Hello everyone...

We've been trying our best these past few days to put life back to this already dying band of ours... Since I've got back from the States, we haven't have luck finding a replacement bassist... Recently, I've also decided to look for a permanent vocalist but still no luck either... we've had three practice sessions already prior to last night's session, all of which was sort of a boner since none of the members, including me, seem to put something or anything that would at least give meaning or value to the time we were spending cranking up our gears...

Prior to last night's session, I've come to a decision to just stick with Rene (Soft Pillow Kisses bassist) as our permanent bassist for the meantime and just concentrate on looking for a singer... also we've been putting a lot of effort on cover songs... not that we're running out of ideas, it is just that it would make me more comfortable singing other band's songs rather than our own for now since we don't have a proper vocalist...

Last night's practice was sort of kick in the butt... In spite of our being very tired coming from 2 very tiring work commitments, we were still able to jam for about 2 hours... In that 2 hours, we were able to clean up the 4 cover songs that we were focusing on plus did some polishing on some Candyaudioline songs for Rene's sake... Also, we tried jamming at least 4 Soft Pillow Kisses songs just in case the need comes... Do you know what I mean?

That's that for now...

By the way, Buzz Night's going to be on the 24th of October...

Back To Zero...

Hello Everyone...

Nakabalik na rin ako sa wakas dito sa Pilipinas... And surprisingly,i feel very good about it...

Sino ba naman ang hindi sasaya once nasa familiar territory na... Isipin nyo, pagbalik na pagbalik ko sa amin eh katakot-takot na problema na na agad ang sumalubong sa akin... Hay buhay nga naman... Pero ayus lang, at least dito lang and not in some foreign place wherein i'm not familiar with the people, terrain, laws and ways...

Hay talagang back to Zero... Putol ang linya ng phone ko, ubos na rin ang pera ko... nawalan pa ako ng cellphone tapos bumigay pa itong supposedly top-class-high-performance phone ko... Pati ang Candyaudioline kailangan din mag-simula ulit...

yun lang...

I'm Missing Home

Hello Everyone...

Haven't really had the time to post... We're in New Jersey right nowand tomorrow morning we'll be leaving for L.A. the the following day we'll be heading back home...

I never really got to enjoy my stay here in the U.S. for the past month... At this very moment i feel really sad... Hopefully, the thought of finally coming back home and being with people whom i truly like to be with could at least bring some positive feelings out of me... (parang ang pangit yata ng grammar nun ah)...

Ang lungkot talaga dito sa totoo lang... although mababait yung mga tao specially yung mga kababayan natin na talaga namang umasikaso sa amin dito inspite of their very busy scheds...

Alam nyo ba, nanakawan kami ng gamit dito sa New Jersey nung date nung last commitment namin almost 2 days ago... Nabuksan yung van na pinaglagyan ng mga instruments... grabe, panic mode kaming lahat pero nagawan ng paraan at nakabili naman ng gamit para lang matuloy yung last show namin... Buti pa dito, halos lahat ng gusto mong mabili ay nandito... Cge saka nalang ako mag kukwento... balikan ko pa labahan ko... hehehe

I really miss home...
