Actually, Candyaudioline was in some sort of a problematic state for almost 2 months now... with me and Dennis not really pleased with the way we've been doing during gigs... it reached to a point that i almost came to a decision to ______________...
but it was not that easy because i was not ready to let go... I did try to be patient with everyone but everything will always have a limit... sobrang questionable na kasi yung situation and i can't really blame anyone in particular... this made me believe na time was catching up with Candy... so i had to ask everyone if they were still in it...
Assurances were made so i had to decide... i arranged a practice session and tried to get a gig that same day without letting them know (of the gig) until the last few hours before practice... i said to myself that it neither one does not push through, then i'll be chopping heads... i informed them of the gig 2 hours prior to practice in which everyone agreed but then as expected, barely 30 minutes later, one of my bandmates told me that she won't be able to play the gig... so this got me really pissed-off again but i tried really hard to control myself and decided to lower the stakes... that member would have to do well in practice or else...
so a soon as we were all at the studio, i repeatedly and jokingly asked Dennis if i should be disbanding Candyaudioline right there and then... i guess everyone, save for me, was enjoying each other's company too much that they didn't took seriously what i was implying on them... so on to the practice... almost an hour and twenty minutes worth of tightly ripping through a few Candy songs was enough to make me decide to forget at how pissed i was during the past few weeks... i guess, the few minutes also with Superminty help me clear my head of negative thoughts... the member who wasn't supposed to make it to the gig decided to play on the condition that we'll be playing as soon as we get there...
after practice, we all rushed to Bar TEN02... on the way, i decided (to myself) to let Superminty play instead because it was not possible for Candyaudioline to be lined up immediately... still that person waited and after almost 45 minutes, we got to play as Candyaudioline... We did just 4 songs and everyone of us enjoyed that short set..
hopefully, everything would be fine from that moment onwards... Last Tuesday, during Buzz Night at Club Dredd, i guess we did quite well...
Thanks to Chris and Happy Boy of Indie Manila for letting us play and also to Rene (Soft Pillow Kisses / Superminty) for being on stand by... and also to Experimentinglight (from Multiply) for the picture above...
