Nice Gig Nice Gig Nice Set...

it's the 2nd time around for us and inspite of the very little improvement i'm still very optimistic about our current situation...

the Strange Geometry gig at Route 196 just a while ago was slightly better than the one we had at Sazi's 3 nights before... the intruments were tight and i guess we weren't our usual loud self but it felt quite good... as if everything was in order (thanks to Jeff's steadiness) save for the vocals which at times was quite embarrassing... still Celene improved a lot compared to the first gig... she was more prepared this time around that she even bought with her alcohol and cotton which she made good use during our set... even i have been singing off key thanks to my slightly deaf left ear...

anyways... it going to be another long climb from here but i guess it'll be more fun this time around...

nice set to the following bands... Phantom Sizemore, The Shocking Details and Gentle Isolation... wasn't able to catch Dress and was to tired to watch Outerhope but i did here a lot of praises for these two...

Thanks Eloha (Ex-Soft Pillow Kisses Vocalist and one time Candyaudioline Keyboardist) for dropping by and taming the beast named Dennis... Thanks too kay, Christian and Sir Carl, at kay Joey and Jared ng Phantom Sizemore para sa strap...

Practice And Bulalo...

we had another practice last night in preparation for tonight's 70's Bistro gig... i was really amused at Jeff... i made him play four songs which we haven't jammed yet... Still he was able to execute them in just one take, to almost near perfection, simply by just listening to the songs repeatedly... i just wish that Maggot had that abilty... speaking of Maggot, i wasn't able to make her sing again... as usual, she wasn't able to prepare... anyways, we had to cut the practice short since jeff had to rush back home... i later learned, through Ayn that it was his birthday... Sayang, medyo late a rin kasi and we had to take Maggot home too...

on our way to Maggot's place, we stumbled along a bulaluhan somewhere in Blumentrit, San Juan near F. Manlo St.... Masarap... yun lang, a medium sized bowl at a PhP120 is a bit pricy pero talagang masarap... syempre, di mawawala ang kulitang Dennis at Maggot... Bilib talaga ako kay Dennis, pati yung bantay ng Bulaluhan eh nagawan nya talaga ng panlalait... i was hoping to talk to them about my plan for Candy pero i decided not too because i've yet to decide on it... nakakalungkot nga lang kasi talagang alangin pa rin lahat and i think matatagaln pa bago maging steady kami ulit... we really want Jeff to be our drummer, even Jann Paul suggested that he was perfect for us... Pero if we'll have Jeff as our permanent drummer, we still have to look for a back-up just in case his other bands need him... Hay naku nga naman... if ever nga pala, dapat ko pa pala ipa-alam sa mga bandmates nya ito...

Hmmmm, sana maraming Elaine sa Manila... Hehehe, tanggap na ni Rene na di na cya papayat... Sana bigwasan na ni Maggot si Dennis... Sana yumaman na kami ni Dennis...

Rene's Request...

didn't have anything to do last Saturday so i called up Dennis and Rene and asked then if they'd like to watch Ice Age 3 with me... i was able to watch the movie a few days ago via download and was really laughing my head off inspite of the mediocre quality of the download...

Ice Age 3 is really a treat to watch... i was expecting Crash and Eddie to continue their craziness in this film but i guess they had to give way to a new character called Buck in that department... Even Diego was had a number of quite funny scenes himself... Sid was super all through out and Scrat too... Ooops, guess i have to stop from here...

Me, Rene and Dennis was able to watch the 3D version of the movie by accident which made the trip even more enjoyabe... i suggest you watch i too...

An Almost Fresh New Start At Al's Bar...

Last Thursday, July 9, we played our first gig since the last one we had at Buzz Night almosr 3 weeks prior...

it's not been going well with us since, after that Buzz Night... our drummer (without prior notice) left temporarily since he had to work... until about a week ago, i was having second thoughts whether to get a replacement or just a sessionist... i've decided to get a replacement instead although as of yet there's nothing official about it... also, i'm quite pissed at our vocalist for chosing not to play that gig and instead, watch another gig by some other band whom with which she has a crush on one of it's members...

back to Al's Bar gig... we needed just one practice session with Jeff (Disco Ball, Scarlet Tears)... we did prepare about 6 songs (but we were able to jam around 11 songs) going to that gig although we only played 4... it was quite an enjoyable one... Jeff was so steady that i didn't have a hard time catching my breath while singing... although both mine and Dennis' amps, after about 2 songs gave in... Rene sessioned for us too since it was also Maggot's Birthday that night...




while waiting for our turn to play, me and Jeff talked about him being a permanent member... Dennis suggested that we should take him in... Jeff liked the idea and so do i... but i have second thoughts since i quite respect both the bands wherein Jeff plays... we just have to lety the future decide on this...

as of now, we'll just have Jeff play drums for us whenever he can, while it is still me and Dennis doing the guitar chores... rene we'll be playing bass for a while and Maggot (although she has yet to be informed) will be the one to sing...

Still Down And Out...

still haven't had time to shake-off the dust left behind by the recent latest development that has hit Candyaudioline... actually i'm beginning to miss it already... it's just that we're so busy at work lately...

maybe next week i'll be able to sort things out... then we'll be able to have practice with some prospects...

That's that for now...
