December 2009 Buzz Night... And It Was Fun...

Hello everyone...

it's the end of another year and the start of a new one...

last Tuesday's Buzz Night was a perfect year ender for us... It was really fun that night thanks to a slightly huge attendance and of course, the bands who participated... it was also a sort of Candyaudioline Soft Pillow Kisses post-christmas party thing...

Lazy Lorelei, reduced to a three-piece unit, kicked-off the night... it was the first tme i saw them play as a three piece line up... the songs still hold up and their tighness helped-up a bit... Never got to watch the second band, Scarlet Tears since i was being bugged by calls concerning a recent business endeavor... also this was the time when me and Dennis went to Mini-Stop to buy paper plates, plastic spoons and forks and to meet up with Eloha (ex - SPK vox)who at that time forgot how to get to Sazi's via Lacson Route... Next up was Identikit and they dished out some really neat Indierock tunes... wish i could've helped them a bit with the mics but i was a bit pre-occupied, waiting for some friends visiting from the U.S. only 2 of which showed up... i was expecting more of since i really wanted them to see all of the bands lined up last night... a slightly depleted Soft Pillow Kisses followed (Jeff of Scarlet Tears / Candyaudioline played drums since Jann Paul wasn't around)... it was SPK's first gig in 3 months and they were also sporting a new singer... i guess SPK did a fairly decent set quickly recovering after a lack luster first song... Gentle Isolation followed... they're really good but they did struggled a bit during their cover of Primal Scream's "Gentle Tuesday"... i hope we could have more of them during Buzz Nights... Candyaudioline followed... we started with Selena singing and Ayn playing the bass in the song "An Empty You"... Celene and Maggot played the remainder of the set... i didn't got to sing that much since i was really winded... it's a good thing that Celene was up to it... maybe because she had her whole family watching... Candyaudioline did really well and this time around we were really loud unlike the last two gig's we played during this month prior to that night's gig... I only got to see a bit of Slumbook since i was trying to catch wind outside... Selena was really impressed with them though... Phantom Sizemore was the last band up and i intentionally didn't watched their sst since i didn't want to see their guitars, 2 which were once mine but i had to sell them since i was really having problems with money during the latter half of this year... if only i was able to buy that Fender U.S. Jazzmaster that afternoon ut that guitar's neck has slightly warped... hehehe my attempt at buying that 80k piece of guitar was quite an embarring experience...

after the gig, me together with some of my ex and current bandmates from both Candy and SPK went to Mr. Kebab for our customary after gig treat... also hanging out with us was Sir Carl (Lazy Lorelie), Joe (Identikit), Eric (Populardays) and the rest of Slumbook... wish we could do this everyday...

here's a video of us doing "Celophane Smiles" during that gig...



that's that for now...

Let's say Goodbye to 2009 and all together wish that 2010 would be much better...

Panalo nga pala yung Pansit na dala ni Dennis at yung dala ni Celene na... nakalimutan ko tawag dun? di ko naman natikman yung dala ni Jeff na Bicol Express... mukang masarap naman cguro yung dala kong Lechon Kawali since naubos sya eh...

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!

An Empty You @ Sazi's

another one of the songs we played last time at Sazi's...

Sarap Tumugtog... As Always...

hello everyone,

it was one of those really enjoyable gigs again... credit that to the fact that we haven't been really gigging lately... nevertheless, we had fun... i think some of the crowd liked our stuff...

everything was good, from the amps, our gears and even the P.A. system... i was even enjoying the idea of hearing me and Celene singing... actually, i get distracted everytime i hear my voice coming out from the monitors, but last night was different...

i was thinking of playing some songs that we've been praticing lately like "Pretend That We're Smart", Broken To Pieces", "You're Not There" and "Together" but i decided on "safer songs" instead since i got a bit concerned that we might fuck up since we were playing to a slightly unfamiliar crowd...

here's us doing "Something Wrong"...



that' that for now...

now i'm looking forward to next weeks Buzz Night... just hoping that Buzz Night will be enjoyable this time around...

malapit na ang Pasko... pagkatapos nyan ay New Year naman... 2010 na... anu kaya ang mga mangyayari?

hay naku, ang hirap na kumuha ng taxi ngayon... tapos yung mga barker boys sa amin eh ang gulo mang para ng taxi... sumaside-line na ang mga kumag... eh syempre iniisip ko na ako lang yung pinaparahan nila yun pala hindi... yung iba nakatago pa... cguro nga marami nang may pera ngayon kasi dati halos ako lang yata ang pumapara ng taxi dun sa sakayan sa amin between 1:30-3pm eh... pero ngayon marami na... ulti mo nga yung isang nakikita ko lang na magbebenta ng paborito kong isaw sa kanto namin eh naka-unahan sa pagpara ng taxi nung isang araw... syempre pinagbigyan ko nalang kasi may date daw sya...

buti pa sya, may date... kung sa bagay di pa naman masyadong malamig ngayon kahit nasa Mid-December na tayo...

kanina nga pala ay nagsimbang kabi ako... maaga sa amin eh, mga 3:30am kaya sakto lang sa abnormally abnormal sleeping habit ko... yun lang, naisip ni Father na para hindi antukin ang mga Parish Peeps sa misa eh minabuti nyang isa-awit nalang lahat ng mahahalagang bahagi ng mass... ayun, wala tuloy akong maintindihan sa mga pinag-kakanta nila kanina... binabagyo sa reverb yung timpla ng mga mic tapos medyo ma-low yung mga boses... nalala ko tuloy bigla si Dennis na di mabubuhay ng walang reverb... after nga ng mass eh napa-isip ako ng malalim... kalat na kaya talaga ang type ng music na pinakikinggan ko? yung approach ba sa pagkanta na dati'y dahilan ko lang para maitago ang mga walang ka-kwenta kwenat kong mga lyrics ah ina-apply na rin kahit sa mga awiting pang - simbahan? kung sabagay, malaki ang influence sa akin mga mga church hyms... yun lang paano nila maipaabot sa tao ang salita ng Dyos kung di rin maiintindihan ang kanilang mga tinatalumpati...

Hay naku... nakakalungkot tuloy...

Sana masaya ang Buzz Night this December 29...
