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!!!
