Buzz Night and Other Perks

Thank god you guys have started posting again!

Allan happened to mention to Erap of The Youth last Friday that we had just lost a drummer and were looking for a replacement/sessionist. He immediately volunteered himself. At first, we thought he wasn't serious but he insisted and even "begged" with his hands locked in praying fashion for us to consider him. He said it would be good practice for him with his own band, too. Allan asked Robert Javier if it was ok and he liked the idea. So I hope that pushes through. It would be great to have the band active again in spite of seemingly insurmountable odds. Ahem.

Buzz Night was excellent! It had a diverse lineup of emo, dreampop, shoegaze and so-far-unclassified bands, and everyone delivered! Nakakaasar nga kasi wala ang candyaudioline! But in the light of the new developments I have just stated, that problem will be addressed soon mwahaha. In any case, last Saturday was a success. We started on time and the evening's flow was smooth. Daydream Cycle started the night after almost a year of not playing at Buzz Night. They played some of their new stuff and some good covers. Sunset Drive was there; Softpillowkisses (almost seamless set, guys!); a newbie band called Tether (I liked their last song-- hope they play for Buzz Nights to come); Popular Days (grabe, need I say more??); TV Guide (thanks for coming at the last minute!); and Weedisneys. Balloon Derby and Spring Boutique were no-shows, but the night was still good. Marami pang tao, hehehe.

Yesterday, Allan, John Paul and I went to Lucena for a The Youth gig. We were all sleepy from the night before, especially John Paul, whose eyes were puffier than usual. Still, he did a great job roadieing for the band. Allan and I went to Ayn's after that to talk to her about her problem. She seems willing to give the matter more thought. Tristania woke up while we were there and did her Otso-Otso dance for us (only Tristia has the power to make Allan sing even one syllable of that song). ANG CUTE-CUTE NIYA TALAGA!!!!!

Tonight, Sir Charles and I will be at the UPIS fair because he's going to be a judge at their Battle of the Bands, along with Lara's brother.

Yehey! "The future's so bright--- I gotta wear shadesssss!"

Eighties perky shit.
