Advanced Birthday Gift--Phoenix Live in SG!

I got my Phoenix Live in SG! tickets via Sistic this morning which is kind of annoying since the system crashed when I was about to pay for my very very very nice seats. Oh well, still managed to get a relatively OK seat so that's okay.

Oh, and the concert will fall on my birthday. How amazing is that?

Can't wait for 01.15.14!

Still bummed that Kin and I weren't able to catch Friendly Fires in HKG this week. Good thing we attended Two Door Cinema Club's first Singapore concert at the Esplanade Theatre. Justin and Penny were too! Awesome concert. Awesome band. Awesome night. I got several bruises from dancing/jumping/bouncing around, hehe. Still waiting for the Laneway 2012 line up...I bet it would be great!!! Photos from TDCC concert below:

Two Door Cinema Club
"What You Know" Lyrics

In a few weeks
I will get time
To realize it's right before my eyes
And I can take it if it's what I want to do

I am leaving
This is starting to feel like
It's right before my eyes
And I can taste it
It's my sweet beginning

And I can tell just what you want
You don't want to be alone
You don't want to be alone
And I can't say it's what you know
But you've known it the whole time
Yeah, you've known it the whole time

Maybe next year
I'll have no time
To think about the questions to address
Am I the one to try to stop the fire?

I wouldn't test you
I'm not the best you could have attained
Why try anything?
I will get there
Just remember I know

And I can tell just what you want
You don't want to be alone
You don't want to be alone
And I can't say it's what you know
But you've known it the whole time
Yeah, you've known it the whole time

And I can tell just what you want
You don't want to be alone
You don't want to be alone
And I can't say it's what you know
But you've known it the whole time
Yeah, you've known it the whole time

Laneway Festival Singapore Experience

We got wet and we got dirty but it was fun nonetheless.

early bird tickets from sistic

This eleven hour concert got everyone dancing and singing despite the heavy downpour of rain. Beer and whiskey, as always, were expensive at SGD4 a cup. It didn't bother us that much because music and alcohol go really well together.

expensive beer is expensive

plastic ponchos + rain = i look lulzy

My best friend Kin has a great set of Laneway Festival Singapore photos over at flickr. Do check them out.

Laneway Friends <3

Laneway, see you again in 2012! :D

Urbandub 10 Years of Influence

From The Fort to C-5 to getting lost in Pasig to Greenhills....October 22, 2010 is now one of the memorable nights of my life. *naks, charot* Cha and I managed to make it in Greenhills *almost* at 8pm. But, lol, concerts here never start on time. It took around 2 hours later before the show finally started. Good thing Music Museum is a place where you could drink beer (PHP80 WTF)while watching concerts. Aaaaah, I imagine people gulping down San Mig Pale Pilsens while watching Janno Gibbs live. Steady.

Alak pa

Ako at si Kin Pasana at si Cha Torres na nakatalikod

The concert began with a docu/interview where people say how much they love Urbandub blah blah blah. Parang yung mga pinapakita sa ASAP kapag birthday specials. Okay naman, Kamikazee was goofing around like lolers. Hihi. By the way, we were seated at the Orchestra section, leftmost, front row. Good thing me and/or my red horse beer didn't fall on a random unsuspecting Php900 ticket-holder. Tumutrobol omg.

Gabby's parents and girlfriend are in the front row awww

Oh, Kin has a new cam--Canon Powershot S95. Grabe lang. I want one now too! Here's a video she took using her new toy

 

Endless, A Silent Whisper

I can't remember the exact set list but they played most of my favorites--No Ordinary Love, Soul Searching, Gone, New Tattoo, Cebuana, Quiet Poetic, and Sailing which was their last "more!!!!" song. To complete the night, we had a Behrouz after-concert nom.

Excited for Baybeats 2010!!!

2 days to go before Singapore's Baybeats Music Festival 2010! I'll attend the 3-day event with my friends, yey! Good thing we made an early booking at Rucksack Inn because Kin said it's just minutes away from Esplanade. I guess we'll save a lot on transportation costs, given that the event venue is just near our place. Anyway, I'm really looking forward to Baybeats. It would be my first time to watch it and I heard there will be a lot of local and international performers. Can't wait to see them play!!! Philippine representatives would be Techy Romantics, The Camerawalls, Chicosci, and Carlos Castano. Canada's Handsome Furs is set to be the main act. For the complete band line-up, checkout Baybeats' official website.

Baybeats 2010, August 20 to 22

PLEASE BE AUGUST 20 ALREADY!!!

7101 Music Nation Launches National Search for Songwriters

Dumaguete is known for its breathtaking beaches and seemingly endless supply of seafood and dessert delights. But what attracts the eager traveler—and what defines the gentle people of the city—is the idyllic lifestyle and the brimming creative atmosphere that embraces this quaint city.

Here, aspiring songwriters will have the chance to enhance their talents and learn from the masters while enjoying Dumaguete’s famous cityscape as the venue and source of inspiration for their music.

Whether it’s by a neat campfire in the pools of Bahura Resort or a field workshop amid the rain forests at Lake Balanan, Elements aims to create a unique experience that combines fun and education with something that everyone loves—music.

The first of its kind, Elements is an annual songwriting camp for aspiring and professional songwriters. For its maiden voyage, artists of different genres and disciplines and aspiring composers will be treated to an out-of-the-classroom mentorship from November 14 to 18, all expenses paid.
