TAME THE TIKBALANG, THROW, CHOKE COCOI, MUSIC FRONT, THE BEAUTY OF DOUBT @ Center For The Arts Bar, QC 071208 (photos)

Had the interest and time to post something today and will make the most of that. Here are some pix which I took from last Saturday's show at Throw's album launch. Got to hangout with friends there.. then just poured beer running into my esophagus all night. Fun eh?! It's been a week since I got to post something here... things went so slow after this series of shows which hit the local scene these past couple weeks. It started out with Magrudergrind, followed by Crux last week and I also was able to checkout one show over at Dayo bar in QC last Tuesday night for the Driven Fear tour. Few kids showed up that rainy evening but it was still fun. Killratio (again) was not able to make it for some reasons but I think it's still a good one because Tame The Tikbalang kicked some serious ass! After seeing these guys play last Saturday, got lucky to catch them again. Awesome energy and really intense. Not to mention doing a cover of "Sailin' On"..
Anyhow, I'm back to work again later.. so..

IRH #1 REVIEW ON PROFANE EXISTENCE #57

I REMEMBER HALLOWEEN, from the Phlippines, was born from the ashes of SLACKERBOOGER fanzine. There are some excellent interviews on this first issue! Way to start off on the right foot! First off is a CONQUEST FOR DEATH interview with Devon, followed by interviews with CHRIS DODGE, Barb from I OBJECT, and PAZAHORA from Sinagpore. FYI, don't get caught with weed in Malaysia! Also in the pages of I REMEMBER HALLOWEEN is another interview with a band called DEMISOR that I wasn't to impressed with. The review was conducted well, but I can only read sexist/ misogynist ideas for so long otherwise, the interviews were fucking brilliant! IRH has great photography from the local punk community, a poll that asks your favorite MISFITS song (none), record reviews and scene reports fromGreece, Estonia and Indonesia. Keep up the great work Dane! (Jason S)

Hmmm... will try to post the actal photo of the review soon here. You can share what you guys think by posting a comment!

4th Of July (update)

I got off from work early today and checked out some materials for IRH's next joint. I realized that I am pretty much way off the target date for the release of this zine's third issue already. I don't want to enumerate thousands of them excuses for not finishing what I have started. It should be ready soon I hope.. I also wouldn't want to hurry things up just for the sake of putting it out. So... But just to give you something to look forward to for the zine's upcoming issue, here are some photos.. Probably most of my peers already know which bands will be featured, but it'd be better for you to find out once it's out.. and yeah, below is me slackin' - which I am really avoiding. Haha! Cheers...

current playlist:
Red - Golden Oath Of Allegiance
Dudman - everything
Low Vision - Demo CDr
Catharsis - Samsara
Crux/ Pazahora split
World Downfall / Agathocles split

MAGRUDERGRIND on the beach! (photos)

Here it is my friends, I know you've been waiting for this post and I hope it won't disappoint. Somehow to document Magrudergrind's visit to the beautiful Lucena city. I planned to write something about this on my zine as being on the road with Magrudergrind was such a great experience for me. It was my first time to tag along with a touring band and at least take them to places, from one city to another.. I'm really thankful for this opportunity and glad to hangout with them.. such a good band, not just their music but even beyond that. Enjoy ;)

Let's start! Here's the 'on the bus' photo! Chillin!

Odessa and KC gettin' ready to hit the beach!

Magrudergrind: grinding on the classic railroad ride 'ta hell!

Are we there yet?



We're here... yeah picnic time!








Now packing up... going back to Odessa's place to get ready for the show!
