| i HIGHLY RECOMMEND checking out the shows sa fest na 'to. ang gagaling ng mga bands esp. Free Love from Malaysia, The Sinister Left from HK, at syempre EVERYBODY LOVES IRENE - pang sexytime eh, aawwwww! spare some dough for their brightly colored merch mukhang masaya yung saturday, kasama UP DHARMA DOWN nga pala, kung sino libre senyo baka sunday, samahan nyong mamasyal around metro manila yung mga members nung E.L.I., yung drummer daw gustong pumunta sa mga strip clubs  |

| missed day one.
here's the lowdown for those who missed it:
the saguijo show was fantastic. magnet was as well. ELI was totally mesmerizing. didn't disappoint especially with an almost lights out set in saguijo.
Q was so fun it was ridiculous. i am totally loving crazy okinawa freakfolk. the karaoke and the ukeleles!
DEEPSET played a jawdropping set on both nights. everyone was hypnotized. think mono and caspian! sirensounds at its finest.
I AM DAVID SPARKLE was just a massive wall of sound pummeling at you and lulling you to a serene state at the same time. mogwai meets explosions in the sky with a hint of good old neurosis. by the size of their pedalboards alone you knew it would be epic. my ears are seriously ringing. they are just so fucking good. they will be playing SXSW in texas by the end of the month! go kitty wu records!
all the other bands were fantastic as well. big hats off to the organizers for putting up a massive 4 day show of almost all foreign bands. great indierock from the region in a festival without being "big" festival. 5 foreign bands each night for only 160 and tons of merch. it was great seeing folks from the HC/punk scene supporting the shows. hopefully next year will be better. who knows, maybe killeur calculateur and amateur takes control would come next? |

| Q from japan was totally punk rock.
they played folk/nursery rhymes for adults. lol. the duo used to be a sicence teacher and the other one a music teacher.
on their day off they went to smokey mountain and tondo, performed in the streets to the delight of the streetkids.
when was the last time a band did that?
i have so much respect for goro and piapi.
check them out! watch the vids. shitloads of fun. www.myspace.com/56pia |
