It's been a while since my last post. Let me tell you what we've been up to. We had a gig early this week which turned out to be a blast but, at the same time, it was a very interesting learning experience for us because our manager could not make it which left us to handle the dealing with the organizer ourselves. Negotiating is not easy, believe us. And all I can say is that we may not be playing for that prod anytime soon. But this time it's our decision. We've encountered many many bullshit reasons in our career and we learned not to take them lightly anymore. If you're into producing gigs and you wanna get us, please, know that we are not just any band, even if we aren't as big as some other bands out there. Although we have made bad moves in the past, we are professional musicians and we have earned every bit of respect that we get today. And we are thankful for all those who have supported us by "inviting" us to play for them but we also know how much we're worth. Many may not agree but we do not give a carabao's ass about it. Just give us the respect we expect and we will give it right back and more! We are NOT new at this.
On a lighter note, get the May issue of Pulp mag (the SIN issue)and check out their review of our album "but what if we will". I'll tell you they gave us an acceptable 3 and 1/2 oranges. Why? Just grab a copy of the issue to find out and see if you agree.
Until next time.

Be proud! kasi you managed to do those that were supposed to be done! Atleast naexperience niyo na ihandle ang mga negotiations and stuff.. you'll be ready na for the next "no manager experience".. :) Anyway! Kaya niyo yan! Keep it cool and don't mind those fun suckers na umeepal sa inyo.. More power to Imbue No Kudos!
Thank you Phoebe! its because of supporters like you that we push ourselves to be better artists and people.
