Coming Soon...

Wooh!Only a few more days and we take the stage again. I'm kinda nervous though, we're gonna have a session drummer because Jem has work this weekend. Just gotta be sure we practice before we go to the gig. Just check out our myspace page for our gig scheds! See you there!

I'll leave you with a random pic.Enjoy! =P

Creation

Just got back from Manila again and we had a blast! Thanks to all the people that came to the UR gig at Kampai and Tetra pack's production at LV kamuning. It just felt so good to play again and hang out with our friends. Looking forward for a lot more of that.

Well aside from the gigs, we also started to work on new material for our next dish. We decided to go on a rather technical direction but it's not gonna be that far from what we've already done in the past. It is gonna get heavier though, I promise you that. We have several "skeletons" of new songs just waiting to be completed but we're gonna take it a little slower this time. On the last album we actually had to finish over 10 songs in just a month or so and we really think that we could've done so much more with what we created. So this time we're gonna keep the completion of the new stuff in the studio with all of us present. It will actually make the song writing go faster because we can comment right away on certain things resulting to quicker adjustments on the songs. We all basically just have to agree on everything about the songs. But we're really gonna take our time now. Trying to make the songs as good as they can be.

I hope that you guys are as excited as we are in releasing a new album and I hope more people will support us as well. But I guess it will all depend on what talent we actually have. We deserve what we get.

Kainisan...

Been so long since I posted anything relevant, actually it's been a while since I posted anything at all. The Philippine economy is crap and everyone is taking a blow. Especially poor, struggling artist like me. Damn, my pc's been out of commision these past few weeks. Basically my avr broke which in turn caused my monitor to, well, die I guess. Had to go online at net cafes wasting money just to check mail or search stuff when I could be doing it at the comfort of my own home for FREE! We're running on a tight budget so I don't think we'll be getting a new monitor anytime soon. And Ive been saving my own money just for bus fare and the budget for when we need to go to Manila again. Gotta be practical. I hope we can get more gigs with decent fees so that maybe we could actually earn something that can help us out. I guess gigs are also running low because of the crappy economy. Not many prods are risking their money on small not-so-famous bands like us unless we'd do it for free or for a crappy amount. What can turn the tide around for our economy anyway? In the news its always crap! Conflicts! Complaints! Violence! WTH??? So depressing sometimes. But then these are the times when I actually get inspired to create. Write new songs and draw new artwork. I'll just try to make most of my downtime. I just hope I won't be down too long.

Problems

It's been a while since my last post. This blog is dying and so is our career. Well, that may be too drastic a thought. Hmmn... Ok this blog was sleeping and so is our career! Yeah that's better. Gigs are so far apart now. Especially our July gig. Yes there is only one gig in July for us. Sucks! I guess no one wants to see us anymore =( Come on give us a chance! I wanna play again!

Well we actually just got back from Manila for a photoshoot for Tower of Doom. Check them out soon at our Myspace page. Maybe I'll post some here too. Just really tired right now. Not enough sleep. I need my ZZZZZZ's! Still it was great fun yesterday taking pics at UP Diliman. Funny thing was there were several other people taking pics as well complete with models and clothes and those white umbrellas that served as flashes. Kinda weirded me out actually. Oh well, I'm just glad to be home again.
