NCI NO. 2 “FORGIVENESS DENIED’S LAST SHOW”, OCTOBER 21, 2006 @ KUBLAI’S, KATIPUNAN, QUEZON CITY
Here’s the second installment of the Non-Compliant Issue shows I would like to revisit. As the title of the show suggests, this is the farewell show of one of the best bands to grace the local hardcore scene: FORGIVENESS DENIED.
The band was unfortunately breaking up since John was supposed to leave for the U.S. in a couple of months. They have recorded their new songs for the “New Names…” compilation and were at the peak of their “career”.
At this point, Bryan (ex-FD) was involved in organizing this show. He brought up the idea of having it at a bar in Katipunan. The deal was we didn’t have to pay anything but the catch was we have to include two (2) of their “homegrown” bands in the lineup: Deltajoy and Lirag. Those two (2) bands sucked so f’n much, it was so funny. Hehe. I woudn’t even beginning how hilarious they were.
A couple of bands opened for FD, including Feud, Bystorm, Sauna (one of their best sets) and Isvarah. Other bands that played that night were Utter Dismay and Loss of Control . Couldn’t really remember if Religious Nightmare played.
FD’s set that night was one for the books. They played old and at that point, new, material. Bryan even played a couple of songs with them. Felix, who was one of the founding members of FD, jammed with them. They even belted out covers of Harvest’ ‘Epicure’ and Point of No Return’s ‘Casa de Caboclo’. I remember having so much fun that night. And it was a fitting farewell for FD…
Where are they now?
John is in Arizona and currently playing with two bands, Hopefully, he’ll come back and tour with those bands. Denver is in Bystorm. Zeus is currently expanding his tattoo mastery somewhere in Zamboanga. I think a lot of bands in Batangas are currently defunct because of him. Hehe. Bryan is playing with Demolition of False Progression.
