3/4 of Bystorm went to Laguna early. We had arranged to practice with another band with members including that of ours. We met Jay of Mihara while eating @ Target Mall in Balibago and he escorted us with his trusty bike to the studio. After almost 2 hours of practice, we went to the venue and seeing that's still a bit early, we did what we do best, hang out!
After a couple of hours , the venue swelled and finally, MIHARA kicked off the show and got the crowd going early. They did covers of Inide Out's 'No Spiritual Surrender' and Have Heart's 'Armed with a Mind'. STAID came up next and started off with a new song. Awesome set once again. The venue is now f'n hot as the ventilation is pretty minimal. Fck that, we'll have fun either way.
TIGER PUSSY from Cebu went up next and it was a rockin good time! Dancing galore! How come I did not see any recorded output that night? Damn. So if anyone has any recordings from Tiger Pussy and the rest, hit me up.
Bulacan's PLAY went up and it was circle pit mayhem from start to finish. They played a lot of new songs and the energy in the room was unrelenting, despite the Sauna like atmosphere. I was so f'n exhausted after Play's set, I spent the rest of the night watching from the sidelines and it got blurred the rest of the way.
DEAD ON ARRIVAL played next and was OK. I think the equipment was getting fcked up at this point. I think GARDO from Cebu went after them and the crowd went wild. Everyone was floorpunching, two-steppin', kickboxin to Gardo's set. And they were tight. They ended their set with a Strife cover.
SHRAPNEL played with a different line-up than the last time I saw them play but they still executed the same way they did - flawless. WEST also played and this band gets better and better. I hope to hear more from them soon.
At this point, we were f'n exhausted and decided it was time to go home. Too bad we missed QUEEN CITY CREW's set but we hope to see them within this year when we play Cebu. Should be awesome...
PS. After getting home, I turned up the TV and watched the Celtics lose Game 1 of their opening series against Chicago. Fck that. I saw Game 2 today and watched Allen drain the game-winning 3. Yeah...
