Gemini!
The show shirt. Design by Tourette Syndrome. Blacklisted inspired. Awesome.
Last night was the anniversary show of www.diypinoyhcpunk.com, a forum dedicated to bringing the local hc punk scene together thru sharing of information and what-not.
The show started with scene veterans BAD OMEN taking the stage and dished out some new songs as well as classics such as 'Bad King' and 'Maling Sistema'. I haven't seen these guys for a really long time and it was a treat seeing them again.
Up next was the last show of ALL AFFECTED from Lucena City. Fast thrash and just as soon as these guys were really getting good, they had to break up. Hope to see something new rise from this band.
SISTER BASTARD was next and once again they dished out their INFEST brand styled of fastcore which makes you want to punch the person next to you. Nah, I'm just playin. GUERRA MUNDIAL played next in representation of the Flowergrave Collective. D-beat galore withe matching confetti to beat. FG rules!
BYSTORM played next and I think we played an awesome set (to my standards at least..hehe). The crowd went nuts especially during 'Imortal' which is my fave BS sons. Thanks to everyone who danced hard. Hehe.
AGGRESSIVE DOG ATTACK from Laguna was up next. Boi and crew have been doing this since '89 (well, Boi at least...) and these guys never let up. Crudos inspired fastcore that just doesn't let up. Good to see ADA again.
RUSH IxDx was up next and before we started our set, we asked some forum members to introduce themselves to the crowd, and what do you know, the guys obliged. In return they get free RxIxDx demo. OH yeah, we released our demo yesterday. It's for free so just hit us up if you want one. We opened our set with MLB's 'Balance the Books' and played a really fast set, or maybe our songs were just too short. One of the funnest sets I've played ever.
HTB was next and they played materials from their upcoming CD (release party soon). More sing-along friendly thant their earlier releases. They also played 'Positive Thinking' by Rancor. Awesome.
After HTB, we went out to get some grub so we kinda missed OMERTA and NUCLEAR PUNISHMENT's set. We came back to see one of the bands closest to my heart RICHARD COLLIER dishing it out to the crowd. Great, great set from these guys. Nixon from Sauna even jammed with them for a couple of songs. Can't wait to hear new material from these guys.
Stoner kings EYES OF FIRE were up next and played Sabbath-groove oriented songs where you can bang your head slowly while smoking a piece of blunt. Haha. KAKTUS KARUKA was up next and were again awesome. Is it just me or are they getting faster? LEGARDA closed the show and when I went inside, the crowd was, should I say 'mesmerized'? by their set...
It's going to be a long day. I got a lot of work to do. Good thing there's no work tomorrow...
