Continuing with the "throwback" thing we have for NCI shows, I asked Z to do a write-up for the third edition of NCI which I was not able to go to. Here's what he has to say:
2 months after Forgiveness Denied's last hurrah at Kublai's Katipunan (NCI #2), Non-Compliant Issue took the series south... the far south of Luzon that is!
Lucena city, Quezon is the first of our provincial stops with acts coming from as far as Bulacan (Omerta and Play) to Samar (Befall) - all representing the microcosm that is d.i.y. hardcore-punk. also one of our cheapest, a measly 30php at the gate to ensure kids can get in without a hitch. but of course, it wouldn't be a "punk show" without the usual freeloaders outside the venue who riled up and caused quite a stir forcing the owner of the club to call for security. and by security, i don't mean your usual white shirt PADPAO moron "sikyo," guy has his SWAT-cum-private-army armed to the teeth with rifles, pistols, helmets, and vests. but the punks, radical AND annoying as they come didn't budge. so knowing that we've already got enough from the gate to cover the venue and equipment, we decided to cut a deal with these rascals to let 'em in for free provided they don't drink, do drugs, or fight; just dance, do circlepits and singalong. the huge hall roared that night up to the last note.
if memory serves me right the show started around 7pm and ended a little past midnight with an afterparty in front of the punk info/merch shop 5Bot with the pre-Flowergrave Colletive crew. the following day we hit the nearby beach for another round of partying. goodtimes i tell ya! - Z
