Out of Step @ Center for the Arts show review.



Originally, this show was supposed to happen at Ten02 but at the very last minute, the show at Ten02 was cancelled because of a misunderstanding in schedules so Led was forced to have it happen at nearby Center for the Arts. So I guess it was still a blessing that the show managed to push through despite of the last minute cancellations.

A couple of bands in the line-up were not able to make it to the show making the show a six-band bill. Bummer.

Bystorm opened the show and we got a typical CFTA response. Haha. The venue is too large for a hardcore show, I think. People tend to get lazy. Talk Sick followed next and put up a great set. DFP was next and the mosh ensued. One of the good bands to play that night was Unforce from Lucena. If I got it right, they changed their sound to a more youth crew vibe. Good stuff. Staid played next and were awesome as usual.

Out of Step were up next and finally got the crowd moving from all sides of the room. The singer's got a good command of the crowd and he just worked it. Sing-alogs, pile-ons, circle pits. Yes.

After the show and an hour hanging out of the venue, OOS and the crew (except me and Crisanto) went to Cubao and went to Baguio.

After getting a couple of hours sleep and an hour waiting at the Cubao terminal, we were also on our way to Baguio City. After a long grueling drive, we were on the venue. Unfortunately, we were too tired to watch the bands. OOS played a great set once again and the kids went nuts.

Some more chit chat and we're on our way home. Luckily, we found a bus going to Avenida, Manila instead of Cubao so we're home in about five (5) hours. Rest the whole day...
