Tuesday at 2:17 PM

Hey everyone. It's been a hectic two weeks with Magrudergrind from DC and Crux from Australia visiting our shores. It's a Tuesday and I' getting sleepy at work so I figured I'll just post some random thoughts.

Next Tuesday will be the kick-off show for the Driven Fear (Australia) tour in the Philippines. The first show will be held at Dayo Bar, Quezon City. You can check out the flyer upstairs.

Unfortunately I just received word that some bands will not be able to play that show like Chokecocoi (to be replaced by Laguna's MIHARA), Sauna and Isvarah (who will be replaced by TOWARDS THE END from San Pablo). Anyway, the show should be really fun so come out and show your support. Give me some moshin'.



We went to the opening of the UAAP season at Araneta Center last Saturday. UST faced off against UE (always the perennial powerhouse, never the champion..hehe). Cruz had 26 points and 22 boards despite playing with a hamstring and ankle injury. UE led most of the way but the Tigers rallied. Missed free throws and other opportunities kept UST at bay and UE finally won. Next time, they won't be so lucky.

Afterwards, we ate at Greens' Resto in QC. We tried their embutido. Tsates pretty good actually. Kinda bland in some parts though. Can't go wrong with Sisig though. I bought some of it during the Crux tour and the band loved it, especially when i told them that the original version of the Tofu Sisig was it was taken from a pig's face. Good times.

Show your Wu-Tang Love! Classic Wu-Tang 'Asphalt Militia' shirt.

Here is an older Wu-Tang shirt that I always wore back in the day. Funny story. I was wearing this shirt in one of the shows that Dance of Decline/Feud was supposed to be playing along with some white Osiris shoes. Some dude was shouting "Bawal Hip-hop dito!" (No hip-hop allowed here!) and other shit to which I thought he was shouting at someone else. When I realized it was me who he was talking too, I found it funny and laughed. He got irked and tried to confront me. Fortunately for me, my reflexes was faster and I was able to dodge his punch. I hit him with a hard counterpunch. and another till he was already on the ground. Some guys with him wanted a piece of me but Darwin Collier and the rest of the T4 crew had my back. another guy tried to cheap shot me but he went down with a bloody nose. Haha. Those were the days.

Thanks to everyone who supported the Crux Tour!

Hey. Just like to extend our heartfelt gratitude to everyone who helped out at the recently concluded Crux Tour: the people of Non-Compliant Issue, Whatcore Records and Sampcore for putting up shows for the band; Led Major Malfunction for letting them crash in his 'bachelor's' pad; Arjelou for being the band roadie for the tour, as Crux said "We'd be lost without this guy"; thanks to everyone who came out and supported the show, it was an awesome time.

By the way, if you still haven't heard (if you're living in a rock or something..hehe), DRIVEN FEAR from Australia will be visiting our shores in two weeks time and it will be another f'n good time! Here are the tour dates:

July 15 (Tuesday) - Dayo Bar, Quezon City

Before that, make sure you go to THROW's new album release party on July 12 (Saturday) at Center for the Arts, Timog, Quezon City. Chokecocoi will be playing this gig so you know its going to be sick. Other bands scheduled to play are The Beauty of Doubt, Tame the Tikbalang, Music Front among others. We'll be going to this show to set up a merch table of sorts so be there!

On another note, VICES FOR VIRTUE from Australia will be touring here from August 31 - September 2, so if anyone's interested in booking them a show, just send me a message and we'll work something out.

Driven Fear (Aussie Hardcore ) in 2 weeks!

Hee is the Philippine Leg flyer for Australia's DRIVEN FEAR tour of the Philippines from July 15 to 18, 2008. The first show will be at Dayo bar, Quezon City. Then its off to Bulacan the next day then to Freedom Bar, Quezon City of the 17th.
