Radiopilipinas Bar Tour 1 - 9MIle Bar

The Radiopilipinas Bar Tour kicked off with a blast at 9mile bar in kalayaan ave., qc. Bands who's songs are being regularly played on the internet radio performed to a responsive crowd. Spotted among the audience are talent scouts from several record labels as well as producers who enjoyed every song the bands played.

The audience enjoyed the band and the band enjoyed the audience. It was one funfilled evening where samples of songs from radiopilipinas was heared live.




















A live broadcast of the night didnt push through due to technical difficulties. However the staff was able to record the audio of the performances and will be broadcasting it in the days to come. Watch out for it.

Indie Jam Jan24 at Genre Bar Photos

Another night of indie jamming. The night was fun-filled with exciting performs and a jam-packed venue of responsive crowd mostly composed of people from the songwriters community.

There was no free beer unlike that one held earlier, instead there was a free shot of brandy. Sayang wala ang Tabass or else they would have enjoyed the Granma.

Here are a few pictures of the night's performance:



















Thanks to Crude Oz who gave away copies of their album for free.

Thanks a lot to all the performers and all the audiences. The night was a great success. The bands enjoyed the audience as the audience enjoyed the bands.

It was unfortunate however that we didn't get to broadcast the show live on radiopilipinas internet radio. We had our equipments on the set but for unforeseen reason we failed to get an internet connection. We will try our best to broadcast on the next show on jan 31. To all kababayans outside manila and out of the country, you can enjoy the fun by tuning in on jan31.

The show was a joint project of radiopilipinas.com, indiepinoy.com and songwritersph.net.

Indie Orgy Nights at Genre Bar, Cubao X

Its my comeback in producing shows. Indie Orgy Nights is a collaboration show of radiopilipinas, indiepinoy and songwriters philippines. This was held at Genre Bar which is located at the 2nd floor of Allan's Grill at that new artist haven called Cubao Expo (formerly Marikina Expo) right at the back of what used to be Rustans and beside what used to be COD.

The last time I produced shows was around mid 1990s at mayrics. All those Gimik Asembli series which reached part 15 spanning several years was a huge success for that production outfit I created called Bright Red Music Productions. Kearny Rosete of One Big Family Prods told me the sad news midway of the indie orgy nights that Mayrics is now closed. The owner has called it quits. Although there are efforts from different bands and production outfits to revive the place.

Anyway, Indie Orgy Night was grand. Showcasing great bands and having the place filled up with really great people who knows how to appreciate music. From the original line up, carpe diem was absent. So there were dream kitchen, the bernadettes, hooligans, tabass, geek city riot, blue martian cookies, muffin and where's charlie.

Here are a few pictures of the night. Not really good quality since I was just using my cellphones camera. Sadly I wasn't able to get a picture of muffin onstage for obvious reasons... nasa stage ako. If anyone has a pic just post it here para makumpleto.

The night was supposed to be ended with Joey Pepe Smith, but the show ended early and he came in too late. His band mates were there anyway enjoying the party.

came in with their singer who had no voice, so it was the guitarist who has to do the singing


in replacement of the absent band, hooligans was a late addition to the line-up


celebrating their 2nd anniversary as a band, they showed the crowd how to have fun

finally blue martian cookies gets to sing spaghetti band version live


really rocking band with the classic pinoy rock ambiance, where's charlie ended the night with a really hard rock.

To all who came to rock, thanks a lot for your support. The bands enjoyed the crowd. And the crowd enjoyed the bands.

Sa uulitin muli.
