Admit One Hit Wonders

Oh yeah, another funtastic Admit One gig to blog about :P Looong post ahead...

Sorta random thoughts about last night:

+ Iba na pala set-up ng Saguijo. The band plays near the door na. Kakapanibago because the lights are situated at the bar, so medyo di ganun kaganda lighting sa banda. And of course sa pasok-labas ng tao, la kang choice kundi dumaan sa harap ng banda to get to the bar. And there's this wooden harang at the entrance. Soundproofing daw hehehe.

+ Last night seemed to be Cambio shirt night. Mga naaalala kong naka-Cambio shirt: Vin, Kris, Raimund, Jal, Trici, Mitch. As for me, I totally forgot to buy one. I already have the crown design, pero gusto ko yung suot ni Kris so I want another Cambio shirt hehehe.


The Cambio shirt design that I want.

Check out Kris's guitar strap with her cutie little boy.

+ The gig was covered by OPM.ph. And speaking of Kris, inubos talaga siya nung isang OPM.ph photographer! As in *Click* *Click* *Click* sobrang tuloy-tuloy kuha niya kay Kris while Cambio was playing :P

+ It was great seeing the bands and listers again! Thanks to Klara and Leigh for offering me a seat at their table :) Kaso knowing me, I usually go in and out and around the place to take pics and stuff hehehe. Nice seeing the Revo people too - Cris, Nato, Jmi, Juana. Sino pa ba?

+ Astig, nakausap ko si Mike D ng sandwich. Was finally able to buy a sandwich shirt. At kagabi ko lang nalaman na Manresa* boys pala yung Teeth. And speaking of another Manresa boy - Wolfmann was there too!
*Manresa - this school in BF Homes, Paranaque where I attended Prep and Grade One. One famous alumna is Carmina Villaroel, hehehe.

+ Para sa mga fans ni Diego Mapa (ehem):



Hehehe, Diego and I were introduced to each other by Brutal Grace at Wolfmann's album launch a year ago, so I highly doubt he remembers me. But anyway, nagkatabi kami sa bar, and remembering some special requests for a Diego pic, I whipped out my camera, smiled at him, and said, "Hi, can I take your picture?" Hahaha, kapalmuks nalang! And it was great 'cause he was kind and game enough for the pic :P

+ Now why was the night called Admit One Hit Wonders? That's because each band had to cover a song by some one-hit-wonder artist. Cambio did "Boys Do Fall In Love" (tama ba yung na-search ko? Beegees 'tong song na 'to?!), The Happymeals did "Ako'y Sa Iyo, Ika'y Sa Akin" by Iaxe (remade by some local boy group), Sugarfree did "There She Goes" by The La's (remade by Sixpence None The Richer), and sandwich did "Sikat Na Si Pedro" by the Philippine Violators.


Damn, I'm old - I know those songs! Well, except prolly for Sikat Na Si Pedro - I have an mp3 of that but I haven't really listened to it yet hehehe.

+ Teka, what did Twisted Halo cover...? Oh, THAT is a moment worthy of its own blog entry ;)


+ Pics from last night can be viewed here. Sorry I only have ONE sandwich shot, my bro arrived to pick me up na eh, hehehe.

+ My favorite shots for the night: the Dancel brothers (yet again)
