Admit One @ saGuijo Cafe+Bar, 03/19/05

Last week was . . . toxic . . .

Sooo glad I was able to end it with another rockin' ADMIT ONE at saGuijo Cafe+Bar! Some pics from last Saturday...


Lyle of Moyg. One of my favorite shots for the night.


Doc of The Brew. These guys definitely rock! Proudly Pisay ;)


Mitch of Sugarfree. Ang bago kong crush sa banda hehehe :D


Juana Salcedo. Astig na bata 'to! She's just 15 but she definitely rawcks! I gotta hear more of her stuff ;) (Abangan si Juana sa mga susunod na Revolver Prods! Hehehe...)

The singing Dancels. Mga iniidolo ko sa local scene ngayon. These guys and gal simply rule!


Vin of Twisted Halo. Vicious when guitar-free.


Kris of Cambio. Roam if you want to, roam around the world...


Ebe of Cambio/Sugarfree. Awww, ain't he just cute? ;) (What can I say? Papable yung tatlong Sugarboys eh :D )

More pics here.

Here's one song I'd love to see in the Midnight Countdown:

MIRON, Twisted Halo

di ka ba titigil…
sa kahahabol
ng pangarap ng ibang tao para sa iyo?…
whoah…
san ka ba titigil?
Kelan ka ba titigil?
Sabi-sabi….sabi-sabi…

Di ka ba titigil…
Sa pagmamasid na lamang?…
kelan ka ba sasalang?…
Di ka aantayin ng mundo…
Iikot ng iikot ito…
Di ba nakakagigil?…
Labis-labis…labis-labis…

Hanggang kailan mo ba kayang dalhin?…
Hanggang kailan mo ba daramdamin?…
Hanggang kailan magtitiis?…
Hanggang kailang magtitiis?…
Magtitiis..?

Effect of the Doppler Effect

This Doppler Effect has got me obsessing over the bands again, darn it. O eto, 8 folks in the local music scene today I am honored to have met (can anyone say hero-worship?).

In no particular order:

Buddy Zabala - Isa siyang henyo ng musika, and yet he maintains a very unassuming aura. It's like being around him is such a humbling experience.

Raimund Marasigan - The busiest of bees never seems to run out of adventures to take and new roads to follow. A professional musician to the core. His motto is probably "Carpe Diem!"

Myrene Academia - One of the NU DJs of old that I miss. Laid back rocker chick with a cool, smooth voice. Lady bassist of two great bands, too!

Aia de Leon - She's cute, sexy, nice, and has a devastatingly beautiful voice quite unmatched by any other vocalist out there today (except possibly Ebe Dancel, but we'll get to him later...)

Marie Jamora - She's a film director, a drummer, and a singer too! What else can't she do?

Kris Gorra-Dancel - Cool lass with a distinct sense of style. She's unafraid to be who she is, and she firmly holds her ground as the lone she-wolf in a pack of five. Basta, astig siya.

Ebe Dancel - With such heart-wrenching lyrics delivered by equally heartbreaking vocals, what's not to love about this guy? Dagdag pogi points pa ang glasses effect, hehehe.

Vin Dancel - Genius of a songwriter, and an explosively intense performer. If there's one person I would credit for my love of local indie music, it's gotta be Manong Vin. His passion and conviction is just so inspiring, I can't help but join the cause he persistently upholds - Independensya!

The Doppler Reverb

Got these great pics from my friend and batchmate Jaemark.


Pisay98's very own Christi (formerly NU107's Sydney) does hosting duties with NU107's Trish.


Giniling Festival's Jeje. I particularly love this shot, astig ang kuha ni Jae :P


Vin of Twisted Halo. Ganda ng shirt niya noh? :D

Just viewed the Doppler tapes. Saka ko lang napanood set ng Sugarfree hehehe. Grabe, ang saya nung tugtog nila :)

And then I watched Cambio's set tas sabi ko, "Teka, Kris wasn't wearin those funky earrings when I saw her later that night..." Eh yun naman pala, ipinamigay sa audience ang kanyang mga abubot (bracelet, hikaw) while singing Patlang. Hehehe, astig.

And of course pinanood ko rin ang set ng minamahal kong Twisted Halo. Sobrang ka-intense, what with a guitar-free Vin thrashing about onstage. A whole new animal unleashed. Panalo. Sayang lang wala sa footage yung Public Service Announcement.

What is The Doppler Effect?

Ayon sa Encyclopedia Britannica Online:

Doppler Effect - Apparent difference between the frequency at which waves—including light, sound, and radio waves—leave a source and that at which they reach an observer.

The effect, first described by the Austrian physicist Christian Doppler (1803–1853), is caused by the relative motion of the observer and the wave source. It can be observed by listening to the blowing horn or siren of an approaching vehicle, whose pitch rises as the vehicle approaches the observer and falls as it recedes. It is used in radar and to calculate the speed of stars by observing the change in frequency of their light.


Ayon sa Samahan ng mga Manunugtog ng Pisay (SaMaPi):

Doppler Effect - This is what takes place when 15 kick-@ss bands throw one helluva party at the Open Field of Philippine Science High School along Agham Road in Diliman, QC.

An event that should not have been missed, this occurrence is apparently the first of its kind in the history of SaMaPi and maybe even of Pisay itself.

The following photograph attests to the occurrence of such a groundbreaking event. This, however, is a mere echo of what actually occurred last 12 March 2005. If you didn't experience the Doppler Effect in the flesh, well, then this would have to do.



For a more graphic representation of the said phenomenon, please refer to the photo archives*


* Hahaha, didn't get to take much pics actually, as I was pretty toxic during the first half of the show, going around to check if everything and everyone was doing fine :P
