No More Clowning Around, Let’s Get Payazo Out There!
.
October 27, 2018. That’s the first time I saw Payazo live. We were slated to play at Suazo for the Handuraw sa Baul gig. It was also the first time we got to share the bill with Tramonto and Tradecraft. Among the four bands, we were the least known. Heck, everyone was probably scratching their heads wondering who we were…

Three Fold Section – The First Band I Saw In Davao
.
Three Fold Section is the band you call upon to provide you with hours of entertainment. Although primarily a cover band, Three Fold Section has some compositions they’re working on as we speak. The band is lead by Jack who provides guitars and vocals beautifully. He is capably backed by Jay on drums and Jon on bass. Three Fold Section never runs out of…

Support The Band Thea! They Deserve It. ‘Nuff Said
.
Hey, support the band Thea. Done? Good! Why call on people to support a band that seemingly has already succeeded? Even though The Band Thea seems to have already gotten the mainstream attention that has eluded most bands in Davao, the continued support of everyone is still needed to keep the momentum of their success going. They’re currently…

Helen Has Fallen Is Steadily Rising
.
I knew my band was in trouble when this quintet took the stage. Helen Has Fallen entered the same competition that we were in and word on the street was that these guys were legit. They’d been doing the rounds, playing in the same places as we had… Gio’s Crib, Zero82 Lokal and everyone said the same…

Spooky Serna – A Haunting Sonic Experience
.
How many times have I written about Spooky Serna? How many times have I tripped out to their music? And how many times have I closed my eyes and just let them take me on a haunting sonic experience? I’ve lost count. There’s just something about the combination of Pedro’s steady pounding on the drums, Leo’s melodic solos…

Llamado O Dehado? Panalo Quadrado!
.
Llamado o dehado? Which band would you pick in a battle to represent you? I’d go for Quadrado. Who says Battle of the Band competitions are lame? Battle of the bands are oftentimes seen as cheap and easy ways for undeserving bands to gain recognition. Sometimes it’s also a way for overly qualified bands (especially…

Toad River – No Croakin’, Just Flowin’
.
There’s no denying that Toad River is powered by one man: Martin. He is the band as much as the band is what truly defines him as a person. The long list of musicians waiting to share the stage with him is proof of Toad River’s star power. When you see Toad River on the gig poster, you know it’s going to…

I’d Storm The Gates Of Hell With Die Glocke As My Soundtrack
.
The first time I saw Die Glocke was a moment of shock and awe. They came in, all four towering over everyone else like they were about to slaughter everyone in sight. Modern day Vikings came to mind. They took the stage and within seconds pummeled our ears into oblivion. Their music the perfect soundtrack to storm…
