CHINA CRISIS LIVE IN MANILA Part 2!!!

English new wave duo China Crisis will be back in Manila!

They came here in Manila last 2002 for a one time concert only but here they are again, back to our new wave loving country!

After the successful concert of Tears for Fears last May, this would be a great follow up for all kids of the 80's. 

Consists of vocalist/ keyboardist Gary Daly and vocalist/guitarist Eddie Lundon, the band, hailing from Liverpool, Merseyside was one of the successful bands in the 80's. They were able to release 6 albums and generate hits like "Black man Ray" "African and White" "King in a Catholic Style" and "Wishful Thinking"

The venues would be at Eastwood Mall Open Park on January 21, 7pm and at the Venice Piazza at McKinley Hill on January 22, 8pm.


After the Lotus Eaters concert almost 8 years ago, they were the next new wave act who opened the gates for more 80's bands to visit Manila like Gene Love Jezebel, A Flock of Seagulls, Duran Duran, and Tears for Fears.


I was not able to watch them last time but I am sure that I won't let this pass. And the greatest part is that the concert is absolutely free! This is courtesy of Eastwood Mall!!!

I am sure this concert would serve a great flashback down the memory lane and would be a joyful evening to remember!

Check out their video, Wishful Thinking:



Update:

And their live performance in our local noon time show, Eat Bulaga last January 20, 2011:


And another one from ASAP Rocks last January 16, 2011:

Since JaeDee removed her article from her blog, most likely because NU107 Execs want her lips sealed, I will repost her article for the viewing public... News Goose’s Final Report: NU107 is Closing Down!

This is jaeDee the NewsGoose with some shocking news for rock fans in Metro Manila… The one and only rock station in town – NU107, The Home of NU Rock – will soon be the Home of NO ROCK! That’s right, I’ve received information from three reliable sources, all part of NU107′s inner circle, that the radio station will finally say goodbye to it’s rock image and shift to a ‘masa’ pop sound under new management. The reason for the image change was reportedly a financial decision on the owners’ part. The transformation won’t be overnight though. According to one of my sources, starting this November the

Concert Recall: Lotus Eaters Live in Manila

Concert Recall: Lotus Eaters Live in Manila August 3, 2002 Rockwell Club Tent. The Lotus Eaters: Jeremy Kelly and Peter Coyle / Early Years I was trying to recall all the concerts I have attended for the last few years. Being gulity on not attending the following concerts here in Manila: Rage Against the Machine, Pearl Jam, Cranberries, Beastie Boys, Sonic Youth and Foo Fighters, I need to start my blood thirst concert viewing ASAP! One of those memorable concerts that I attended to was the concert of the 80's new wave band: The Lotus Eaters. This would be my first foreign artist concert I watched here in Manila and the first new wave band I saw live in the Philippine shores. I was aware of the band since the late 80's because of their songs were played on cassette tapes and vinyl by my elder brother and sister. Their songs were also in heavy rotation on the radio station 89 DMZ. There were only 3 Lotus Eaters song I knew of: "The First Picture of You",&

Deftones - To Have and to Hold

Image
It is destined to be... ...Like Nostradamus foreseeing the future of rock concert scene in Singapore and Manila!  After seeing their tour list on their website last October that Deftones will have an Australian tour and Perth is the last city in February 2011, it was strategically correct that there is a big chance that they are going to push for an Asian tour. I posted on twitter and FB that “I smell Deftones live in Manila in February 2011!” I have suggested the possibility of bringing Deftones here in Manila to few organizers and one of them answered my prayers: Splintr.com, the same group who bravely brought the 90’s Premiere Industrial Rock Band Nine Inch Nails here in Manila. Bringing Deftones to Manila is the biggest follow up concert indeed from NIN.  And LAMC Productions will also bring Deftones in Singapore on February 16, 2011. I imagine this event as a gigantic fire cracker from the recent Chinese New Year to hit Singapore!!! (Really hopi
