THE RADIO DEPT. LIVE IN MANILA!!!



HOLY JESUS OF NAZARETH!!! I can't believe this! I thought their Asian tour last year will be the last time we would be able to see them live!!! Good thing I was wrong!!!

Thanks to Kindassault, Sweden's indie dream pop combo The Radio Dept will grace our shores this April 20! Not only that, their front act is no other than the critically renowned Filipino indie dream pop shoegaze band - Moscow Olympics! What a double treat!!!

Pet Grief is one of my favorite albums and is still on heavy rotation in my MP3 player since 2009, along with Moscow Olympics' debut album. Currently, The Radio Dept has a new album out, "Passive Aggressive," a compilation of their singles and B-sides. Their last studio album was "Clinging to a Scheme" which was released 2010.

I hope I can get my CDs signed and also get to interview them!

So Boys and Girls, see you on the 20th!!!

Whether by design or evolution, The Radio Dept’s third album fits the grand scheme of all things voguish and hazy rather perfectly – NME

"Clinging to a Scheme quickly proves that we’re safe as ever in the Swedish outfit’s slow-to-create, yet intent-on-perfection hands." - BBC

NU 107 IS DEAD!!!

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! October 24, 2010 by  adventuresofabeautyqueen 7 Votes jaeDee the NewsGoose of NU107 from the 90's to the early 2000'sUPDATE: UPDATE:  NU Closing Down on Nov. 7? Good morning guys! 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

Image
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
