under the carillon bells

So it is the leap day of the year and Manila is very lucky to have one of New York's best indie bands: The Pains of Being Pure at Heart! The band was formed in the year 2007 and is composed of the following current line-up: Kip Berman – vocals and guitar Peggy Wang – keyboards and vocals Alex Naidus – bass Kurt Feldman – drums I was able to listen to the band since 2008 when I discovered their music along side Filipino shoe gaze band: Moscow Olympics! I was checking up and coming bands around that time and discovered their lush/ Jesus and Mary Chain type of music. I encountered a blog that the band mentioned that they were able to find good music from other parts of the globe like Moscow Olympics from the Philippines. I was amazed and the same time was honored by them recognizing our local act. I was lucky to get their first self titled album from one of the CD sales in town last year.

L-R: Carpenter; Vega; Moreno; Delgado and Cunningham (Below were the details of my experience watching and meeting one of the best bands in the world: Deftones a year ago, Feb 12 & 16, 2011) “Hey, your band was the most relevant band that came out from the late 90's” I said. “Wow, thanks man. I really appreciate it” replied by a stunned Abe Cunningham. Its been a year after I've watched and met Deftones! I can still say it is still lingering in my head! It was and is still the most important music event in my life! I am a Deftones fan since their album Around the Fur around 97. I was not a fan yet until I saw the video of My Own Summer on MTV.

(Check my previous post about Deftones) Fast-forward. Suggesting to the organizers that Deftones are in Australia
