BLOC PARTY LIVE IN MANILA!!!


[UPDATE: YOU CAN CHECK MY CONCERT REVIEW HERE: 
http://underthecarillonbells.blogspot.com/2013/03/concert-review-bloc-party-live-in.html]

 Eight years ago, they were touted by music critics as the new 'The Clash' / 'Gang of Four' prototype band of this generation. But I believe that they have already carved out their own names in music history.
British Indie Rock band Bloc Party will be performing in the Philippines for the first time this March 22, 2013, 8PM at the World Trade Center Hall D, Pasay City.

 The band is composed of Kele Okereke on vocals/guitar, Russell Lissack on lead guitar, Gordon Moakes on bass guitar and
Matt Tong on drums.

 Bloc Party released their critically acclaimed first album "Silent Alarm" in 2005 which brought the hits 'Banquet" , "Pioneers", "Two More Years", and "Helicopter."

 Bloc Party - 'Banquet'

Last year, they released a new album simply called 'Four' as their fourth album with singles 'Octopus' and 'Kettling'.

 Check out their new fan made video of the song "Truth"

Expect a 20 song set list from them based from their current tours:


1) So He Begins to Lie 
2) Mercury 
3) Hunting for Witches 
4) Like Eating Glass 
5) Team A 
6) Real Talk 
7) Waiting for the 7.18 
8) Song for Clay (Disappear Here) 
9) Banquet 
10) Coliseum 
11) Day Four 
12) One More Chance 
13) Octopus 
14) Montreal 
15) V.A.L.I.S. 
16) This Modern Love 
17) Flux 
18) Ares 
19) Truth 
20) Helicopter 

 I got 3 CDs (Silent Alarm, Silent Alarm Remixed, A Weekend in the City) and 2 digital albums (Intimacy & Four) of Bloc Party.

I hope they will play 'Pioneers' and we hope this "WILL NOT BE THE LAST" for us to see Bloc Party play here in Manila.
This event is brought to you by Warner Music Philippines, Hostess Entertainment Unlimited and YNOS with major sponsors Star World Philippines, Fox Philippines and Pony Philippines.

 Ticket Prices:
P3800 (VIP)

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

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
