Fatboy Slim Live in Manila 2013 Concert Review


October 10, 2013 or technically October 11, 2013 at 1 A.M., Norman Cook a.k.a. Fatboy Slim pushed the tempo at the Republiq Club in Resorts World Manila!

One of the most sought-after DJs in the late 90's and beyond, it’s a dream come true to see and hear Fatboy Slim play in front on me. Seeing one fourth of the great new wave band the Housemartins is definitely a bliss! Flashbacks of my highschool days accompanied by blinker lights did help to condition myself for 2 hours of non-stop dancing to Fatboy Slim's house/electornica beats.

Some of the songs I recognized from his setlist:

Praise You
Eat Sleep Rave Repeat
Fucking in Heaven
Jack by Breach
B.Y.O.B. by System of A Down
I See You Baby by Groove Armada
Right Here Right Now
We Are Your Friends by Justice
Kids by MGMT
Star 69 (What The Fuck)
Jump Around by House of Pain
Gangster Tripping
Jump by Kriss Kross
The Rockafeller Skank
Praise You (Reprise) (Encore)


It could have been a blast from the past if he dropped off his ‘Aring king king king’ hit song “Magic Carpet Ride” when he was still called Mighty Dub Katz or included his remix of the Filipino Urban Music group Kulay’s “Burn” on the mix.

But all in all, I did have a great time and enjoyed every minute of it! 

Kudos to Republiq, World Wide Womb, And Driven Manila for bringing Fatboy Slim!

Check some clips I found on Youtube:

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
