Smash Project: The Biggest Concert Team Up This Side of Town!!!





All the emo kids and broken hearted people of the early 2000s will finally rejoice for the biggest and the baddest concert of the year: Smash Project featuring the Used, Dashboard Confessional, Cobra Starship and the Cab!!!

I believe this is the most star studded band line up since 1996's Alternative Nation Tour in Manila featuring Sonic Youth, Foo Fighters and Beastie Boys.

Dashboard Confessional 
And to gear up my emotions, I missed the last Dashboard Confessional concert for 10 minutes, yes 10 freaking minutes because of EDSA Traffic!!! I was able to watch Cobra Starship at Alabang Town Center when they were still promoting their debut album, pretty rad! So this will be the first time I will be able to see the Cab and the Used. And I am very excited to see the Used!

The Used
It will be a time space warp to 2001-2003 for me to listen again to the music of the Used and also their contemporaries Dashboard Confessional. The Used singles "Blue and Yellow," "The Taste of Ink" and "Buried Myself Alive" were the anthems of my emo college life. Bert McCracken's appearances in the Osbournes series also made me a fan. (He was Kelly Osbourne's BF). The Used emerging on that era was very timely and they were able to gather fans because of their heartfelt "emoness", if there was a term. Their previous album offerings became more experimental for the band. But the glorified days of emo will definitely have The Used as one of its purveyors.

Dashboard Confessional = Screaming Infidelities. The song that struck my lonely heart then. (hahaha) But there was redemption and I got "Vindicated." Hopefully, it will be really a vindication to watch and meet them on March 8. And like what Bart Simpson (NOT Bert McCracken) said: "Ay, caramba!" See you soon Chris Carrabba!!!

The Cab
 It will be my first time to hear and watch The Cab live and I think they are a very promising band based from what I saw on their videos.

Cobra Starship
And of course, Cobra Starship will make us all very bad and they will surely bring the house down with their pop dance rock!!! I hope they bring Leighton Meester here!!! hehe

Adding more emotional pain before the trauma are local greats Urban Dub, Typecast, Chicosci and Slapshock!!! What a treat!!!

So I expect this concert as most emotional concert ever in the local land! (all crying and screaming fans - girls and boys, me included haha). Enjoy the show!!!

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!!! (Re...
