The decision to tie-up with UFO pictures to promote the Jade Castro film Endo was a gift that just keeps giving. Sa Madaling Salita has had a load of airplay on the radio, and the video for it is such a loveable work of art, reminiscent of the pitch that Jade made to UFO pictures when he was proposing his movie: love on a budget.
I really can't believe where the band is now, considering that we formed the band just to be part of a school project in UP Diliman. Hearing a song that we began recording almost a year ago on the radio is such a strange thing, I remember almost breaking down in the studio while laying down the main guitar track because the drums were too fast, good thing we weren't videotaping the documentary yet. Speaking of the documentary, we're nearly finished doing all of our "cribs" segments, haha.
Monday night, we had a practice, with the band learning songs for an upcoming gig: starship's "nothing's gonna stop us now" and the wannadies' "you and me song". We're also on the way to perfecting the live versions of some of the album tracks that we normally don't play live, as we performed tracks 1 to 7 of the album in order at our recent Admit One gig at Saguijo. Exciting. hehe.
The NBA is also exciting, with Jason Kidd in Dallas, and Pau Gasol in LA, the new Cavs, the Bonzi-Bobby Jackson trade for NO, and all the other trade deadline things. Can't wait for the playoffs. If i only had Basketball TV haha.
In other news, we're also playing at the upcoming one night only reunion gig of Narda, March 6th at Saguijo. We might try to do our version of the Narda track "Saan Na" written by the attorney, and possibly another cover if time allows. Also check out the gig at Saguijo this thursday, february the 28th. Kind Assault brings Miami to Saguijo, with supporting acts like Spazzkid (LOVE YOU MARK!) and my current favorite band TWIN LOBSTER. The lobster (pronounced "LOB-STAH") are amazing. See to appreciate. Shirley won't be playing but i'll be at the gig playing groupie to Nick Lazaro and co.
stay nice
owel
