July 2-3  We had a blast in Naga which turned out to be part vacation, part gig. Stayed at the Avenue Plaza Hotel, which is an excellent 4star hotel. Ate,slept,ate. Hosts were gracious and hospitable. Gig was good though the sound system was not exactly that great but overall, good gig and great weekend. Hopefully,we return with other bands on Terno in the coming months.

July 4  Back to Manila with a promo gig at Eastwood. Huge tarps and electronic billboard were awesome but the crowd weren’t so engaging, and somewhat dead if you ask me but Eastwood has always been hit or miss crowd wise so i’m not gonna lose sleep over it. Sleepwalk Circus and Musical O got their baptism of fire playing to a more mianstream audience as well and did good considering the ho-hum crowd.

July 8 Up Dharma Down (sells out..kidding;) joins Game Ka Na Ba for some fun and 2 Million pesos if they win. They did not last the first round. It’s all good though.  The sun will come out tomorrow;)

1. Sleepwalk Circus…taken from phone cam so don’t sue me.

2. You can’t see them in this picture but there were around 20,000 people in the audience. what you can clearly see though is armi sitting on a monobloc. the favorite chair for just about every gig and organizer in our country.

3. Sleepwalk Circus again just taken in  low light by a phone cam so a bit blurry. taken during the last May’s Inferno.

all i can say is listen to the album. it’s the best example of tipping the hat to Pinoy yesteryears and merging it with the more gritty yet cool side of underground soul, jazz, funk and jazz and you’ve got the distinctive sounds of Pasta Groove. Now available at all Fully Booked branches and at the various Terno Recordings gigs all over town.

get down on it.
