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;)

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.

the Terno Au Go Go days. The first to take out all tables and chairs inside Saguijo to enforce “all standing’ policy and to accommodate everyone which usually spilled onto the street outside. It was just quarterly then and every Au Go Go that came about drew roughly 300-700 for a place that could take in 100 standing! It was at the Au Go Go series that Up Dharma Down built their audience as well as the other young bands of Terno at that time
