A great acoustic set from Mad Hatter Day |
Albeit a bit challenging because of logistics, the bands were separated from the audience with an ongoing birthday/engagement party of sorts but that did not stop the crowd from cheering and singing along to their favorite local bands.

Up and coming local bands, Penguin, Mad Hatter Day, Faintlight and Save Me Hollywood performed cover songs from bands who will be performing on Bazooka Rocks such as All Time Low and Anberlin as well as performing their own original songs.
It was refreshing to see Mad Hatter Day and Save Me Hollywood to perform an acoustic set since we are used to their signature rock/pop-rock sound. We got to appreciate Mewa's vocal range more and Julz just looks super cute with all her energy even in an acoustic set. :)

The night was also made special by an improptu Rockaoke hosted by Rizza Cabrera. Make sure you check out her Youtube page here she does great covers and belts out like Adele. :) You can also follow her on Twitter: @cabreezzah
So what happens in a Rokaoke? - well it's basically an open mic where anyone can come up on stage and sing and you get a prize for it! (A Bazooka Rocks Poster from Pulp) One thing that I noticed is that when it comes to singing we Filipinos really don't let up! My boss from the US is amazed as to how we get each other to sing in front of other people, she says that is not the case in the States. I guess that just goes to show how Filipinos love music as well as singing.
Thumbs Up for a great prizes! |
