It was nice to come back to where it all began, 2 years ago on Paramore Night 3 was actually our first time to cover a local gig. Needless to say I'm a big Paramore fan and through the magic that was Social Media I got invited to the event. We came to enjoy a night of Paramore songs but came out falling in love with OPM. Two years and countless of local gigs later we went back to cover Paramore Night 16, I say come back because we've been absent for the last few Paramore Nights due to work schedules and what not so it was like a homecoming of sorts really. It was nice to see old faces and say hi to old friends.
It wasn't just Team PCheng who had a comeback on Paramore Night 16, local band favorites Mad Hatter Day and Circa both just came back from hiatus and performed to happy fans, who were glad that they were back.
On Sunday the next day, Mad Hatter Day teased fans with photos and posts on social media of the band going in the studio (The Yellow Room Recording Studio - in Ortigas) to record music. It's good knowing that this talented group is back to doing what they do best which is to kill at live shows and create awesome music - can't wait to see and hear what they have in store!
Paramore Night 16 was also special since Circa released their EP Skylights I got a copy and I loved it! Will he posting an EP review soon. You can also listen and get a copy of their EP on Spotofy, iTunes and Deezer.
When we go out on gigs, we love discovering new bands and for this particularl gig we were really impressed by Inday Bote. Their vocalist had an impressive voice and their songs were well written. Will definitely look out for this band.
Mayonnaise performed last and the crowd loved them, I think that they have a new secret weapon and no, it's not front man Monty Macalino's wit and charm since that has long been in the band's arsenal. Their secret weapon? Guitarist and Vocalist Maan Furio who sang the Paramore covers for the band. She's so cute with her glasses and shy demeanor you can just put her in your bag and judging by the way fans lined up for a photo op with her after their set I can see that they loved her too.
The highlight of the evening was when The Used In Manila tickets were raffled off. I almost won though since our number was just one less than the lucky number that was drawn :( So yeah cue in the tears.
Although we didn't score the tickets it was still an awesome night of music and seeing friends. It was a homecoming for many and I hope that we wouldn't have to wait too long for the next one.
