Save Me Hollywood Pre-Album Launch & Listening Party

Save Me Hollywood is coming out with their sophomore album in a few months' time and they're giving everyone a treat by playing their new songs in gigs!

Loved the interior at Treehouse and yeah you don''t
talk about Fight Club. 

Got to listen to a couple of their new songs when we attended Vanity Riots' acoustic set at Zili's but we got to listen to these songs in a full band during their album-pre launch and listening party at Treehouse House Tavern in Makati! 

First of all can I just say that I really, really loved the interior of Treehouse Tavern! It is Geek Galore! The walls were painted with famous movie characters (Fight Club -> one of our favorite movies) Stormtroopers incidentally I was wearing my Rebel Leia shirt, unfortunately wasn't able to take a photo with the framed and/or painted Stormtroopers on the wall-maybe next time. :)

I just have to say though that the second best thing that happened that night (the first of course was being able to catch Save me Hollywood) was getting to play in an old school arcade - the very first Street Fighter game! It was soooo cool and brought back a lot of memories and I'm proud to say that I beat everyone I went up against! My Dad would have been so proud :) 

The Battle of the Two Chun-Li's: Cristine Ang VS. Ica Cheng :P 

Another great thing about that f*cking night to remember was getting to hang out with our fellow Woodies / Hollies from the Save Me Hollywood Street Team. You guys can join our group also for event/gig updates and more! It's also a great way to get instant gig buddies ^_^ 

Going back to the music, Save Me Hollywood played their past singles, as well as the Myx 2015 Award Nominated Happier This Way which you guys can of course vote for ^_^

Notes. 

We also got to hear some of the new songs which will be part of their new album Yehey! 

Everybody Wants You - I'm really loving this song, it's really catchy and even if I've only heard it twice it's already stuck in my head. 

Give me one..Give me Two - Give me all of you...

Headlights is another new song which the band played, it talks about celebrating your weirdness and that it makes you awesome. Lead vocalist Julz Savard said that the song is about when you're in the headlights people tend to see everything that is wrong with you, while you don't see anything.

Hold Your Fire is actually an old song which the band wrote before but didn't make it in their debut album Your Story To Tell (album review here). The song will make the new album this time around and that's definitely a good thing :) 

 So many good things happening for the band - you guys better make sure to stay updated it's going to be a great year for a once unknown band but now, everybody will.

12 Stone Music Fest

Underneath the lights. Teddy Corpuz of Rocksteddy. 

Even the rains can't stop good music and this was very much evident during the first leg of the 12 Stone Music Fest which was held in Eastwood City last June 1, 2013. 

There has always been much talk and debate as to whether OPM (Original Pinoy Music) is dead or alive and with our continued appreciation for foreign acts, OPM will always have their guard up and it will always be a challenge when it comes to sales but with people behind 12 Stone Music still present and doing their part to promote Original Pinoy Music, OPM does stand a chance. 

12 Stone Inc. is a record label and independent talent management with the passion to bring Original Pinoy Music to a bigger stage and to a wider audience. The 12 Stone Music Fest is a celebration of music and the talent of genuine artists and musicians under the 12 Stone Inc. label and in my opinion it really was a music fest which started even before 6PM and ended well past 12MN. There were lots of great and talented bands, musicians and artists who performed. Not only was it a celebration of music but it was also a celebration of firsts as albums and videos were launched as well. Fans also got to meet and greet their favorite artists! :) 

Lovely Margo Midwinter - hosting the event. 

Perky Wasted - coz' I'm a conyoow from Ateneooow 

The event started out by featuring fresh acts and one of them really stuck to me and this was Perky Wasted - check out their Facebook page here. I loved their energy on stage and it really looked like they were having a lot of fun while they were performing.

I just loved their song 'Conyo from Ateneo' which poked fun at the traditionally stereotyped and probably misunderstood conyo.
