The Yellow Room Night: Freedom Bar

Declared Already 

Apologies for the late post, we had to deal with a full External Hard Drive so we had no space to put in the new photos, we spent a few days having to clean up the hard drive and organize files and files of folders of photos. So if anyone would like to donate or sponsor an external hard drive you know how to reach us! :P 

So last Wednesday was the Yellow Room Night. Blog post on the event announcement here. 

For us, it was a night of a lot of firsts, well for one, we've mostly covered band nights - events where local bands get to cover songs from established artists, mostly foreign; so it was our first time to cover an event that featured and showcased bands and musicians in their own light and in their own music. 

It was also our first time to cover an event in Freedom Bar in Anonas. :) Loved the nationalistic painting on the wall. 

First band up is Declared Already, fronted by pretty and cute voiced  Sheric whose vocals reminded me of the anime and Japanese songs I love. (Check out Judy and Mary - the band) Hey if they can get away with the cutesy voices why can't we right? It also reminded me of a first generation Moonstar 88. Their songs were very catchy too! Declared Already will also performing during Circa's video launch - watch out for blog posts on that! :P 

You can check out the video of their original song 'Rumors' here. 

Second band up was Trapeze who we already had the pleasure of watching during Fall Out Boy Night. Check out their song Kara Krus which I love! You can check out the video of their song 'Pero' (recorded in The Yellow Room of course!) here. 

Third band up was Vicente Couleur band, whose vocalist kind of looks like Taka of One Ok Rock, I loved the effects that they used in their songs. 

I'm really excited for Circa's upcoming video launch 'Habang Buhay' blog posts on that coming up soon! Each time I see them perform live it just establishes the fact that these guys are ready for bigger things.Make sure to check back on the blog for posts and updates on Circa ~ Especially since they are having their video launch on August 10!  

Paraluman 

Crowd favorite Paraluman (check out the shirt above) was also present during the Yellow Room Night!

Event Announcement: The Yellow Room Nights

The Yellow Room Night is an event celebrating the musicality of amateur and professional artists from The Yellow Room. 

You might be asking yourself 'What is the Yellow Room?' (Mental Image: Kill Bill) Well the Yellow Room is an independent Record Label and Studio that caters to both professional and amateur performers and musicians. 

The studio is owned by Monty Macalinao of Mayonnaise who also helps produce the songs recorded in the studio. 

Ever since Paramore Night III we have been following on the different artists from the Yellow Room and I must say that we really like them. I like the girls and Paul likes the boys---hmm wait a minute that did not sound right. Let me rephrase that -- I like the female fronted bands while Paul likes the male fronted ones. :P 

Our favorites include: Circa, Ferown, Paraluman, and it looks like the list is not stopping there since more and more talented artists are coming out with the help and guidance of The Yellow Room.  

Circa

Check out the Recording of their song 'Habang Buhay' in the video above.

Video launch for 'Habang Buhay' will be on August 10 at Route 196. 

Ferown

Check out the video of their song 'Asa' in the video above. 

Paramore Night V

It's all about the music. -Paramore Fans during Paramore Night 5

They say that love is sweeter the second time around so that only means that things can only get better the third time around right? Well things definitely got BIGGER and BETTER during Paramore Night 5 last May 11, 2013 at it's own home at Route 196. 

Aside from the amazing Mismo Productions who has been organizing the past Paramore Nights, Warner Music Philippines also played a hand in the event which is a significant step in the continuing evolution that is Paramore Night. 

Mouth watering prizes made its way through social media causing the baring of fangs and teeth among Paramore fans. Shirts from the Paramore Spring 2013 were up for grabs. As well as ballers from Warner Music. 

It's always fun to go Paramore Nights? Why? It's because of the people who go there - it really is a family without any pretenses, without the bull, it is in every definition a family brought together by their love for music and Paramore.

It was as if a foreshadowing took place at that moment when Monty Macalinao with Circa's cover of 'Best of You' by the Foo Fighters blared loud and proud during Paramore Night IV - it was just about time that 'Foo Fighters Night' would come along and this was definitely Paul's kind of 'band night'.  

Pinasikat.com which aims to be the central digital hub in the Philippines through video productions organized 'Foo Fighters Night' last April 27, 2013 at Route 196 in Katipunan where in local bands get to cover well loved Foo Fighters classics and also get to play current and new original music from them. 

Here are the bands who performed for Foo Fighters Night:

Whether it's Paramore Night or Foo Fighters Night - Circa can definitely make waves-we are big fans of Circa and we were also lucky enough to also get to hear their new song 'Tonight' which I really liked and I'm just excited to hear a studio version of it. :)
