Paramore Night 8

Thrilling Trio Estrella 

When You already been going to an event that happens every few months or so(which is the case for Paramore Nights).  You might think that 'Nothing new is going to happen' or 'You've seen everything that could possibly happen.  But recently concluded Paramore Night 8 proved this to be wrong.

Being present since Paramore Night 3, I was still pleasantly surprised to witness a selfie stick in a moshpit, witness more amazing OPM bands (get to listen to quality  songs) and get some more haw dropping stage performances.

This Paramore Night was also extra special for me since my band - The Pearl Report was included in the lien up.  So there was that extra nerves working up in (me) and butterflies in my tummy.  Thankfully we were able to it through our set without making a mess or losing face.

Paramore Night 8 revisited one of its former venues, former Freedom Bar in Anonas, which is now District 2140. I did write about (in my previous Paramore Night 7 blog post) about the current status of bars in the Metro having to close up. So seeing a historical bar having to close and go through new management was literally truth staring you in the face. 

Selfie Mosh with Veridea

Just glad that the venue is still a bar, where bands can still play music. It was just sad to see the once famous mural blank and white with only a few pieces of art drawn on them. Well at least there's space to make new art and memories right? 

My band The Pearl Report opened the show and shared the stage with other parawesome bands chosen from The Paramore Philippines Group like Juancho's Back, Veridea and Starecase.  

But aside from that the night was also extra special because it was also the Album Buyout for our beloved Mayonnaise's new album Tayo Nalang Dalawa :) There were prizes and surprises for the event attendees and every body went home a winner with the great music, the company of good old friends and also the pleasure of meeting new ones.

Can I just add that I loved the original songs of the band Estrella, led by Paramore fan Chin-Chin Detera, they were very well written and the delivery was smooth as ice! Hoping they get featured on Amplify PH soon :) 

Going to Church with The Morning Light

A lot of people have been clamoring for the band Android 18 (Dragon Ball fans I would presume) to be part of Paramore Night-and for good reason. Their energy on stage was amazing! All that jumping and headbanging is enough to give enough a stiff neck and a sprained ankle. 

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!

Fall Out Boy Night

If you guys are following the blog or following me on Twitter or are friends with me on Facebook you would probably agree that I have been blogging/posting/tweeting about Fall Out Boy Night for some time already. 

While we have covered a number of different 'band nights' or 'specialty nights' as Kuya Monty would put them, Fall Out Boy Night was a bit more special to me since I had a hand in helping organize the event. (Allow me a little 'blow my own horn' moment here :D) I helped a bit with band line up as well as gathering sponsors for the event and even hosted the show. (I did a lot of hosting back in College so it was nice to be able to get to relive that again. :D)

Yuko starting things off with a bang! 

Band Nights are always fun because the crowd is just wild! They sing back to the songs that they love and they sing it with such fervor. There's also a lot of clapping, jumping, dancing, slamming - it's just crazy, crazy fun. Even if you come in the bar not knowing the people, you would definitely come out having gained new friends literally partied with people who love the same music as you do.

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.
