Vincent Moon is wonderful. Takeawayshows is magnificent.
I saw the girls of Miami come out of Gweilo’s doors (Club Dredd is located on top of Gweilo’s), about two hours before they performed. Petite ladies, they just trekked outwards of the Eastwood City area, not stopping for anything, not speaking to each other. Vastly different from the characters I saw on their Youtube videos, though they were ultimately a lot cuter in person.

Last Friday: Sampaguita Tribute Album/Miami in Manila, Part 2
So before I forget, let me tell the handful of you reading here what I did last Friday.
It was my off from work, and I had two gigs I intended to shoot: the Bagong Banda: Awit Ni Sampaguita Tribute Album Launch, and the Club Dredd of electro-jpop duo Miami. Both will be held in Eastwood City, literally around 50 steps away from each other.

I wasn’t all too familiar with the bands for the first gig, but seeing Paramita on the roster made up for it. However, after telling a friend I was going, he got me an update if Sampaguita will show up as promised: she wasn’t. This was apparent doom for the concert, but if a good number of people will be watching, I don’t think it would be an issue anyhow.

Please pass on the info. Thanks!
Taken By Cars
It has been a long time since I bought a real-deal audio cd, but I just did last Saturday.
It was the second leg of the Taken By Cars: Endings of a New Kind Bar Tour, at Route 196 in Katipunan Ave., QC, and I did intentionally plan ahead for the gig. Oh yeah, having Duster on the band roster surely helped.
