hello everyone...
Just found time to post something worth posting...
last Wdnesday, Candyaudioline was suppose to play a gig somewhere in Malabon but at the last minute is was moved to yestereday... i decided to let Soft Pillow Kisses play having in mind Elaine (Candyaudioline Singer) or Apple (Road-Star-Manager) do the fronting... But both were not available and Lara was always out of reach...
I really had to scrap that one... But Rene wanted to play so i didn't cancel and waited for something positive to happen...
I just so happened that i booked a recording session for Candyaudioline on the date of the Pillow Gig... But a day before, both Candy-members Dennis and Kel has already committed themselves to their other band's gig's...
I was able to convince Charles and Jann Paul to record our one-year-old new song "The Louder You'll Know"... But i told them that if there was someone who'd sing for us, we'll push thru with the gig after a quick trek to the studio... I was able to gaet a hold of Lara and she said she'd love to session for us...
So this was the plan... Record 4 songs in 3 and a half hours focusing on the drums only, then rush to the gig and feel resurrected... but this was what happened... our sched at the studio got moved to an hour late (from 8pm it became 9pm) so we only had 2 and a half hours to record... worse, Jann Paul was obviouly out of it but he did tried hard... with just one hour to go and only a song (drum tracks only) recorded, i decided to finish the session abruptly but first we had to record "Louder" live so that we'd use it as a study... but during this song, Jann Paul seemed to have gotten back his timing and Rhythn but time wasn't on our side... after a few over dubs on "Louder"... we left at around 12:15am in a rush so we could get to Valenzuela before 1am... But i got a call from the venue that they're closing already since the crowd already left... i told him that we'd love to perform in front of empty seats but he won't let us... weird coz it was only 1am and it was too early to close on a Saturday evening... i tried calling some contacts so that we could at least gate crash at a gig and it was only Joeford from 9 Mile who let us play... Stupid of me, i didn't even bother to ask him as to what sort of a production it was... We were really in high spirits upon reaching 9 Mile but just as soon as me, Lara and Rene got out of Lara's van, we were greeted with a loud demonic growl from one of the bands who were just starting to perform... Rene and Lara didn't bother to rush in side the venue but i did so to my surprise, it was a Heavier-Than-Hell's-Metal affair... My White Polo Shirt, Ripped Maong Shorts and Shiny Greasy head was no match to the Sea of Black Shirts and Multiple Metal Hair convention in front of me... i went out of the venue really laughing at myself and was quite amused at how Rene was begging me not to throw ourselves into the bowels of HELL... You should have seen Charles' face when he learned of the bands performing... still we did get to enjoy the night eating near the venue talking about lots of things related to Pillow...
Charles will be out for a long time... Jann Paul will stay with me and Rene... and that's good news... Dennis and Kel of Candyaudioline will always be the next option... Lara wants to session for a while before she leaves for Dubai in a month and a half's time... Everyone likes Apple but i have my doubts too since she's really someone who likes to do lot's of things...
Have you heard of Superminty? Eto kami...
