"Indie Pop Muna Tayo"... Al's Bar...

"good evening, we're soft pillow kisses... indie pop muna tayo" that's one immortally funny line from the seldomly funny lead singer of our band... if you ask me, it was kind of a rock thing Apple had blurted out... natawa talaga kaming lima sa stage and i guess this helped out ease up a bit... we all were obviouly tired except for Rene who as always is the liveliest...

i think we did really well last night, we were so relaxed that we even had the confidence to play a song (cover) that we had just arranged the night before during practice... we weren't even loud that night which was surprisingly enjoyable...

we didn't get to finish the whole Tubby Trousers thing (Salamat nga pala kay Joe at dun sa nag pahiram ng snare sa amin) but i did enjoy sets from bands like Dayuhan and Breast Pump (ang galing galing ng bahista nila, sana ganung din kagaling si Maggot)... These bands needs to reach a wider audience...

that's that for now... here's a video from last night at Al's Bar... this is a cover fron The Lucksmiths...

Practice With Apple... And A Gig Tonight at Al's Bar...

for the first time in quite a very long spell, Apple was able to practice with us... it was like almost 3 weeks ago when she expressed her desire to quit the band due to commitment problems but i'm glad she changed her mind and decided to stick it out with us...

last night's practice was in preparation for recording our contribution to Sir Dale's Lucksmiths oompilation... i wish we could've had more time to prepare... we could have made a much more decent take on that song but we had to settle with easier choices... So it's going to be a shoegazy take on the Lucksmiths' "take this lying down"... hopefully we'll be able to record it this friday together with candyaudioline's take on "shipwreck coast" also from the lucksmiths...

that song ("take this lying down") took up most of our rehearsal time and because of this we weren't able to practice songs which we'll do on tonight's gig at Al's Bar... anyways, we know all of our songs and that's enough for us...

hoping for a nicer set tonight...

To Apple And Jann Paul... Choose One (Lucksmiths Cover) Version...

Pili kayo dito sa 2 version... Dennis and Rene likes the faster one ako naman undecided... si Jeff nga pala ng Candyaudioline yung pumalo sa 2nd version...

Eto yung 1st take, yung mabagal na version...


eto naman yung 2nd take na medyo upbeat...


Eto yung reference Apol...


Apple eto lyrics... nasa ibabaw nito yung reference medyo magulo kasi yung pagka kanta ko... ignore mo lang yung mga vibratos ha, hehehe...


Take This Lying Down

I was looking for something
To soothe your aching head
Where did I put the recipe for breakfast in bed?
Three days straight, drinking late
Sleeping on the fire escape
And in that nightie – a flaming sypmphony in red

From your window
There’s a breeze and there are views
There are trees and roofs
And streets with people on their way
On their way this afternoon
On their way but not a clue
That from the treetops they are begging you to stay

In bed today
In bed today
Rest assured, if you should ever feel the winter cold
Your comfortability will keep you warm when you get old

I invented something new
And if it’s all the same to you
I’d like to take some time and try it out
I’d like to try it out on you
Maybe you should take this
Maybe you should take this lying down...
