Just Like The Sky!!!

hellooo...

i'm happy to let you know that i already have with me the mastered "just like the sky" album... although it was not the actual output i was expecting. just the same, i'm pretty pleased with the way it has turned out... it sounds bit polished i guess but raw-ness of the songs are still there...

13 tracks in all... my personal favorites are "16ft", "beneath the glare", "try to smile", "vodka ice #3", "taste like vintage wine", "so-called friend", "bean bag" and 'losing something"...

expect this to be out in a month's time...

gig

we had a nice gig last night, but i learned a very important lesson: don't let eloha drink too much.

1 eloha + 2 vodka concoctions = chaos

hello everyone

soft pillow kisses have had two great gigs during the past few days… the one in 70’s bistro last Monday was a big surprise because we didn’t expect us to sound so good. For the last few stints he had at 70’s, we always complain about how sparse we sound because of the venue’s set-up. But last Monday, it was like a different venue… the sound was all over the place which made us feel so relaxed and confident… our song “try to smile” got a real push that night thanks to the neat reverb effect of the mics…

last night naman, we played at gweilos libis for a 4AD event organized by guys from Skies Of Ember… this one we really enjoyed because aside from the really nice PA set-up and the classy feel of the place, there were lots of really pretty faces around… we started our set on a high note with “so-called friend” then slumped a bit during a pixies cover. But after that it was all skywards until the last song “losing something”…

we didn’t stay long but we did get to catch my science project who played before us and a few songs from skies of ember who I may say was really awesome that night… it’s great to see these guys in top form again…

I can’t post the rest of what happened but just to give you an idea… we were all smiles about it… ngeeeerrheeeerreeeeerrrgheerk…


tomorrow, we will be at it again at conspiracy for a semi-acoustic gig with moonstar88 and come saturday will be buzz night... if you're free, do drop by...

Recording Updates and Pillow Gigs...

hello everyone...

we are still waiting for an opportunity to have the songs remastered... i was able to talk to dominic (pink noise engineer) this afternoon regarding the adjustments that will be made with regards to the "sonic" output of the songs...

i have recently sent copies to 2 major record labels but as of late, they have still to give their comments on the album... one of them have already listened to the album and guess have undergone preliminary deliverations... the other label promised me to give it a listen this weekend... actually i'm getting tired of waiting. if only i did not spend such a large sum for this project, i'd rather have released it elsewhere pero hindi naman ako mayaman at kailangan ko mabawi ito somehow... oh well, i guess i have to consider my 2nd option of releasing it myself...

by the way. we had practice last night in preparation for 2 gigs next week. one at 70's bistro this coming monday and another one at gweilos libis also this coming tuesday. the libis gig is a 4AD thing. we'll be doing a cover from the pixies "wave of mutilation". actually we have tried to do a different take on the song but i guess such is a very difficult thing to do... we'll have another practice session this coming saturday or sunday. hopefully we get to do it right this time and add another cover, maybe a pale saints song...

hope everything goes well for us in the next few days and also we get to put out the "just like the sky" album in the shortest possible time...
