Post-The 1975 (Part 2)

When was the last time I posted using a physical keyboard? 

Anyway, you might be wondering why there's "Part 2" on the title of this post. Well, it's probably because I've seen the band who started the all-black bandwagon (after The Black Parade) twice already. The last time was two days ago, January 24th. Also, considering it's my second British band to see this 2015 (and my whole life?). 

The first time I saw The 1975 live was a free pre-show (at Ayala Malls). I predict it was made possible because of the band gaining a lot of fans all-throughout the Philippines, like a market experiment. In short, a pre-show for the main massive concert with ticket prices that made us all cry. Also, if it was your first time to listen to them during their free gigs around the Metro, you'll easily fall for this 4-piece band. Dude, they're beautiful gods with British accents.

Dan Smith running circles... (Bastille in Manila)

January 5, 2015.

A very happy new year, indeed! I attended my first concert for 2015. 

First of all, I'm certain that this concert-craze life of mine would be an annual tradition. I've been to a lot of concerts throughout last year and hopefully this year too. It's like being a habitual outgo. It's really my source of fun. 

Most people started their semesters last 5th, my uni did, however my class schedule started last wednesday and so I attended Bastille's Manila gig and also did a lot of fun after the concert itself. 

If you're a lazy-ass (like me) you might find walking from World Trade Center to Taft-Buendia really tiring and risky and instead take the cab. Well, I was literally thinking that the same, especially during post-concerts. I'm such a concert whore and I literally dance and groove to the music like Taylor Swift. Jumping, stomping, head-banging, etc. and lose all my energy after the fun. 

BRF 3

I don't know if it's just me, or what I'm currently feeling is psychological.

It's been almost a month since the third year of annual Bazooka Rocks Fest. So far, the only two-day made possible one, of course, by Pulp. Though, I don't know how to remember every detail on those two nights of my life, just pure happiness and I could say, the best gift I've ever given myself. Plus, booze stubs, one of the best sisigs and flying giveaways. 

We're like fireworks and symphonies

That was expectedly mild than the last show I attended at Skydome.

WE THE KINGS. If you're going to ask me of how I find this band, it's totally different from the usual bands that I listen to. They are more of a pop and totally popular to most teenage girls or women. I find their music softly hitting you with lyrics, it is mushy, upbeat, and a mild eargasm - not too heavy on instruments. A fact of saying that they are not my favorite band of all, but it is the music that I dig to. I am just a fan of this artsy stuff of vocals and instruments put in together, and WTK was one of those who caught me off guard with their slippery lyrics and melodies. 

The 1975 Experience

Maybe 2014 would be my collective year of concerts and gigs. It seems like my liberty as a music enthusiast has just begun. Well, eversince January 2014, I've never missed any of the shows that put my stoke on high. It was like drug that keeps me in trance.

Darn, I've been using too much stoke and trance in my sentences.

March 28th, Friday. 7 pm. Glorietta Activity Center. If I am gonna recall The 1975 in Manila, that would probably be the significant details I should remember and definitely, I can already reminisce through that. 

It's starting now...

At the Barricade with Mayday Parade

Before every memory fades, I'll contain everything that I can remember from the last night I had with Mayday Parade. The night when I really felt and experienced the effects of mosh to my bones, and almost cried whilst singing to their heartfelt lyrics. They were one of my favorites. The best set I've ever been to!

Yesterday, March 8th of 2014, Mayday basically wrapped up their Monsters in the Closet Tour. What's really unforgettable about this one, their last stop was in Manila (Philippines). Tom Falcone took a shot last night and posted it on his instagram and official Mayday accounts. I was on that group pic, though the members were blocking me. I was behind the barricade and still posed (though I know I won't be seen). 

Bruised

January 12, 2014. The date when I almost committed myself to John Cornelius. But, I was out of my mind to waste my seconds to a typical "how are you?" convo and not of marriage. Lol, that would make me a creeper even more. Here's the story goes...
