11.11.11

We landed at The Collective at around 7:30 pm. Before doing anything, we stopped by to have our dinner at a ramen house also inside The Collective.
After that, we went to Vinyl on vinyl gallery for the exhibit of a graffiti artist named Ungga.

For most of people this is vandalism, they do not see how this kind of art transform a wall into an art piece, and that's what the event is all about. "His vision is to create art that society will accept. Armed with a spray can, a bucket of paint and a blank wall as his canvas"







 While we're inside VoV, it started to rain heavily, so we have no choice but to stay there and wait for the rain to stop so we can go to our next destination. Utter Dissent, at Kalye Art Gallery.

When the rain stopped, we walked all the way from Makati, to Singalong.

When we arrived, i saw the Ivan of Coche Bomba, already taking a rest. Badly, we were late.

So to treat myself, fetched 450 pesos from my pocket and got myself a shirt and cd  of Coche Bomba, and had them signed. A very good deal.
It's not that bad after all, we had more time to enjoy the artworks of 50 punk artists. 4 of them are from Batangas. Tano Panaligan, Ren Quinio, Regen Mulingtapang and Felix Rosales.

Thanks Ralph Quijano and Angelo Fan and CRAPSALAD for covering the event..

Utter Dissent (Open Exhibit)

These event will happen on

@ Kalye Art Gallery
1220 Estrada Street
Singalong Manila

"In its small way, this exhibit is an attempt to ram at the gates of general assumption. Closer to the heart of hardcore/punk, and counter to academic junk imposed by institutions, “the kids” present upon themselves, in the manner of their choosing, the picture of their time and place."

Earth Decay 2011

Hardcore, Indie and Punk fest

October 29 2011, Saturday

Lion's Club Hall, Sampaloc Lake, San Pablo City, Laguna

Riddim Ites

Event: No Turning Back: Take Control Philippine Tour

In this day and age where hardcore bands come and go with the speed of light NO TURNING BACK are holding true to what they originally set out to do and they're not planning on giving up, ever. Starting out in 1997 as 16-year olds in the barren south-eastern parts of The Netherlands, music was their only means of venting their anger and frustration of not fitting in, in a world that seemed sick and cold to the bone. Since those days the band has come a long way.

 Driven by a merciless give-all-take-all attitude, No Turning Back have steadily been building an impressive career touring worldwide and became a household name in hardcore music, with an incredible back catalogue of five full length records, three MCDs, two split EPs and a 7'' EP. In 2006 the band put out HOLDING ON, marking a turning point in their career. Released on five continents on multiple labels, CD and vinyl, has propelled the band to new levels of relentlessness. . As their recognition continues to spread No Turning Back show no signs of slowing down. Leaning on the original NYHC sounds No Turning Back has evolved and developed their own signature grooves, fast breaks and massive sing along anthems. The sound that moves any crowd in any city in any country into a swirling mass of circle-pits, stage dives and huge sing a-longs. A split picture 7" with Strength For A Reasons was released on Filled With Hate Records this year and the band is confirmed for Europe's annual Persistence Tour. STRONGER!

"Not enough"

by Strength From Within


From the deception of being true 

Edward

Comes the release of poison 

Released through the grave 

Cleansing of soul & mind 

Not enough to convert 

Not enough

Dedication of hungry worms 

The oath that keeps you live in the chains of breed 

Clingin 2 what your exploited mind dictates 
Staring high 2 your doom of success 

Spoken: preliminary steps in the bliss of death 

Maintaining an image like an ignorant fool 

Product of rape that you  have adapt theres no glory 2 

hide your sinister craft

Gig review: PD album launching Lipa leg

At around 5pm, the place started to pack up, as I watch those couples who checks in at the motel located at the other side of the street while waiting for the show to start.

Koimeteria Clothing: SFW shirt sold

I can see the excitement on everyones faces, and at around 9pm, Hell broke lose as No Second Chances started off the event, and shit really got ultra violent so early.

              It was the first time I saw them perform and it was really a kick-ass set, and they were followed by Lockfist  who offered a riot-inducing set.

        Hood Elements happened to be the 3rd band of the night and they tore the place up. Following suit was the metalcore band from Batangas, Vagrant. 

After that I took time to check out Piledriver's Merchs, and I fetched 250 bucks from my pocket and I got a shirt with a free PD sticker. A very good deal. Minutes later, I saw one of my favorite band from Laguna already setting up, Forfeit, blasted 3 songs including "Bloodlust". 

Bodies flew, and also cans of sardines. :D Hell yeah! cans of sardines. Good thing it was returned to its rightful owner. 

Next up were also Laguna -based bands StandOut and WalkMeHome.

Strength From Within was next to perform and delivered 3 original songs, but the crowd didnt had enough as they all screamed for more. Rexon gave everybody what theyve been asking for and wrapped up SFW's set.

Then it was Piledriver's set.
They gathered the crowd and tested the capacity of the small venue, every hardcore kids squeezed into the place to watch PD perform. And they exploded in a non-stop barrage and the entire place literally blew up.

Gin captivated the audience with his passion and angst. Howell's powerful bass line was groundbreaking. Rodney proved that he is a killer guitar player, while Reggie punished the poor drums. It was totally mind blowing.

Towards The End capped off the night as Mel made sure everyone went home partially deaf.

Thanks to all the Hardcore Kids who came, Hermit Events and Edge Prod. To all the bands, especially Piledriver. Althought somebody almost got dragged away during their set.

The show was a success and it was surely a righteous way to signal the start of a new era here in Lipa.

Felix Rosales and his works

Recently, I was amazed by the stickers I saw on the streets of Lipa and I have no idea whose work are they, until Terry introduced me to his friend, Felix.

I don’t know much about Felix but this guy got some amazing stuff! Take a look at these pictures for some of his great works like stickers, shirt designs, canvas and  street arts. Interesting!

Lone Wolf will you ever find your pack?
