SMASH Project 2012 Tonight!

Thursday, March 08, 2012

If you haven't got any plans for tonight, make sure you get some tickets to one of the biggest ROCK Concerts to ever grace the country. SMASH PROJECT 2012 will definitely give you one heck of an experience to see Dashboard Confessional, The Cab, Cobra Starship and The Used in the flesh! I had first dibs yesterday and it was CRAZY! I was like a fan all over again!

Pretty VJ from MYX hosted the event. She was really nice.


Yeap! That's Chris Carraba of Dashboard Confessional. He was so awesome in person and you won't feel that air between fan and rockstar when you are near him. Quite a nice bub. I asked him about the limited edition album and it looks like a gloomy day for me. It was really limited as in 500 pcs for the US alone. Wish I had that really.


He'll surely bring the house down with the hit single STOLEN. It's my personal favorite that's why you saw that in the post below this one =)


The USED. Let me just tell you... I had a ton and a half of laughs. GRABE Bert McCracken was a CHARACTER. It was really rowdy. I felt his excitement. This bit above alone was the time he was telling I LOVE YOU to everyone... especially the boys hahahah Man it was FUN meeting them!


They were really having fun even if they just arrived 2 hours earlier before this press conference happened. Their music as they say isn't EMO as anyone is implying. It's just ROCK and nothing else. They don't believe they belong to any group or genre. They simply just would like to make music and nothing else. If it's there turn to impress you at the Smart Araneta Coliseum I'm sure you'll have the same dose of what I had that afternoon.






I wasn't joking when I said he was having fun hahaha!




I'm sure you'll have a grand time listening to their more serious music! =) They simply left their former label because they were being screened and suggested a lot of stuff which will hamper their creative freedom. So they fired them LOL!


Okay ladies... don't tell me I didn't warn you!


THE CAB is here!



Yeap, I know... they were good looking eh?!




Their music influences include POP artists too so you can expect a lot more from The Cab come tonight. I'm sure you guys will have a lot of fun. Sorry I can't go I have work hehehe =)







Thank you so much to Dayly Entertainment, Dickies, everyone at Polyeast Records. Thank you so much for the chance to see these rockstars in the flesh. You guys have a grand time in the concert tonight! =)

Oh and as an extra treat, here's a video of the press conference :)

How can you pass this off when you hear band names like Dashboard Confessional, The Cab, Cobra Starship and The Used plus local bands Chicosci, Urbandub, Typecast and Slapshock heading the roster of OPM artists that evening! People who followed these bands since their inception are in for a treat because you are not only getting one, imagine what an awesome night this is gonna turn out to be!

Dashboard Confessional



I love them! For those who think they are just EMO music you are wrong! They are AWESOME musicians... and they make GREAT music!


The Cab



It's their music that makes you check your phone every time you get a message/buzz. Find out why on Thursday!



Cobra Starship



Two words. Leighton Meester. If you haven't had fun with just the Good Girls Gone bad thought of it, just make sure you listen to their music that's been hitting the airwaves of Manila since its release. I even hear these in clubs for cryin out loud!


The Used




Awesome video concepts, awesome lyrics and awesome songs. I think you shouldn't let yourself sleep at the sight of The Used once they get to your ears on March 8, check out why they have been watched millions of times in YOUTUBE and they'll definitely show you how to rock Manila!

Shots From The Grand Press Conference of Corazon: Ang Unang Aswang

Saturday, March 03, 2012


I was one of the few guys who probably got so depressed after the Maria La Del Barrio Finale, why you ask? Well let's put it this way, its just so hard to understand that we won't see them every night anymore. Erich Gonzales and Enchong Dee pretty much are like friends and if I don't see them that regularly, you kinda long for them... It's a natural thing. ABSCBN did a pretty nice job reinterpreting and extending the MLDB run. I wonder what projects they have next? Erich Gonzales answered that question a few days ago.


This was the Grand Press Conference of Corazon: Ang Unang Aswang. Shooting this started years ago, even before No Other Woman. It was quite difficult because they had to create a whole other world in the vicinity of Rizal. The whole town and story was a child project of Director Richard Somes and yes he's got a whole production outfit called SKYLIGHT FILMS to back this up. Star Cinema believes that this project will surely be another hit not to mention the two past movies that had Derek Ramsay in it. This is his favorite movie too, he was always telling the press how excited he is about this coming out. It was high time because he knows how important this is in merely telling the story. Imagine how creeped people are in the teasers then later to find out that this is mostly a LOVE STORY and DRAMA. The great story, plot and skilled actors like Derek and Erich, it's surely a formula for International release. We have yet to find out later if its going to happen, I'm sure Star Cinema can do this.

You should definitely watch how PASSION and LOVE come into play in their relationship. How a man loves a woman. How a wife would give it all to make her husband happy. I don't think I really need to convince you to watch Corazon: Ang Unang Aswang, because just knowing Erich Gonzales and Derek Ramsay will be there would spell YES... am I right?! =) Plus Derek says that his LOVE Scene with Erich here is WAAAAAY more passionate than his scenes in No Other Woman... the same person who shot that is the one who shot the scenes here too. So just think about it... you know you gotta watch this! Showing in cinemas on March 14, 2012!

Now I promised you guys that I'll be releasing some photos from the Grand Press Conference right? Here it is! =)
