CHICOSCI! TYPECAST! TAKEN BY CARS! in DAVAO

Stormproof is at it again! After the tremendously successfull Attack of the South featuring Urbandub and Powerspoonz last March 26, 2011, they will be ending the Davao's October with a BANG!

With a show tagged as THREE-LLA FROM MANILA, literally 3 bands from Manila will be rocking Davao on the 29th of October, at THE TENT, Matina Town Square. You still have time to save up for a P350 ticket that comes with 1 beer, 1 slice of pizza and 1 GLOBE sim. Where can you get that? Only on a Stormproof production. Surely a three-lla thrilla!

Featuring CHICOSCI who became famous for their hits like Paris, Vampire Social Club, A Promise among others. Surely shrieking female fans will troop just to get a sight of the frontman Miggy Chaves and the guitarist Mong Alcaraz. The band behind the hit "Will You Ever Learn", TYPECAST is another band to perform. An inspiration to the underground/indie bands/artists, they gained quiet a number of followers in this part of Mindanao. They may not be a mainstream group, TAKEN BY CARS gained respect in the music industry by getting noticed my award giving body like that of NU Awards and MYX. New to some of us of but the group started way back in 1998. 

This is my little share in spreading the music in/of the South! Experience 3 times the FUN and AWESOMENESS with THREE-LLA from Manila!

Been to: Bluejazz Resort, Samal

Last August 19, 2011, the whole family troop to Davao to attend the Awarding Ceremony of my father for his 20 years service to PAGCOR  (Philippine Amusement & Gaming Corporation), just in time for the Davao's celebration of the famous Kadayawan.

As a gift, our father treated us to a beach get-away. The trip is pretty special since its the first for a very very very long time. So, off we went to Bluejaz Resort and Waterpark. Going to the said resort is a first for all the members of the family so everyone's excited.

Since the resort operates a regular boat service regularly, we decided to take a a 5-minute ferry ride from the Beachside Resort, Maryknoll road, Barangay Vicenta Hizon, leaving our car at the available parking lot. For more details click this link for the directions.

What made your visit to this resort extra speical is the band of drummers that enthusiastically welcome its guest from the Pump Boat! You would really would love to dance along its island beat.

Aside from its infinity pool, water rides and white sand beach, one great offering Bluejaz gives is their exciting Gigantic Water Slides to die for. Do not miss to try and take a huge splash at these famous slides. You may check the resorts website for more info - Bluejaz Resort.

CONCERT SERIES: Urbandub vs PowerSpoonz: Attack of the South

Its been five days already, yet I cannot still get over Urbandub and Powerspoonz gig at Davao. It still gives me shiver as I think about them. It was ultimately AWESOME! Can't get enough of them since then.


The GENERALS attacked Davao City for the much awaited ATTACK OF THE SOUTH Gig at The Tent-Matina Town Square on March 26, 2011!

Everyones excited as they bought their tickets and lined-up for the entrance. My group was among the Early Birds. We are obviously excited. We wanted to get the best seat and luckily, we did!


GETTING STARTED. The local bands from the Davao never failed to get the ecstatic audiences entertained for Four Long Straight hours. Azimuth started with Three tracks, followed by the fun and young performance of Ten in a Row. Davao Karate Club was also something to watch out for while Spasm and Polar Depth kept the vibe alive before the highlight of the gig that night.

FRONT ACTS

HEATING UP. Then came the funky POWERSPOONZ and the audience went wild. Asked to stand up, the audience instinctively went right in front the stage and started to jump up and down. Instigating a MOSH, boy, it smelled like teen spirit! Its so good to be YOUNG and FREE!

Honestly, I haven't heard of Powerspoonz not until this gig. Oh yeah, they became an instant favorite. I love their songs serendibity, barrio, overflow and more. And Philippines, you better watch out for them, for they are a discovery. Read more about POWERSPOONZ here.

CLIMAX. Everbody came to their climax when Urbandub's Frontman Gabby Alipe joined Powerspoonz for a Sublime Cover. The bouncers can no longer control the crowd when Lalay Lim (bass guitar), John Dinopol(lead guitar) and JanJan Mendoza(drums) joined Gabby on stage. Everybody went crazy wild as they dance and sing along with this NU ROCK AWARDS favorite band. Their 9-Song Playlist that night never allowed the audience to take a breather or sit. They keep their hearts pumping till the last key of GUILLOTINE - one of the fans favorites from Udub's 4th Album Under Southern Lights.
