As The Sun Kisses The Sea

Just saw the greatest thing ever:

From Sheila and the Insect's Website:

"Jerros, who’s in law school, said he couldn’t do the scheduled August 22 weekend, that being the scheduled midterms. The rest of us though would be available. Jai suggested that we consider getting a session drummer just for that gig. I wasn’t too keen on the idea but I left it to the group to decide. Everybody calls the shots in this group. Not exactly a democracy though. More like equally strong-willed tyrants running countries sharing borders. Imagine the cold war were the nuclear deterrent kept the fragile peace. Okay, I exaggerate. But, like I said before, this is a band of band leaders.

Sometimes I wonder if that’s a good thing.

We decided to get Edrik of The Line Divides and jammed last week. I will say one thing; he’s one really talented drummer. We started the session with Quick to Panic and finished the song feeling like we’d been playing it for years. That’s how good he is. Which, in a nutshell, is reflective of the level of talent of the new bands here in Cebu. The Line Divides in particular."

WOW. THAT IS BIG. Someone should video that event gig!!! It would be a "sneak preview" of The Line Divides and SATI performing together. :D Sucks it has to be in Manila though. :(
So Sheila and the Insects is back! :)

Cebu Music Marathon

Cebu's music industry is really, really growing. Great bands from Cebu are arriving and they bring so much great music. So good that it gives us those last song syndromes. I believe the band Sheila and the Insects perhaps started it all. How long have they been in this Cebu music? I think about 1990's? or something?
And the way I look at it their friends are doing the same and still provide with great music.

That's why I support Cebu local music.

Another band called The Line Divides is also becoming a big scene in Cebu. Click on their link at the side for more information about them and listen to their songs. You'll never expect something like this coming out of a Cebuano. Even I was shocked. The first time I heard them was at a concert in The Outpost. And immediately I was hooked by their song "Daydream Dance" (which I am currently listening to). With their new pop beat mixed with heavy guitar riffs, they really know what they're doing which is making the audience dance with them.

So that's why for this whole Sunday, I have made my playlist to ALL CEBU BANDS. Cattski, SATI, The Line Divides, Powerspoonz, Missing Filemon and of course, Urbandub. I want to feel the Cebuano within me and make myself proud of it!

Long live Cebu Music!
