Lone Jam
7+ months in Canada, no bass guitar, no gigs, no band, no jammings… no happiness. I had apprehensions about getting a bass guitar. After all, I’m doomed to play by my lonesome. To see if it will spark some craving, I listened to Jaco Pastorius’ studio album and Tal Wilkenfeld’s Transformation. I love Tal’s album! [...]
Year End Report
2007 is almost over! Only 12 posts (not including this one) for this year. In response to Nuts’ year in gear: Sold the Yamaha RBX-350. I think I saw that RBX in ebay.ph stripped off of the sticker veneer. Got a Geddy Lee jazz from Onie dela Cruz. Got an M-80 bass DI. Sold the [...]
Guitar Adrenaline
Last tuesday, Sisig gigged at Chaquico’s in Makati for Ernie’s Guitar Adrenaline event. It’s been 1.5 years since we last played there. As expected, everyone who was there were either musicians, luthiers, guitar enthusiasts or roadies. I hated the feeling knowing that people are observing you, listening to every note, waiting for you to make [...]
DUI
DUI is one of my favourite Sisig songs. I love to play that song, be it the slow version or the fast one. It’s been a while since we played that song. Nathan does a lot of guitar scream on that. The guitar solo is fabulous. DUI fast version (featured in MTV) : DUI slow [...]
Menaya
If everything goes well, today will be my last gig with Menaya. I’ve hand-picked my replacement from several bassists that I know and I hope this one will turn out perfectly. My deal was 1 month of session with them, and it was busiest month I’ve ever had in my entire music career (if I [...]
Now on Page 2 of Googling Kitchie Nadal
1.5 years after posting the infamous Kitchie Nadal Sucks blog post, It’s now reached page two (2) of Googling “Kitchie Nadal” and of course top post of googling either “I Hate Kitchie Nadal” or “Kitchie Nadal Sucks”. It’s been a very long time since I last replied to an idiotic kitchie-phreak comment but people still [...]
Kakai Bar
Just got home from a gig in Kakai Bar, Malate. Its a production organized by some of the staff in Freedom Bar. Thanks guys you rock! The place looks like a run-down apartment but the equipment were awesome. I adored the Hartke A100 kickback amp which has a build in LIMITER! Coolness… However, if its [...]
I Feel Old
I feel old. Last night we gigged in a Flower Duet prod at Bridgeway Bar in Sta. Lucia. Outside the venue, we passed by seemingly familiar faces. People from other bands that we’ve probably gigged with and of course Marie, the prod manager. Inside were kids. As in kiddies. Maybe high school (or even grade [...]

Kitchie Nadal Sucks
I am so friggin sick of her songs! Especially that droning rip-off song called “Wag na Wag Mong Sasabihin”. I want to kill myself everytime I hear that stupid song. Ugh… That song is a melody rip-off for crying out loud! It’s an overplayed piece of crap!!! Even Yoda fares better in grammar! Freaking shit, [...]
