The Existence

All roads (or the one I was driving on, at least) led to The Outpost last Friday night for the launching of Shuffled's new album, "The Existence". The place was filled with so much people that it literally shook when because of the crowd's jumping when the bands started to play. Also, when Shuffled's set was done, my friends & I looked like we had been pushed into a pool - we were literally soaking wet (which didn't matter, of course, since the lack of air conditioning will not stop us from supporting our other friends. Char).

Local celebrity (uuuuyyyyy hahaha) Ken Cuizon signing his band's CD

Last minute memorization of "No Diversion" (link to this fan made video with lyrics here)

 

Psychkada (yes, that's what we call ourselves when we get together haha our group name sprang forth from hanging out together during our psychiatric ward duty days when we were still in college hahaha. Baduy, we know, but whatever)

 

Leslie, Marj, Mel, Faj, & Kat

This is where we were originally standing before the band started playing. See, the place was packed!

But thank God for our crowd-pushing skills. Hahahaha.

Xane Castillo sings with the band on one of my favorite songs, "Happy Times". How aptly titled - the song does make you happy when you hear it.

More guests: Mamyk Paredes & Morris Mantilla sing on "All New Way"

Last Song Syndrome: No Diversion

So there's this local band called Shuffled, and I have been friends with one of their guitarists, Ken, for years... but I will have to admit that I only heard their music for the first time about 2 months ago. Why this was so, I have no idea, but since then, I cannot stop listening to their song "No Diversion":






It's very catchy, no? It's actually been stuck in my head for days, thanks to my constant raping of the video's replay button. I'm pretty sure you won't be able to get the song out of your head after you first listen to it, too... which will lead you to NEED to listen to their other songs (all equally as good, trust me - I didn't want to take the headphones off when I got to listen to the rest of their tracks)... which will then lead you to want to buy their album... which they're launching this Friday, October 14, at The Outpost:

Support local music! See you there!
