Back to back to back

That's what our weekend was like! First, we had the introvoys repeat show last friday at the Win LA Auditorium. Then BBKings on Saturday afternoon and Tribal Cafe at night. It was all successful of course with improvements (always) that we can do for the next time. We were armed with video and digital cameras to make sure we recorded everything! Our outfits were so much fun. We wore pink polka dot dresses on friday and camouflage corsets for the bbkings show. We ended the busy weekend with a set at the Tribal cafe with all the other Fil-Am artists. Thanks to everyone that supported us, we had a blast!

Right now, Im currently listening to Rodney on the ROQ hoping we get played and trying my darnest best to stay awake! So we'll just have to wait and see. Its halfway thru his show and the clock goes tick tock tick tock. I've never listened to his show before and it is sooooo 80's he is currently playing awesome songs. So, I'm keeping my fingers crossed that he plays us!

A Blondied GOGOed NIGHT!!

wow....talk about surreal! Last night Ann and I went down to the TROUBADOUR to watch Gogo's Cathy Valentine's set! What a night! They were fronted by "the ettes" (not impressed) and the randies (very impressed!)

Let's not talk about "the ettes" because I don't like talking bad about anyone. THe Randies on the other hand were awesome. I was so impressed by their lead singer's stage presence, as well as the other ladies on guitars. Their drummer was good too and was the only guy on the band. I was particuarly impressed by the lead singer's ability to rock it out while playing melodic bass lines! Yes, she is a bassist and damn good at it!

But of course, the highlight of the night was when Cathy came on. God can she play that Fender Stat like a real pro!! To think she's the gogo's bassist!! Not only did they pack out the troubador but its the best $10 I had spent for (oops, I actually owe Ann for the entrance because it was cash only and i NEVER have cash on me!hahaha). Not only was Jane Wiedlin who'w probably a wee 4'10 and Charlotte there but Blondie's drummer CLem Burke backed her up together with Vicki Peterson of the Bangles!!!! Oh was it a bad day for me to have a camera with no flash! Therefore no pictures with them! I did get to talk to Clem and Kathy, got their autographs, put my two cents in about PTP and gave them copies of PTP CD. Clem said that he would definitely listen to it! I told him, maybe he could help us out with some of his "friends". hehehe

Its so nice to come to a laid back place like this and meet your music influences in the flesh! Im not much of a fan girl but I WAS LAST NIGHT!!! oh my GOD!!! I am heavily influenced by the Gogo's!! PTP covered MOST their HITS! I am a big fan of Blondie as well, so imagine what a night we had!!! Of course, Mikey, is dying of envy because he loves Clem and I even shook his hand and chatted with him for awhile! Eat your heart out, baby! hahaha....

Only in LA can you have a really once in life time opportunity like this! Dang...I'm beggining to feel at home now....I love LA....LA ROCKS!

Rodney on the ROQ and other stuff!

Good things...good things...as of this publishing :

• we have already been added to 50 radio stations in the US including France, Argentina, Ireland and Canada. Not bad for a Filipino act!
  
• "Get Up" has also been added to the satellite radio Sirius which is a huge dish network.
  
• We have charted in New Jersey already (no.16) alongside Depeche Mode(no.15) and 2 notches higher than When in Rome's "The Promise" (no. 18) on their weekly charts!
• Rodney of KROQ LOVES our CD and will play "little men, big cars" on his show. He is known for breaking artista like No Doubt etc. so hope he BREAKS us into the market!
  
• We're in the works for nationwide distribution with an independent distributor.

We're up ahead for a busy weekend. Introvoys repeat show is this friday. Followed by a BBKing's GIG at Universal CITY WALK on Saturday 4pm and Tribal Cafe at 9pm. Thats should be fun and tiring at the same time!
