ROCK'N Xmas in Tribal Cafe!

TRIBAL CAFE XMAS!!! Gosh, all our gigs have been lotsa fun!! WE brought the house down again in tribal cafe!! It was a different crowd since the Fil-am regulars had a gig in Cerritos. Got to hang with Cryedsa and other newer bands! Tanya brought the house down with her Marlyn Monroe rendition of Santa Baby to the crowd's roars and applause! Of course, the tapsilog was delicious and so was the mango smoothie I had and the Slurpee thanks to Chey and ZEE. Thanks also to Carl(ita) of Ben Paltik who has been generously lending his talents to us this past couple of weeks. We are still looking for a female DRUMMER! Thanks to Cedric for the invite to play as always! Enjoy the pictures!

PTP on the RACETRACK

We had an AWESOME FUN GIG at the IRWINDALE Speedway on Dec 17th! The

raceway was PACKED! We had a great show then we went on to watch the

DRIFTING Exhibition of Japan and the US' top drifting drivers! There

was so much adrenalin that day! A lot of press people were there as

well, taking our photos! Till next time!

UPCOMING SHOWS!!

AH yes! I'm getting a hang of this BLOGGIN' THANG!!!

Here's our show this SATURDAY!!! CAR RACING!!! wuuu huuu!!

This is our show for Dec 23, 2003 brought to you by Ric Angeles and the rest of da boys! I dunno what happened to the flyer. Its pretty messed up!

 

This AWESOME Flyer for Tribal Cafe on Dec 30, 2005 brought to you by Hook Music Prod'ns. I like the idea that there are only 3 bands instead of 10. hehehe!

The whole band is not playing but I guess Cedric wanted us to be his PROMO GIRLS for New Year's Eve so I'll probably make a cameo appearance and JAM with whoever over there! It'll be a BLAST!

Depeche Mode a week later

Like watching U2 wasn't enough, Mikey scored me two tickets to watch Depeche Mode at the Staples Center. I took Melanie (new bassist) with me. We were late because we had rehearsals for a show the next day but hey I was only there for one song. And I got to hear it so Im happy. The song was somebody. Thats all I really wanted to hear. We were an hour late and had 45 minutes left of the concert but that's all the time we needed to take great pictures, buy a shirt for pam and see depeche mode's lead singer perform without a shirt on. The u2 concert was still a better concert, no doubt! But hey, at least once in my life...I can say I watched Depeche Mode as well! Only in America will you be able to do these things. Its so close you can touch it! Just like last year when we went to the KROQ 2004 inland invasion concert! That was amazing as well. All the 80's bands were there like Tears for Fears, Devo, Billy Idol, Souxie and the Creatures, Flock of Seagulls, etc! Only in California!! wuuu huuu!!! I love it here!

Happenings continued - Brief Review of U2

This is longggggg overdue hahaha! Pam, Doe, Ann and I made it to the U2 concert not on my bday (nov 1) but on Pam's (nov 9). I had to get a rental and drive 5 hours to SFO with the kids just to catch U2 at the Oakland Arena. Dang was it worth every second! Because of the many 'kapalpakans' and not being able to watch the LA show, I was so skeptical and doubtful that I would be able to them for real. But once my ticket was checked and my bag was lightly searched, I was in the stadium!!! I started jumping up and down and screaming with joy! My struggle to see them was fini!

Dang, our seats were great! We were at a disability box worth $160 each. We didnt have to squeeze in with everyone else. We had so much room to move around! Bono was so close, I swear he was looking at me several times! (obviously, that just me) hahahaha They had a circular stage and a circualar ramp, much like a target and bullseye. It was donned with dancing and flickering lights all around. It was just amazing! When they started playing, I for sure had a few tears in my eyes. The feeling was pure elation!! They were all great! The lights display, the big screens, the crusade to irradicate poverty, bono's presence on stage, the tight band. Everything was perfect! What more can I say. A LOT! But this blog will be 10 times longer! Thanks to Bono's publicist, Kate for getting us tickets! Of course thanks to Mikey for working on them. That was the best bday gift Pam and I have received! Im sure there will be more great experiences to write about!

Oct-Nov 2005 Happenings

Gosh, its been awhile since I last posted a blog here! Its really amazing how so much can happen in two months. Firstly, we are saddened that Melody and Ann have parted ways with the band. Melody's last gig was our Tribal Cafe Halloween gig which was so much fun anyways! We went as the super friends. I was Super girl, Ann was bat girl, Tanya was Wonder Woman (crowd favorite) and Melody was (sexy) catwoman. Thank God that right after Melody said she had to part ways with the band due to scheduling conflict with her other priorities, Melanie was sent as a uber uber blessing to the band. She also jammed with us that night (in her ultra sexy catwoman outfit!) rowrl!!!

A week after that, Ann decided that the band was not moving in the direction she wanted and parted ways as well. Thanks to our saviours Jay of Brown Sugar and Carl of Ben Paltik who lent us their talents on some shows that we had to continue on doing. Pictures of which I hope I know how to post here. These are pictures from the awesome, fun gig at THE GIG!

I was touched to see a lot of supporters that night, Mario, Cedrick, Alonzo, Chey, Z, Sam, and a whole buncha other "scene" dudes. We went to eat thai afterwards. That was a great gig!
