When Urbandub played Lucena City last May 11, 2012 for the Tanduay First Five Tour, many people wondered why Lalay wasn’t onstage with them.  Instead, Rico Blanco’s bassist Dave Delfin and John Dinopol played bass. 

After the concert, a message was placed on the Facebook Fan Page of Urbandub, asking fans to pray for Lalay’s quick recovery. 

In 2011, Ovation Productions was already talking to Ed Kowalczyk about doing a concert in Manila.  I’m not sure exactly what happened which caused the concert to have been postponed, not only once, but twice.  What I do know is that he finally came on April 28, 2012 and did a back-to-back co-headline show with Vertical Horizon. 

I couldn’t make it to the concert but i heard pretty cool things about it.  One thing that caught my attention was that someone said that more people came for Vertical Horizon than for Live’s Ed Kowalcyzk.  It got me thinking, what if Ed came alone?  How many people would’ve been there?

Anyway, here are some of the pictures that Atthewomb.com had taken from that night.

I’ve been in touch with MCA Music now for a couple of years and they never fail to invite me to numerous events.  Many of these events are concert related, or press conferences.  However, once in awhile, they invite me to contract signings with some of the talents they sign. 

Today MCA Music signed Pupil.  I was instantly pleased and was happy to hear, that though Sony had closed down, MCA would continue the support of a major label, for a band like Pupil. 

Mr. Bones and the Boneyard Circus have been in my sights since they first came out of the dark and into the spotlight a couple of years ago.  I was given a copy of their EP and loved it.  It was dark, it was theatrical, they spoke of zombies, and their music video of Haunted Wonderland had a coffin in it.  This stuff was right up my alley and I could completely relate to the visuals they were putting on to match the music. 

They then released Horror Scene in 2009 and went on to releasing another music video as well as winning the Favorite New Indie Artist at the 2011 Myx Music Awards. 

In 2011, they became part of the Jack Daniels JD Set Philippines where they are now part of the final 7 competing to represent the country in the coming JD Set Asia Pacific International event this 2012/2013.

PEDICAB RETURNS WITH “KAYA MO MAG-SANDO?”

After making their major label debut album “Shinji Ilabas Mo Na Ang Helicopter” which produced the hit singles “Ang Pusa Mo”, “FX” and “Simulan Mo Na”, alternative band Pedicab returns with a new EP entitled “Kaya Mo Mag-Sando?”

The EP, which is currently the #1 most downloaded album at MyMusicStore.com.ph (the Philippines’ version of iTunes), features 6 brand new tracks including the carrier single “Otomatik”. Other tracks in the EP are: “Kaya Mo Mag-Sando?”, “Ang Apoy”, “La Liga Filipina”, “Insekto” and “The Shot”.

We recently featured a new video in which The Butchercons partied quite heavily through a Friday night in the song MRT, but we didn’t expect to be featuring yet another new video so soon.  However, when Turbo Goth released this brand new video, we just couldn’t help ourselves and had to give it the praise and acknowledgement we believe it’s earned. 

A year ago, when Turbo Goth entered Wombworks Studios to film for Alive at the Womb and record Short Circuit Mirage, I had no idea that one day, they would release a video of the same song with such intensity and simplicity.

Sucks!  I’m missing the Lucena leg of the Tanduay First Five Rock Royalty tour tonight.  But I don’t feel entire awful because I’m missing it for a very good reason.  However, nevertheless, I do feel like I’m going to be missing out on something very special, for the Tanduay Rock Royalty First Five tour is definitely something to behold. 

Anyway, because I’m missing it, I decided to somehow try to make myself feel like a part of me will still be there, and with that I decided to share a video with all of you. 

This is a video that is shown at each of the concerts of the tour.  The way it works, is that before each of the First Five bands, there is a video presentation that is basically an interview with each of the 5 bands, each of them talking about being on tour with Tanduay.

The highly anticipated and much awaited return of Lady Gaga is finally coming to a head! 

Lady Gaga will be performing 2 nights at the Mall of Asia Arena on May 21 and 22, 2012!

Atthewomb.com will be giving away a couple of tickets in an online ticket contest which will begin this coming Monday, May 14, 2012.
