Manila Mondays

I know Jon said that Friday nights in Manila can't be beat, but that was before we made it to a "Manila Monday". So apparently the local rock scene is bursting at the seams, and we we can now vouch for that. Warehouse 135 was the venue of choice and bands like Chicosci who have opened for the "who's who" of the global punk/rock scene, was just the opening jig. They set a raging pace that had everyone mosh/dancing basically on stage all night. Great bands followed like Pedicab and Taken by Cars which rocked the street out front Pablo Gallery Saturday night. This event wouldn't have been possible without meeting Diego at Mo_Space Gallery in Fort Bonafacio. Diego was an excellent host, adding us to the guest list to come watch his band and putting ice-cold San Miguels in our hands at the show. Turns out Diego's band, Sandwich, that he so humbly spoke about, rules! From one music lover to the next, these bands all offer something to appreciate. Check them all out whenever you can. I know we're gonna have to again before this ride is all over.
