Pinoy blues bands take over RAKARAKAN concerts with a blues night show dubbed "Blueskrieg" at Conspiracy on Nov. 4 Saturday at 7 pm. Entrance is P100.

BLUESKRIEG (Blues attack, blitzkrieg - get it?) is a live concert featuring Pinoy ambassadors of the BLUES - from old blues to blues rock, Southern blues to Mexicali blues, to Mississippi blues - basta puro blues based ang music.

The above Pinoy blues artists will be featured in BLUESKRIEG* - a compilation CD featuring 15 tracks of blues-influenced and blues-based music composed, arranged and performed by the bands themselves. This gig will be an advanced listening party - all 15 tracks will be played on the venue's sound system. BLUESKRIEG will be released in late November 2006.

Conspiracy was packed! Can't wait for the Blueskrieg cd to be released. Lots of great original songs from the bands.

They were still jammin' when I left  at 1:00AM...

Here's a sampler... sorry I couldn't fit the drummers into the pics with my toy camera....

DAHON

Power trio + vocals. A tele that sounds more like an LP with tasty textures on the solos! Fresh sound! More! More!

KULUKATI

Great stage presence by the vocalist... the dude with 'tude!
Hey Kit! I love your playing, man! It's so different! Doggone it, where the hell do you get your ideas for soloing?!!! Erick, don't leave your funky 12-string bass at home again! Kasama yun sa signature Kulukati sound!

SNAKECHARMER

Hard-hitting rhythm section, crunchy guitar chords and smooth solos. The P.A. was working fine and I finally got to hear solid vocals and Roneil's keyboard playing! Ayus! When you come and watch these guys, don't leave your eagplugs at home!

FIREBOTTLE

Joric bared his soul in his compositions... heart-rending... kanino kaya in memory of... ? 
Nathan plays a modern counterpoint to Joric's raw, old school style of blues guitar. But deltaslim also transforms into Derek Trucks at will!  Plus bonus tasty slide guitar and harp licks from guest player Kakoi.

PLUG

Great arrangements on their orig. blues songs, and awesome Allman Bros., Skynyrd and Cream renditions... fiery and plakado! scary!

Jammers


WTF?! He plays drums too??!!!


Pucha! Ayoko na mag-gitara!  Sobrang magagaling na itong mga napanood ko!

[blue buddha]

Again -- you da man with the plan.... great pics veggie joe. Dats a lot of geetar players! 

Delta, nice red axe.
