No doubt about it, folks! We are in the midst of a Pinoy blues revival!

Check out "Blueskrieg" gig/listening party 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.

although Blues never went mainstream in the RP...

although mainstream never loved the Blues...

BLUES REMAINS, AND WILL UNDENIABLY REMAIN. You don't hear it over the radio..but you hear it in car stereos, in your parent's house, in your friend's bedroom...your shred guitarist learning to bend and slide, your drummer trying out the jazz beat which is in triplet form, the blues rhythm be it in shuffle or jazz shuffle..it never ends.

mainstream or not, blues is here to stay.

OT

Sadly, I just discovered the blues three years ago. Nevermind the date of exploration, I'm just blessed it came my way!

Blues UP! Join us this Sat!

makatha pala itong si bitoy eh

...at bibili ako niyan.

tama si bitoy na you don't hear it over the radio... ika nga ni idol kong john mayer sa crossroads dvd, blues needs a host. you just don't hear it anywhere else... you usually need someone to show you the way to this kind of good music. u need someone who'd tell you na "hey, this is SRV or this is clapton, this is hendrix, allman bros., and so on and so forth" and make you hear all of them. and i want to thank all of you for showing me the light. hehehehe!

i'm still a blues brother, and i think i'd remain so for a damn long time.

...and i need an effin strat again. ...and i gots no money.

i got the bass guitar covered tho... nakakahiram naman ako sa kabanda ko... hehehe.

@Deltaslim:
Paki- reserve na lang ako ng CD. Salamat.

Hello Blues Brothers!!!

Pinoy blues is also starting to resurrect here in Cebu. Marami ring blues fanatics dito kaya lang bihira ang venues na may tumutugtog ng ganitong genre. (To my knowledge only 3 bars here feature blues - The Outpost, Kahayag Cafe, and Vudu.)

@boss deltaslim - Any chance the CD will be available here in cebu?

deltaslim · « **Reply #6 on:** November 02, 2006, 09:21:37 AM »

Uy thanks for dropping in, blues bruddahs!

Re CD, syempre reserve namin kayo mga copy. And I don't see any reason why it can't be sent to Cebu, Hongkong, Sydney, Singapore, California, and anywhere else meron tayong PhilMusic blues bros. Basta yayaain nyo rin bumili ng "orig copy" yung friends nyo. Baka pwede padalan din yung bars and radio stations dyan, etc. (or ibili nyo sila!).

Paging, Gerry of Rebolusyon Rekords/Rakrakan --- pare, malapit na ma-sold out yung cd!

Kamusta jan Blues Bro in Cebu!!

We (Blue Jean Junkies) had a gig there sa Kaona Grill. Were you present that night? Dami tao eh.

Daming taong nawala after 2 songs in our set.

@toybitz - hmmm... probably the wrong place at the wrong time? hehehe... kelan yung gig nyo bro?

rakrakan · « **Reply #11 on:** November 04, 2006, 08:53:28 AM »

mamayang gabi na ito. RAKRAKAN BLUES NIGHT presents BLUESKRIEG bands at CONSPIRACY. Kita kits tayo dun.

the CD will be available in all record stores, initially in the Metro 1st week of Dec (of course). Major cities like Cebu should get them in the 2nd or 3rd week. There will be enough original copies for all to buy.

thanks for the interest, sana magustuhan ninyo. Pinaghirapan ng lahat ng participants. Labor of love ito.

- Gerry

Hey mahavishnu,

looks like you were seated right behind me. the whole night? Ikaw pala iyun! Hahaha! Should have introduced myself

rakrakan · « **Reply #17 on:** November 05, 2006, 10:53:15 AM »

mahavishnu and vegetablejoe, thanks for coming. saka ko na i-post other photos - or sa CD sleee na lang.

fantastic night filled with blues music!

Quick on the draw si veggie joe dahil nila-lock na ngayon ng mga mods ang mga gig announcement threads once the gig is over. Am surprised nga na open pa 'yung thread kanina -- thank goodness. Maybe we can suggest that the gig nnouncement threads are kept open for a little time longer so folks can post pics/comments and others know where to look for them -- logical lang naman na sa original gig announcement ang mga "review" ng performance.

Rakrakan, with regards to your last post on that thread, game ang blue rats kung may round 2. But the evening really should belong to the great guys who worked so hard and are featured on the CD. Guest lang kami kung mauulit.

deltaslim · « **Reply #19 on:** November 05, 2006, 01:06:19 PM »

vjoe - thanks for the pics and reviews. i got some decent vids w/ good audio of firebottle set and the jam but i need to shrink them down under 100mb to be able to post on youtube. will post later, to complement your photos. i know gerry has more, i hope he posts them here too.

some notes on the pics and review you posted at the Gig thread (repost mo kaya dito - locked na run eh):
- my face looks funny, parang binatak sa photoshop! anyway, tone is in d peys!
- kita nyo ba si fafa erick! nazareno ang buhok pero malmsteen ang porma! show us more cleavage fafa erick! lupit ng groove mo sa Kulukati, Firebottle, at sa jam! (btw, meron ba nakakuha ng strap ni Erick? nawala eh! paki PM siya (Valve) or ako pag meron kay impormasyon. may reward ata

- my "drum face" pala si Kakoi! lufet din sa drums. telephatic talaga kahit anong instrument.
- sayang wala sa pictures si "Fred Flinstone"... tinerno nya nya ang leather boots sa duster!

galing galing lahat ng bands kagabi: from the angst and originality of Dahon, to the tight but syncopated grooves of Kulukati + original/innovative gtr+great vox and stage presence, to the sweet kerrrang and locomotive-chugging of Snakecharmer, and the anthemic classic rock of Plug (parang "The Best of Classic Rock" in one set... isa kang animal Chester!). pati yung jam parang naging feature na rin kagabi kasi tight pa rin tugtugan - dami tuloy pumasok at nanood! pati kami ni kakoi na nagnu-noodle on tele and laptseel (Amazing Grace, Feeling Sad Blues, Baby Please Dont Go, etc...) inappreciate pa rin ng mga taong natira. what a great audience - salamat po sa lahat ng dumalo!

sopwith - thanks for lending the Burny LP! i hope you enjoyed hearing your LP in a live setting. i certainly did.

blue buddah - ayos ba? To paraphrase Bono, "All i need is a red guitar, 3 chords, and a bottleneck!" sulit and thanks for the tip and help!

gerry - thanks for making it all hapen, man. congrats ulit and looking forward to Blueskrieg II and the provincial tour!!!

Reposted from Gig Announcements, as requested...
------------------------------------------------------------

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!

what a night! what a night!

sayang, wala atang vid coverage.

it would've been cool to archive it. its got to be the best gig I was in because of bands and the people who came. may mga lolo at lola pa ha!

will post pics soon.. abangan.

si Kakoy, what a hard hitter, sumipa na daw kasi yun red horse. sayang hindi ako naka-jam, wala ako dala auto eh. babawi ako sa susunod.

yun lap steel ni Messyhands mas lumabas nun jamming.

Veggiejoe...galit ka lang talaga sa amin mga tambulero! hehehe!

Meron ako video ng first 4 songs ng Firebottle and 2 songs from the open jam. Kaso I need to convert it to get under 100mb limit ng youtube.

* Anybody has a suggestion on how to convert mp4 to lower res video or anything that will considerably less disk space? *
