    8123 Interview Series Part 3 – Philippine Concerts Interviews: The Maine

    The Maine is no stranger to Philippine shores. It comes as no surprise either what with their strong fan base and the talent that they have. The Maine is constantly pushing creative boundaries with what they can achieve as a band and it never disappoints. Philippine Concerts was able to chat with John O’Callaghan and delve deeper into the band’s artistic process.

    Philippine Concerts: What did you enjoy the most while recording Forever Halloween?
    John: Having the pleasure of working with Brendan Benson is something I’m rather thankful for. He opened our eyes to not only a new approach with the recording process, but tons of good tunes as well. It’s pretty neat being able to rap with someone you greatly respect!

    PC: How was the song writing and recording process like for Forever Halloween? How was it different from previous records apart from the fact that it was recorded live?
    J: The writing process remained relatively consistent with that of the past. I had handfuls of ideas and brought them to the table once we knew it was time to make an album. The recording process varied from previous albums we’d done in many ways one being we did it in Nashville, TN and had never before recorded music there. Having a producer who also creates rock music himself was a different approach from a few of the people we’ve worked with in the past. I really believe being a fan of Brendan’s music instilled a mutual trust in the five of us that allowed for a healthy environment to create expressive tunes.

    SM Lifestyle Entertainment Launch

    A dozen brands. 1 stronghold.

    SM has gone a long way from the original brand under West Avenue Theaters Corporation. They have expanded their reach from basic cinematic entertainment to lifestyle brands. Rebranded as the SM Lifestyle Entertainment Inc., they carry on SM’s commitment to value for money and quality. What drives them is the underlying mission to be the top priority of Filipinos.

    They fit twelve brands into one domineering hub that compliments the Filipinos’ love for lifestyle, and aims to strengthen the Filipino spirit of community. The names that make up SM Lifestyle Entertainment are as follows: SM Cinema, IMAX, Directors Club Cinema, Waltermart Cinemas, Mall of Asia Arena, SM Tickets, ePlus Tap to Pay and ePlus Digital, Snack Time, SM Bowling, SM Skating, and SM Science Center.

    Most of these brands ring a bell, and are well known, but there may be a few that stand out as recent names. Waltermart Cinemas, for instance, is the newest inclusion to SM’s Cinema group. Snack Time, present in SM Cinemas and the MOA Arena, is more than just a concessionaire; they also provide catering and merchandise services. SM Science Center is the knowledge and exploration branch, which features responsive displays such as 3D holograms and virtual reality simulations.

  • Bruno Mars Delivers an Explosive Performance in Manila

    Bruno Mars Delivers an Explosive Performance in Manila

    We heard his name, we sang his songs and last night Bruno Mars (Peter Gene Hernandez) 28, striking joe and one proud Filipino, proved once again his talent to a sold out crowd at Mall of Asia Arena.

    Bruno Mars Live in Manila Philippine Flag

    After his unforgettable and most watched half-time performance at the Super Bowl, it was time for Pinoy hooligans to witness our pride Bruno Mars in the flesh, as part of his Moonshine Jungle World Tour.

    Before the ultimate music treat for his Kababayan, the multi-platinum superstar of Filipino descent proved that he knows how to have a good time when he appeared at the pre-concert party that brought excitement to the fans at Republiq on the eve of his sold out show. The Award winning singer took DJ’s Ace Ramos deck to sing at least a quarter of his hit single “Locked Out of Heaven” to where he smoothly charmed the fans who waited for his appearance. The party wasn’t a typical throng; it composed of celebrities, winners of Viber’s promo, Poreotics and executives of the night’s sponsors (MMI & Viber)

    Poreotics, America’s Best Dance Crew winner opened the show for Bruno to fluctuate the excited and enthusiastic crowd. Hysteria roared as the showman (his late mom described him) appeared and welcomed the crowd to his “Moonshine Jungle Tour” which started a bit late but nobody really cared because it was worth the wait. Along with his 8-piece Hooligans, Bruno Mars kicked off with “Moonshine” followed by solid pyrotechnics, which gave the Arena an uncontrolled excitement.

    The third song of the night, “Treasure” was obviously a crowd pleaser. Everyone was dancing and singing as we were transported back to the 80s. “Show Me” turned into a reggae session with an amazing red, yellow and green on huge LED screen.
