From Passion Pit:
Passion Pit has been forced to cancel all international shows, including shows in Singapore, Indonesia, Philippines, Japan, and Australia. Doctors have now mandated that the next few weeks be used for rest and recuperation. It is with a heavy heart that we make such an announcement, as Passion Pit has never been to many of these countries. However, we are left with no choice. Michael is devastated and would like everyone to know that he’s working to get healthy as soon as possible. No other tour dates are affected by this issue. Passion Pit will work to visit all of the countries involved as soon as possible, and Michael and the team would like to thank all of the promoters and fans for their patience and understanding during this difficult time.
All we can say is how grateful we are for the opportunity and, in better health, that we greatly look forward to making up these shows and seeing everyone soon.

Malasimbo plays host once again to collaborations of the musical kind
“This is what I came here to do,” intimates American DJ, music producer, keyboardist, and beat boxer Taylor McFerrin mid-set as he reveals his pursuit to continue collaborating with artists. Minutes before his co-love announcement, McFerrin calls onstage the Jedi master beat boxer Tom Thum as well as several others to join him in the classic art of pure, spontaneous jamming.
Included in the list of jammers is Noli Aurillo (dare we say it, who bears an unmistakable resemblance to John Lennon and Yoko Ono’s child—if they ever had one) who delivered a masterful performance of movie scores and classic rock with the guitar. Three songs in, the country’s famous guitarist welcomes Megan Aguilar to join him; to which a game-faced Aguilar admits, “I don’t really think I’m dressed for the part…but it’s Malasimbo!” and then proceeds to sing The Police’s Roxanne and Oh! Darling by The Beatles.
June Marieezy also famously collaborates with Frenchman FKJ who reveals to the audience of their meeting only two hours before they came onset. “We have a song together but I only met her today,” says FKJ—testament yet again of the collective spirit at Malasimbo mountain to create and collaborate.
“You have to love the vibe they have going on here,” muses Tom Thum as he poses for a portrait. “Yesterday I just rented a bike and rode up some mountains—it was beautiful.” Beyond infectious energy, intoxicating lights, and old-fashioned merriment, Malasimbo draws vagabonds and creative natives in for a weekend (or two) that promises a brief escape from the daily grind. “Malasimbo is known for its particular vibe and people from all over the world attend it. So the more you work on the story of the festival, the more you think of the audience’s and participants’ experience, the more it would survive,” declares Katrina Razon (that’s DJ Katsu, to all ye music critters) of the homegrown festival’s sustainability. While festivals all over rely on a star-studded lineup to draw crowds in, Malasimbo (despite its stellar stage list) has built a loyal list of Malasimboys and girls who book tickets no matter who’s set to take the stage. “Highlight the experience and not just the lineup,” reiterates Razon, “as the most important part is the audience.”
Futher proof of life: currently on its fifth year, Malasimbo Music & Arts Festival continues to enchant and bewitch a crowd accustomed to the usual city concerts. Three nights spent under the stars and seated on a natural amphitheatre will inevitably have that effect—that, and it also has this way of strangely bringing out the bohemian in you. Barefoot contessas in the making? We’re definitely in.
No hellish traffic jam could ever stop Lamb of God from returning to the Manila stage for another round of metal excellence. The Grammy-nominated thrash metal band fired a fresh barrage of sonic salvo for their Filipino fans last March 6 in the World Trade Center, fuelling local metalheads to swirl into pits of crashing bodies.
Front man Randy Blythe, guitarists Mark Morton and Willie Adler, bassist John Campbell, and drummer Chris Adler are as keen as ever, consistently on point with every note of rage and technique. Their break-neck set was unforgiving to the faint of heart, as fans were left breathless since the opening rush of “Desolation” and “Ghost Walking”, to favorites “Laid to Rest” and “Omerta”, finishing off old school with “Vigil”, “Redneck” and “Black Label”. If we go by Blythe’s words that night, we can expect Lamb of God to return yet again to the Philippines, plowing through EDSA in a jeepney decked with flaming skulls and all things metal.

Members of the award winning a cappella group are Scott Hoying, Mitch Grassi, Kirstie Maldonado, Avi Kaplan, and Kevin Olusola. They joined the television singing competition show, The Sing-Off on its third season and became an instant favorite throughout the process. During the show, they performed amazing renditions of popular cover songs, such as “Your Love Is My Heart” by Kesha, “ET” by Katy Perry, “Born to Be Wild” by Steppenwolf, “Without You” by David Guetta, and “Eye of the Tiger” by Survivor. No matter what they performed, the audience went crazy! They ended up winning the competition.
Following the success of The Sing-Off, all five members continued their career full time, and today Pentatonix is one of the most successful groups in music. They won their first Grammys for Best Arrangement, Instrumental or A Cappella and named YouTube’s Artist of the Year.
