  • From Yale University To YouTube Sensations

    From Yale University To YouTube Sensations

    Known for their YouTube covers, originals and medleys, Sam Tsui and Kurt Hugo Schneider have come a long way since 2009, even releasing their own original album, Make It Up last year.

    Edgy? No they’re not, but how to describe the presence of the YouTube singing sensations Sam Tsui and Kurt Hugo Schneider around Manila Press? For me since I was dumbfounded, I can recount it as humble and overwhelming. These YouTube artists have been friends since middle school and both graduated from Yale University, though they are music genius, Sam graduated with a major in Classical Greek and Kurt with major in Mathematics.

    GMA artist Rita DeGuzman opened the presscon for the duo who will also be there on June 25 and 26 as their opening act. Sam and Kurt became popular in 2009 when their performance of a Michael Jackson medley went viral on YouTube, with more than 30 million viewers, the cover opened an opportunity to reach The Ellen De Generes Show and Oprah Winfrey Show and a lot more.

    The Q&A went smooth and fun as they answered it like they personally know everyone at the Lounge. Here are the few distinctive lines we could remember:

    “I just want people to know – we’re really very normal people who just happen to make music that people get to enjoy.” –Sam Tsui

    “If you’ve got haters that means you are doing something well. -Sam Tsui

  • Journey Down Memory Lane with Vertical Horizon

    Journey Down Memory Lane with Vertical Horizon

    In the 90s, Vertical Horizon’s songs Best I Ever Had (Grey Sky Morning), You’re A God and Everything You Want were worldwide hits on radio, these singles put them in superstardom.

    Vertical Horizon Live in Manila 2014

    An alternative band from the US, Vertical Horizon made their third stop in Manila. Being responsible for their infectious and radio-friendly 90’s track such as You’re a God, Everything You Want and Best I Ever Had, we were transported back to the ‘90s alternative rock music scene. Newport isn’t a large venue which makes it a great way to see them on a personal level. The sound was so balance and there’s no distortion around the room, with so much anticipation of the fans, the band hit the stage with Instamatic. Finding Me was the next song they perfomed, followed by their hit I’m Still Here. Matt Scannell sounded the same as he did back in the late ‘90s as they played We Are and Forever.

    Seeing them live on stage was definitely worth it. The feeling of nostalgia running through our veins that night was unexplainable. It’s no surprise to all the fans that Matt is a good story teller. His stories about his life in New York City “when I couldn’t afford to live in New York City.” He talked about his love/hate relationship and even tried to speak in tagalong, something like this “Masaya kami andito kami sa inyo” added personal impact to the show. I totally enjoyed this moment about how their songs came to life.

  • We The Kings Resume their Reign in Manila

    We The Kings Resume their Reign in Manila

    We The Kings 2014

    “Every time we come to the Philippines it feels like we’re home.” shared frontman Travis Clark at the beginning of the night. The band is indeed no stranger to the Philippines, with the Art of Tour visit being their third time to play on the Manila stage. The SM Skydome rang with approval as the relatively small yet tightly knit crowd delighted in the statement.

    Currently with four albums in their discography, We the Kings had Manila waiting a good two years since their last visit in May of 2012. Unsurprisingly, the punk/powerpop band’s fanbase came in full force to welcome back Travis, Danny, Hunter, Charles, and Coley.

    The band began their set with a sampling of most of their albums, opening with Queen of Hearts, Skyway Avenue, and Any Other Way, followed by older favorites We’ll Be A Dream and Whoa.

    We The Kings Manila 2014 Travis

    The bond between the artists and their fans was quickly reignited as if the two years had never passed. Almost halfway through the 18-song set, Travis issued a dance challenge: not to be the best dancers, but to have the most ridiculous moves. While many were hesitant at first, it wasn’t long before the crowd finally gave into becoming a mass of pure flailing, jumping energy.

  • Shane Filan’s concert in Manila set in October

    Shane Filan’s concert in Manila set in October

    Shane Filan Presscon EDSA Shangri-la

    Shane Filan was back in Manila for a few days. Just last September, he came to Manila to promote “Everything to Me”, his first single and EP as a solo artist. That time, he did two short mall shows which managed to round up huge crowds made up of old and new fans alike.

    Now, he’s back in town to promote his new album titled “You and Me”. Shane Filan’s debut album is mostly composed of ballads with a dash of folk and country tunes, a bit of pop-rock and a whole lot of effort and love. He co-wrote all of the songs with a new bunch of different musicians along with a few familiar composers of Westlife songs.

    He’s set to hold a full concert on October 1 at the World Trade Center Manila. Tickets now available at ticketworld.com.ph/shanefilan

    Coming straight out of his flight from Hong Kong, he immediately proceeded to converse with the Filipino media in a short press conference. He seemed completely at ease as he answered each question.

    Shane Filan Presscon 2014

    Here’s a gist of what transpired at the presscon:

    What’s the difference of being in Westlife and going solo?
    “It’s not easy coming out of a band like Westlife. People might think that it’s easier, but it’s actually harder. You have to convince people that you’re good. You’ve got to work hard, to do a great album and a great show.”
    He even joked, “it’s not all that different –just quieter. You look to other side and wonder’ where are the boys?’”

    Did you have second thoughts about going solo? (more…)

  • More than “More Than Words”: Extreme’s Pornograffitti Live

    More than “More Than Words”: Extreme’s Pornograffitti Live

    Extreme Manila Concert 2014

    Extreme lived up to their superlative name and outstanding rock and roll reputation when they delivered more than enough for fans in their Manila leg of the Pornograffitti Live Tour at the Samsung Hall last June 3. The boys from Boston proved how much their celebrated album stood the test of time as they dished out one song after another. Fans were treated to the raw power of the likes of “Decadence Dance” and “Get the Funk Out,” with Gary Cherone, Nuno Bettencourt, Pat Badger, and Kevin Figueiredo fired up the stage like it was the Bourbon Room. They played their most recognizable hit “More Than Words” right smack in the middle of their set, which only sent their fans into a frenzy for rest of their musical arsenal.
