PRINCESS BATO (the reunion pic)

This is my first co-blogging experience so pls. bear with me. I usually have a camera in hand and follow the indie scene especially the trip-hop experience of the indie unsigned Filipino band named Drip which has Beng Calma, the owner of this blog, as vocalist.

A few hours ago, they had a gig at The Room Upstairs (TRU), but I didn't have my camera with me so I didn't get to capture Cyril "Silverfilter" Sorongon's first ever gig at TRU and also his awesome, awesome minimalist techno set that reminded me of Richie "Plastikman" Hawtin's gig many years back in front of the now defunct 78Orange (later O Lives! and now Government).

Anyway two nights ago, Beng was at the Sigaw ni Maria Clara gig in Saguijo which was an annual two-night tribute organized by Ms. Aimee Marcos (of the band, The Dorques) to the month of March being Women's Month. The photo below is the first ever photo after a long, long, long time of that high school band called: PRINCESS BATO (ex-bandmates had to fly in from London and New York to make this photo possible):
