Flippish.com: The Pinoy TV Channel on your Computer!

Flippish.com is the website to go to watch fresh and original Pinoy shows online. I'm really amazed that TV is really now on the internet(or the internet is now on your TV hehe!).

I remember not so long ago, whenever I want to watch a show or the latest rock music videos, I would have to sit and wait for a long time in front of the TV for it. Good thing now that we have the internet and we can watch the shows we want on-demand. And music videos may easily be searched and viewed via YouTube.

But if you're looking for something new, something different and something Pinoy, then I highly recommend you visit Flippish.com. With a very wide variety of shows, I'm pretty sure they have something that you would enjoy. For me, my favorite shows are Happy Endings, Ashley's Playlist and LSS: Last Song Syndrome.

By the way, a little trivia: my alternative rock band, Hedgezero, was featured in their show LSS a few years back. Check it out here!

Manila Music Festival 2012

The Manila Music Festival is coming this May! Let's go and show our love for the local music scene by supporting this event. :)

Below is the official press release from the organizers:

Manila Music Festival 2012
May 1, 2012
Aseana Ave. Alphaland Bay City Grounds in Paranaque City


Manila Music Festival is an event organized by Volume Unit Entertainment, the same group that made the highly successful Malasimbo Music and Arts Festival. The two day celebration that was held last February 18-19, 2011.

The Philippine music scene is unique. With the energy, excitement, and passion that the artists brings on and off the stage just sets the house jumping over the ground. Filipino bands, performers, DJ’s, songwriters and dancers alike give their mind and soul whenever they perform, making them one of the greatest performers of the world.

Regardless of the massive number of talents, the number of musical events in the Philippines are very low. Yes, there are somewhat a number of annual music festivals like Pulp Summer Slam and the San Miguel Oktoberfest, which might I say remarkable, but with the talents that our local artists have, there is basically no excuse not to come up with a bigger astounding that will leave the world so dumbstruck they won’t even know what hit them.

Now VUE is back for another round of fun and excitement through the art of music. Showcasing some of the greatest musicians both international and local.

So girls and boys Mark your calendars on May 1, 2012. In cooperation with Sofitel Philippine Plaza, Ticketworld, Department of Tourism, and Universal Zulu Nation. About 5,000 people will take part and experience yet another historic event in our country’s music scene. DJ’s, Bands, and solo performers around the world will be participating and witness one of the most booming and prosperous event this year. The Manila Music Festival is bound to be an outbreak of melodies, symphonies, notes, beats and lyrics from all music genres.

Volume Unit Entertainment has two main roles: First is change-making, which they already did and currently doing. Second is to put on an awesome show that will exceed beyond expectations and will defy all limits of imagination.

The Finishing Moves / How to Start a Band Tip #2

My band The Finishing Moves started back in June 2011. I was out looking for a new group to play with since my band at that time decided to take a break for awhile. I met Chris, our bassist, in a tryout jam for a "Creed" inspired cover band. Unfortunately, the band did not push through but we kept in touch.

After a few weeks, I got a message from Chris inviting me to join an alternative rock band he was forming. He said he already has a drummer, Tobs, and he's out looking for a guitar player and a singer. At that time I was already talking to Les, our vocalist, and planning a band him with too so I also invited him to join us as well. And it turned out pretty well! After a few jams, Chris invited his friend, Weak, to join and play the guitar for us and so The Finishing Moves was born!

Even though we have different tastes in music, we have successfully created a good alternative sound that we could call our own. Our inspirations include the following bands: Minus the Bear, Mutemath, Toe, Mastodon and Radiohead.

We have recorded 2 original songs which are currently posted in our facebook band page http://www.facebook.com/tfmrocks

Go check them out! They're streaming for free! :) And as I always say: "If you like what you hear, please like and share our facebook page to your friends as well."

How to start a band tip #2: Go out and find other musicians to play with.

Local forums like Philmusic could open up doors for your musical journey. This forum has Musician Classifieds as well as specialized forums discussing the different topics including musical instruments. Just be open to opportunities and have fun.

Enjoy!
