Excitement Mounts for the Return of Fall Out Boy

EXCITEMENT MOUNTS FOR THE RETURN OF FALL OUT BOY

In a week or so from now, the multi-awarded band Fall Out Boy is back in Manila for the 3rd time. And if the sold out status is any indication, the fans surely can’t wait for it!


After their massively successful shows in the US, the 4 piece band composed of vocalist Patrick Stump, guitarist Joe Trohman, drummer Andy Hurly and bassist Pete Wentz are set to ignite another explosive show in the Smart Araneta Coliseum. With massive hits such as “Dance, Dance”, “Sugar We’re Going Down”, “Thriller”, “ThnksFrThMmrs” and among others under their belt, it’s guaranteed that the show is going to be one colossal pop punk party. Especially now with the release of their latest opus, “Save Rock and Roll”, the boys have added another round of strong artillery in their already robust discography.

“We were just trying to make the most distilled version of FallOutBoy that we possible can”, shares Pete when asked to describe the excitement of playing the new songs live. “We wanna do something that wasn’t in comparison with anything we’ve done.” He adds.

Indeed, SAVE ROCK AND ROLL is unlike anything they’ve done. Delving into more mature themes, the boys have grown not only lyrically, but also musically. And one of the things they’ve done differently this time around is their several collaborations with different artists such as Foxes, Elton John and Courtney Love. In relation to this, Pete relates, “It seems we wanted to make an album that was balanced – especially coming up with an album called SAVE ROCK AND ROLL. We felt it has got to have different phases to what your idea of rock and roll is. So that was a notion behind getting Big Sean, Courtney Love and Foxes versus Elton John. But all in all, we wanna make songs that people would wanna listen to”

And Pete’s sentiments have truly turned into reality as the boys recently bagged Best Single in the recently concluded Kerrang Awards for their single “Phoenix”. Of which, the band comments, “It means a lot more than we can express”. “Phoenix” shall truly be one of the highlights in their upcoming August 8 show.

So join in the fun and brush up on the lyrics of the new Fall Out Boy songs. Grab a copy of SAVE ROCK AND ROLL released under available on iTunes Philippines under MCA Music (Universal Music Philippines) now. Watch them LIVE on Thursday, August 8, 2013 for Save Rock and Roll World Tour concert at the Smart Araneta Coliseum. Tickets are available at Ticketnet outlets and at www.ticketnet.com.ph. Presented by Ovation Productions and Music Management International.

OneRepublic performs in Manila this November 2013

OneRepublic first achieved success as the number one unsigned act on MySpace Music. Their debut album, Dreaming Out Loud, released in 2007 includes the singles “Stop and Stare,” “Say (All I Need)” and the smash hit “Apologize” which ranks in the Top 50 on the Billboard Hot 100’s All-Time Top Songs list. A remix version of “Apologize” was also featured on Timbaland’s album released the same year. In 2008, they toured with Maroon 5 and even appeared on the American Idol finale, alongside David Archuleta.

The band’s second album, Waking Up, was released in 2009 and had four official singles, “All the Right Moves,” “Secrets,” “Marchin’ On,” and “Good Life.” The singles and other songs from the album have been widely featured and even used as promotional material for US TV shows and movies. “Secrets,” was used in the movie The Sorcerer’s Apprentice and TV shows Lostand Pretty Little Liars; “Good Life” was featured in the trailers for the movies One Day and Eat Pray Love.

OneRepublic’s latest album, Native, was released in March 2013 and became the band’s highest charting album to date. In creating their third full-length album, the band traveled to Paris, Greece, London, New York, Seattle, and Vancouver to write, record, and immerse themselves in elevating and expanding their already-sweeping sound. Also working at lead singer/songwriter/ keyboardist and GRAMMY® winner Ryan Tedder’s own Patriot Studios in Denver, OneRepublic redefined their approach to rhythm and infused their high-powered rock-pop hybrid with elements of electronic music, gospel, blues, and folk.

“There’s this crazy juxtaposition happening on the album,” says Tedder, whose bandmates include Zach Filkins (guitar), Drew Brown (guitar), Brent Kutzle (bass, cello), and Eddie Fisher (drums). “On one hand we tiptoed into the EDM world and brought in that energy, drive, and tempo, but on the other it’s got a lot of acoustic guitar and a much more organic feel than what we’ve done before.” For help in achieving that supercharged but soulful sound, OneRepublic collaborated with leading-edge producers like Philippe Zdar (the French composer known for his work with artists like Phoenix, The Beastie Boys, Cat Power, and Depeche Mode), Jeff Bhasker (Kanye west, Jay Z, the Rolling Stones,  Fun.) and Benny Blanco (Maroon 5, Rihanna, Gym Class Heroes).  Nativealso features some guest artists, such as Adele backup singer Bobbie Gordon, as well as Grecian harpist HarpEri, (recruited while OneRepublic was recording at the famed Black Rock Studios in Santorini).

Though the album’s built on deftly crafted beats and intricately textured arrangements, a spirit of simplicity stands at the heart of Native. “Our goal is always to put out the most honest record possible. So even though we’re very much inspired by EDM, I also love what’s happening with folk music today. It’s cool to see that the world doesn’t always need 300 beats per minute, that just an acoustic guitar and a voice can connect with people,” says Tedder, who also points out that “the swampy, stompy feel of Southern Delta blues” played a major role in helping OneRepublic to instill Native with a certain raw energy. OneRepublic also looked to the folk and blues movements in teasing out the emotional content of Native. “These new songs are about mortality, love, hope, desperation, faith, failure—the whole gamut of human emotion,” Tedder says. “We try to give the lyrics a certain gravity without being preachy, and make the kind of music that music that connects with people not just at a party or a club on Saturday night.”

Concert Roundup: 10 Reasons why Daniel Padilla rocked The Big Dome in his first major birthday concert

Title: 10 Reasons why Daniel Padilla rocked The Big Dome in his first major birthday concert
Written by Jamie Ortega 

Last April 30, 2013, fans of teen sensation Danilla Padilla packed the Smart-Araneta Coliseum to support their idol’s first birthday concert entitled Daniel Live. As early as 4pm, supporters were already spotted lining up outside the venue to make sure they got a good view of their idol as he celebrated his special day with his family, friends, and other special guests. Here are some of our favorite moments from the concert. If you were also there at the show, feel free to share what you loved about the concert too!
1) The classic rock repertoire. Most of the songs that Daniel sang were from the classic rock genre, a genre which heavily influenced his personal taste in music. It’s good that someone of his stature took an extra step to expose his generation to music from the yesteryears- circa ‘60s, ‘70s and ‘80s. Music wouldn’t be where it is without the contribution of rock stars and pop stars from those eras, and we must never forget that. For his opening number, Daniel sang “We Will Rock You” by Queen. He also performed “Come Together” by the Beatles along with his special guests, members of Star Magic artists Khalil Ramos, Kit Thompson, Michelle Vito, Liza Soberano, Ingrid dela Paz, etc.

2) The OPM touch. Daniel made sure that he also showcased a side of himself that his supporters are more familiar with- his OPM side! He sang “Kamusta Ka,” “Sisikat Din Ako,” and his version of the Rivermaya original “Hinahanap-Hanap Kita,” all from his debut self-titled platinum album. Adding a lot of kilig to the OPM repertoire was his current hit “Nasa Iyo Na Ang Lahat,” which he sang together with his ka-love team Kathryn Bernardo. Daniel has openly mentioned in his previous interviews that his stepfather Naldy Padilla, a member of the OPM rock band Orient Pearl, helped shape his musical talent. That being said, it was heartwarming to see him perform the Orient Pearl “Pagsubok” as his final song, like he was thanking him for being such a positive musical influence in his life.

3) Daniel changed the landscape of the concert industry by being the first artist to have his concert aired through Pay-Per View. Fans of today’s brightest star got to join in on the fun at the comforts of their own home for only 399. Plus, they were also able to catch exclusive behind-the-scenes tidbits before the live coverage. No money to pay for tickets? No problem! There is a new way to watch your favorite concerts.

4) The top-notch production design. If this is a sign of things to come in the local concert industry, then this writer will be very, very happy. The concert backdrop, composed of vintage cars and huge chains, totally fit Daniel’s classic rocker personality. The different hued lights, ranging from orange, blue, and green, coupled with smoke blowing out of pipes at the side of the stage, turned the stage into a really magnificent spectacle.

5) Daniel’s surprise number with his brothers. Say what you will about the Padillas, but if there is one thing that cannot be denied about them it is how loyal they are to each other. Daniel, together with his siblings JC, Ralph and RJ, whom he introduced as his partners in crime, got the crowd going with their surprise performance of novelty hit, Mr. Suave. How to describe their performance? Well, hilarious doesn’t even begin to cut it! It would be awesome if they all starred in their own comedy show, judging by the cheers and screams that filled the coliseum we boldly predict it will be a top-rater! 

6) The night’s surprise guests. Journey vocalist Arnel Pineda brought the house down with his mesmerizing rendition of “I Don’t Want To Miss A Thing”, while Yeng Constantino together with rapper Smuggalz stole the show with her rendition of the Riveramaya original “Awit Ng Kabataan”. One can never go wrong when it comes to the Pop Rock Princess’ stellar vocals and amazing stage presence. It would take every ounce of one’s strength to not stand up and dance whenever she performs!

7) Vice-Ganda’s segment. This writer purposely separated Vice-Ganda’s appearance from the other performers because he really had the audience in the palm of his hand. From the time Vice appeared, wearing a black top and black shorts with a huge cross necklace as an accessory,all eyes were on him. The screams and shrieks magnified to about a gazillion decibels when Vice taught Daniel and onscreen partner Kathryn how to make their rendition of “Ako’y Sa’yo “more kilig-worthy. He also convinced Daniel to do popular dance moves, “Harlem Shake” “Teach Me How To Dougie,” and Psy’s “Gentleman.”

8) The super kilig Kathniel moments. The Kathniel fans had the time of their lives when Daniel, wearing a nicely-tailored silver suit, sang the first part of “Ako’y Sa Iyo At Ika’y Akin Lamang,” followed by Kathryn who walked out singing in a champagne-colored gown. It was as if the audience was witnessing a live prom onstage! Kathryn’s birthday message for Daniel was very sweet, too. She said,”Congratulations kasi di ba dream come true mo na ito? Super proud kami sa yo. At saka sana talaga mag-tuloy-tuloy ang blessings at saka huwag kayong magsawang suportahan si DJ kasi sobrang bait niyang tao talaga. I'm happy talaga para sa kanya,” she shared. Awww!

9) Daniel’s gorgeous costume changes. Ton Lau, Daniel’s stylist, picked the perfect pieces that highlighted the teen sensation’s rocker boy persona. Some of Daniel’s stand-outs outfits that night were a green military-inspired jacket, a crisp white polo matched with a black jacket and paired with a nice pair of suede boots, plus this writer’s personal favorite, a simple but sleek gray jacket, gray pants paired with a black tie.

10) Daniel fans rejoice- There will be a part 2! In an interview on Showbiz Inside Report Daniel revealed that he is planning to stage another concert next year! “Pahinga daw ako pero next year daw meron,” he said. We can hear the screams as early as now!

Concert Roundup: Demi's 1st Headline Concert in Manila

Concert Roundup: Demi's 1st headline concert in Manila

Written by Jhoanne Mariano

Edited by Jamie Ortega

The Big Dome was filled with teen hearts last March 20 for the first concert of Demi Lovato in Manila. Our very own Khalil Ramos performed for the opening act, his fans made sure that their presence and support for Khalil would be noticeable with all their clapping and howling. A few minutes after his performance, the venue went dim while the crowd went crazy filling the coliseum with screaming fans and glow sticks everywhere already pumped for the concert they’ve been waiting for since their first experience of Demi in Disney’s Camp Rock. As soon as the band started performing and demi began waltzing on the stage, fans of all ages went ballistic at the sight of the singer.

Demi Lovato started off with Unbroken, from her third studio album released last 2011. It was then followed by Get Back from her début studio album, which topped the music charts in different countries including the Philippines. She continued with Here We Go Again, La La Land, and Don’t Forget – another hit from her début album. It was followed by My Love Is Like A Star and a cover of a Miranda Lambert song, The House That Built Me.

Demi’s lyrics were filled with different emotions up by her enthralling voice and her heartfelt delivery, proving what an amazing artist she is. Fix A Heart, Catch Me, and Lightweight were the next set of songs she performed. She then sang the song that touched hearts all over the world, Skyscraper. Seeing her singing it, as she felt each word with tears in her eyes, it was like watching a scene out of a movie. Being able to move so many hearts at the age of 20 is so amazing, having that talent in writing and singing, sharing it with the world, proving what a wonderful person she is and how she used her talent for the greater good to stop the waterworks, she then performed a Chris Brown cover, Turn Up The Music. It’s pretty amazing to see Demi possess so much energy to do an excelt delivery of a dance tune after all the songs she’s been performing, but that’s simply her way to keep her fans as entertained as possible. During one of her songs, she even stopped the bouncers which were keeping her fans from standing up and enjoying the night, it only goes to show how sweet she is artists rarely do that in the Philippines but she did.

Heart Attack which is her new single off her upcoming self-titled album, and Remember December were her last two songs on her set list. All 14 songs were not quite enough for her fans because after they left the stage and bid farewell, people started chanting her name and begging for more from her. After several minutes of roaring “Demi!” and “We want more!” over and over, Demi fulfilled their wishes and went back for one last song which was Give Your Heart A Break. Fans dancing and singing along all night made sure that her last song would not be a waste; everybody was up on their seats rocking along as if it was the start of the night. She left the stage with such a worthwhile message that NO ONE should ever make you feel that you’re not special and if you do, you can always rise above them like a skyscraper; wise words  from such a wise and talented girl.
