When Old School Meets New School

THE EMBASSY of FRANCE, ALLIANCE FRANCAISE de MANILLE
in partnership with ALTERNATIVE ASSETS and B-SIDE present:

FETE DE LA MUSIQUE 2011:
La VIELLE x La NOUVELLE – Old School meets New School

100+ Bands.
14 Genres.
8 Stages.
1 Night.

Look, the line-up!

NOTE:  Meiday Stage STAYS at The Keg, Fort Strip tomorrow while the rest of the Fete stages are moving to The Collective in Malugay St., Makati.

 

I’ve been attending Fete De La Musique since 2005 (except for a skip last year since Fete wasn’t held here in Manila) and it has always been a good way to hear various music while sharing it with  friends and strangers alike. Fete has always been memorable for me. And tomorrow, rain or shine, I know it will be the same again!

Stage-hopping (as me and my friend, Aie, would say) is one activity to do in Fete. It could be mighty tiring but it sure is fun! But if I were to stay on one stage tomorrow, you’ll most likely see me here.

 

(Us-2-Evil-O won’t be playing anymore, but Outerhope and The Royal has been added in the line-up!)

It’s Meiday x Fete! Come! Let’s dance to this beautiful line-up! I haven’t attended Meiday for so long and tomorrow is just the perfect timing to make a comeback! Yay!

So see you tomorrow? Lezgow!

To my first-ever bestfriend from the underground music scene, a happy happy birthday to you, Aie Cristobal!

I can vividly remember when we would cry about missing gigs or when we would gush over our musical crushes from the local gigging scene. Or when we would push our schedules just to see Up Dharma Down and Ang Bandang Shirley and when we would save our allowances to be able to attend that gig happening on the weekend.

And I remember when I would have problems with school and when you would have problems with your Mom, we would talk non-stop on the phone and would even schedule our Unlitxt 20 services.

Now we’re all grown-up and well, more focused on the more serious side of life.

Oh how fast time flew and how many trials we have faced – but see, we are still here, friends and despite the distance, together.

I love you B1!
