Likhanan invites everyone to "Pa-gig Para sa Puso"!

Be blown away by some of the best local indie bands today

Cambio

Peryodiko

March 24, 8 P.M. at the '70s Bistro, Anonas Ave. Quezon City.

Also, catch the screening of the Purplechickens' video for their song "Dream Systems," which won 1st place at the 19th Gawad CCP for the Animated Video category.

Have fun and contribute to the fundraising for Rorie Fajardo, writer and journalist, whose brother recently underwent angioplasty at the Philippine Heart Center. Rorie, a friend of Likhanan, is the family's breadwinner. Unfortunately, like millions of Filipinos, she and her family have no medical benefits, insurance or savings.

All ticket proceeds will go to a fund that will help Rorie’s family pay hospital and post-recovery therapy bills.

For the tickets, please contact Becky (09175362638), Clarissa (09212750731), Grace (09178167492) or Liezl (09209085734).

For more information on the fundraising cause, please contact Rorie (09053154986).

About the bands...

Cambio, in a nutshell, is a supergroup. More or less ten bands are well-represented in this group’s ranks, featuring at least three frontmen, a frontwoman, and the most celebrated rhythm section of the past decade. Their major label debut, Derby Light, is still out in the market, although these days, they could be heard previewing several songs from their upcoming follow-up disc.

Ciudad can get you to bob your heads, shake your toes, and, not surprisingly, they can get you to jump around, too. This is geek rock, sure, but these guys are no lightweights in musicianship and songwriting. Their third album, It’s Like a Magic, is a collection of songs they wrote prior to their debut in 2000.

Peryodiko is singer-songwriter Vin Dancel’s first proper post-Twisted Halo outfit. Dancel almost called this band “Manong,” but it didn’t slide quite well. In any case, Peryodiko’s lineup is perhaps the most enviable of all, featuring members from Indio-I, Affinity, and Greyhoundz, among various other bands of equal caliber. Listening to Peryodiko’s music is, on any given day, better than reading disheartening news.

The Purplechickens recently bagged the 1st Prize at the Gawad CCP Video Animation category for the video of their almost-two-year-old single “Dream Systems.” Two band members have also put out poetry books, Babel by Mayo Uno Martin (from High Chair Press), and Vocalese by Aldus Santos (from Likhanan, Inc.). They are currently recording material for their sophomore CD entitled Girls, Etc.
