While my friends and I were enjoying This Century and We are the In Crowd's music, the lights suddenly went off in Araneta and the LED screen lit up with an announcement: the first ever Bazooka Rocks. The line-up was BEYOND promising. The roster included my favorites (The Maine, Forever the Sickest Kids, Mayday Parade) along with a few other bands whose names I've only read on AP (The Wonder Years, A Skylit Drive, Marianas Trench, The Pretty Reckless). I nearly cried when I saw The Maine's greeting then completely lost it when Mayday Parade came up.
I counted the months preceding this day and after all that waiting, I finally got to see my favorite bands again! My morning started with a sprint towards a steel door and accidentally bumping my head. I was literally bleeding while I waited in line for the passes. It was soooo worth it, though! I got to hang out with ~kewl~ people and meet Mayday Parade (YES!) and Forever The Sickest Kids!
To promote their sophomore album, Symphony Soldier, The Cab headed over to Manila and played a few free shows. Because we were too hyped, my friends and I rushed from Pasig to Alabang just to see watch them check their equipment. (Soundcheck perks: seeing Singer without the beanie) Our eagerness paid off since we got to watch the show from the very front with our "Prom?" signs in hand. After crying over them last year, we finally got to see The Cab play live!
