Again, Wolfgang will be taking the stage again on December 1 at 19 East in Sucat. This will be just a few days before they rock out in Dubai so it will be quite a show. For tickets, call: 0906.103.5333

Part of the proceed would go to the benefit of the victims of recent disasters.
This is Wolfgang’s eighth show since the informal hiatus that the band took in the early part of this decade. Let’s count down those eight shows
1. Peligro (Makati, 2004?) – This absolutely was the most emotionally-charged moment for a Wolfgang fan in the years immediately after Basti Artadi’s unexpected “sorta-farewell” message. People who got in had the time of their lives while those outside bitched and moaned like there was no tomorrow – guess which group I was in.
2-3. Alive Music Museum Concerts (January 2007 x 2) – The Alive concerts are just way too hard to top in terms of milestones. Not only did these concerts allow more people to see Wolfgang – okay fine, three of the original members — it also hinted at the potential of a new album despite the ridiculous geographical challenges.
4. Black Christmas at Eastwood (December 2008) – This concert featured the release of VILLAINS – Wolfgang’s sixth studio album. Read the entry if you want to really know how I felt about this concert.
5. Two Sides Live at Music Museum (March 2009) - This had major technical problems during the beginning – it was very annoying to see the tech guys fumble with the microphone. Kevin Roy’s mic malfunctioned several times. And wow, the bouncers were absolutely ridiculous. The idea of sitting down in a rock concert is absurd – in my opinion, since the people on stage are standing up, leaving your seat while the band is playing is a sign of respect. But no, these bouncers were ready to spoil the party. ANNOYING BITCHES. Good thing Lizza fixed things when it was Wolfgang’s turn to play already.
6. The Singapore Set
7. The Cebu Set

My Wishlist for Hit N Run
1. Well, the first wish has already been granted – sort of. This will be a STANDING ROOM ONLY venue so those bouncers will have no business forcing people to take their seats. I was really annoyed during Two Sides Live and I’m really happy that steps have been taken to ensure that no similar incidents would happen for Hit N Run.
2. More Black Mantra… PLEASE! Quick, let’s do a Wolfgang post-Wolf Gemora pop quiz. How many Black Mantra songs has Wolfgang played in those seven concerts? You want to know the answer? ONE. Yes. ONE. And it’s Judas Noose. I have no idea if the songs are just too hard to play or there’s some darker reasons for the band not wanting to select tracks from this release. I personally love Black Mantra and I’d love to hear No Falter live.
3. I hope the band would play more songs that we haven’t heard in a long time! Here are the songs that they always play - Arise, Mata ng Diyos, Halik ni Hudas, Center of The Sun, Sanctified, Tulisan and Very Free. I hope they throw in RATZ, Heavenspent or Catinamosh.
4. The Alive DVD! I honestly don’t think it will be out next month, but one could hope, right?
See you all on December 1!
Evil is our lair!

hahaha, you will always beat me to the punch!
here are some quick answers:
1. NO, while it is true that I have tried to insinuate the burly beeyatches back into the mix, in this case there will be just the very minimum and by command of the band, will be out of the way. In case there are any complaints, I will be on the floor (as opposed to the balcony), armed with a tayzer
2. There is no dark conspiracy and I think you may very well get your wish. If it's any consolation, I copy every single song suggested off facebook and circulate it at rehearsals… and they do get entered into the big black book…With Mon back in town, jamming is in full swing and the setlist may surprise you (if that is at all possible, benj:)) Ha! I shall add Heavenspent….Let's see what develops…
3. The Alive DVD was scheduled for 2010 from the very beginning – and my hopes for coming out with the 2SidesLive DVD are still alive but to tell the truth, the back-to-back typhoons all but destroyed Wombworks, which escaped permanent damage by a hair's breadth. Luckily it was on the 3rd floor – the first 2 being obliterated. Power continues to be unstable and we have been unable to move as quickly with the audio as we would have wanted.. meaning simply laying it into the video, for one, is a gargantuan effort. The video part is 90% done by the way. (Thank God that is being edited in a safer part of the city!) I know it's a big disappointment and no one is perhaps as disappointed as us…but in this case force majeure would be the right phrase. We must all bow to the majesty of mother nature…
Send in more wishes and as usual, we rely on your sage advice!
1. Awesome.
2. I sure hope so. I love Black Mantra.<del datetime="2009-11-06T17:59:11+00:00"> I would rather hear songs off Black Mantra rather than the songs from Villains.</del>
3. Man, I didn't know that Wombworks was that affected. Good thing nothing irreplaceable was lost.
Black Mantra has a couple decent songs in it. Why the fans have such seething hatred of it – and why Wolfgang has yet to play it live – is a mystery to me.
Who hates Black Mantra?!
Great Blog! Glad i stumbled upon it! I too am honored to have been at the shows that the band has done since Basti migrated to the states, well at lease those of which were held in Manila. Can't wait for hit and run and yes, thank God is SRO!
