Atheista -

It’s my birthday so I figured that I would do something I’ve never done on a video blog…. I SHALL SING! This is 24 by Wolfgang. If you’re a member of Wolfgang (whether the band or the management team) or is a diehard like myself, keep in mind that it is my birthday. HAHA

Don’t waste your time telling me that I got nothing on Basti – we all know that already. haha

Thanks for all the greetings. Thanks for reading my blog.

This one is just awesome! Thank you Karla Redor! I believe this was taken during the Semenelin performance.

More photos can be seen at Carlo Roderos‘ Multiply. His photo got published on the Philippine Star!

I believe Marocharim and Sha have also written about their experiences during the concert.

Basti Artadi, Mon Legaspi, Manuel Legarda and Wolfgang’s de facto drummer Francis Aquino took the stage to deliver what was promised to be a very long set. They started things slow with the easy-going verses of “Mata Ng Diyos” that sent people singing their lungs out. The fairly easy opening lines then soon give way to the gut-busting phrasing of the chorus – but heck, people were still singing!  It was a curious case for a first song – Alive 2007 started off with “Center Of The Sun” while the Black Christmas project of 2008 featured the first track off the Wurm album “Sanctified”. It was great to have the guys draw the crowd in for an early sing-along session though.

After that, there was definitely no stopping Wolfgang from cranking the volume up to  earbleed levels. Keeping true to playing songs that true blue would know by heart, the band played the very hard-hitting “I…” from the Semenelin album. I honestly think that this could have been a big radio hit had it been released as a single. They then segued in to a reworked version of “Atomica” from Serve In Silence and as a tribute to the most loyal fan  “New Mother Nature” – again from the Semenelin album. Only a few people were singing, but they (*ehem* we) were singing ever so proudly. Continue Reading »

I was one of the privileged people to have known about Two Sides Live so it was really hard for me to keep things under wraps for so long. When it was formally released two months ago, the countdown began to an amazing one-night only acoustic-and-electric epic night that only a band at Wolfgang’s level could only pull off!

The show promptly started at 9pm with some of the seats still empty due to the much expected Filipino habit of wanting a dramatic and unfashionably later entrance. Razorback set the stage ablaze by opening the show by doing one of their most recognizable songs “Payaso” off the groove-heavy Beggar’s Moon album. As promised by one of the movers behind the concert (a person who shall now be referred as Lizza Nakpil), the theme was going to be playing up to the seldomly performed songs of both bands.

I just got back from the hallowed grounds of Music Museum. The concert was absolutely amazing. It’s nice to pretend for one night that Wolfgang never really left.

Here’s the playlist. I’m not too sure about the order (and I might be missing a few songs) since I was trying to dislocated my neck most of the time during the concert.

Razorback

1. Payaso
2. Temple
3. Daan-Daang Dahilan
4. Empire Accretia
5. As Spicy As It Gets
6. Manna
7. Tikmanangulan
8. Voodoo Who Do?
9. Wakasan
10. Nakaturo Sa’yo

Wolfgang

1. Mata Ng Diyos –
2. I… – the first of many obscure songs… everybody still knew haha
3. Atomica – with a totally different intro that confused people a bit.
4. A New Mother Nature – oh yes, they played this.
5. Hell Looks
6. Cathedral Of Space – yes, I’m serious. They played this.
7. RP DEATH SQUAD

Then… Tirso went out again to play with Manuel for the acoustic set.

1. Cast Of Clowns
2. Left Alone
3. Bought And Sold
4. Gusto Mo Pa Ba?
5. ANINO!!!!

The band then reverted to the full set.

1. Arise
2. Halik Ni Hudas
3. Natutulog Kong Mundo
4. A Matter Of Time
5. Semenelin – first time I heard this song live!!! I was singing my heart out.

Encore:
Darkness Fell
Center of the Sun

If you were at the concert, it was a privilege to have shared this experience with other fellow die-hards who were screaming their lungs out to almost every song.

Wolfgang played 19 (!) songs!

Breakdown per album:
Wolfgang – 6
Semenelin – 7
Wurm – 2
Serve In Silence – 2
Black Mantra – ZERO ZERO ZERO. Man, this album got shafted again. I guess the band has issues with this album. This was after all, the album they produced before they went inactive.
Villains – 2

After six years, Wolfgang has found itself a new growth to its music, bringing fans a refreshing yet familiar taste of Pinoy rock.

Out of the Darkness is a five-part series that covers four phases: the Album, the Band, the Production (2 parts), and the Concert. It is a coming together that forms one journey and answers many unrequited matters. The episodes are released over the course of five days, with one episode being released per day. The schedule is as follows:

March 2, 2009: Part 1 – The Album
March 3, 2009: Part 2 – The Band
