OUT OF BODY HICCUPPING GOTHS: THE LAST LEG OF THE UR ANNIVERSARY TOUR

Monday, August 2nd, 2010

All good things come to an end, yes, but they don’t have to just peter out and evaporate, fart-like. Quite the opposite is happening for the last leg of the R U Listening Tour of 2010, which is saying bye-for-now with a bang this Friday, August 6, 2010, at The Collective in Makati.

Alterna-‘90s stalwarts Sugar Hiccup is headlining, and that should be reason enough to go. With a drastically different personnel (especially marked by the absence of singer Melody del Mundo, though this is no longer news), the band will be up on the witness stand being openly probed, “Will Hiccup still have a dot in the Pinoy music map in the unforgiving emo-2000s?” I personally have high hopes for a band whose output once hinged on the strange and the melodic (as well as the strangely melodic and the melodically strange).

Providing the musical counterpoint for the evening are hip-hop collective The Out of Body Special, whose bare-bones, rhythm-and-rhymes format never fails to excite; Reklamo, who, despite its devotion to “frustration, hate, and envy,” still manages to put a smile on people’s faces when they go amok on those guitars while donning odd time signatures (God bless you, LC de Leon); and Turbo Goth, who can always own any stage with the rowdiest (and possibly best-looking) two-person lineup in the land.

Rounding up the R U Listening Tour of 2010 roster are Salamin, Enemies of Saturn, Malay, and December Avenue. Once more, the last leg is happening this Friday, August 6, at The Collective, which is located at 7274 Malugay St., Makati City. Show starts at 7PM, and you absolutely don’t have to shell out a single centavo. Happy third, UR! (Pulse.ph)
