Rebolusyon Rekords Pilipinas

I would consider the BLUESKRIEG CD launch party last night (Saturday, November 25, 2006) a smashing blues music and Pinoy rock affair - great music, great bands, great vibes. Here we are with a CD of Pinoy blues songs and music - 11 years after the first and only BLUESKRIEG concert at Club Dredd in 1995 - this is a Pinoy blues music revolution - the soldiers are the brave Pinoy blues bands featured in the Blueskrieg CD - the battle is for the Filipinos hearts and minds - that the music will be appreciated and understood. At the launch party last night - it seems we won a handful of hearts and minds!

Thanks a lot to the following for making the evening a truly enjoyable blues night to remember

- The BLUE RATS band for a great sounding, hard grooving set of classic blues songs
- all the people who came to support their bands/friends

We also have video footage of selected numbers - coming soon to a YouTube near you.

We truly had a reason to celebrate last night - there was just so much time and work that went into the making of the BLUESKRIEG CD - from the recording sessions, harmonizing all the schedules of five different bands to the mixing sessions, to the mastering sessions, to the CD packaging and art design - a LOT OF WORK. Thanks to May Diwa for her all out support for this project. Thanks to all the guys at Sound Weavers who helped make it happen; Mon Reynera, Doff Sandigan, CJ Salonga. Thanks to Joric Maglanque for facilitating this project into such a quickstart from idea to reality.

Come the first week of December, the Blueskrieg CDs should be available in most major record stores like Odyssey, Tower Records and MusicOne. Tell your friends, tell your parents - they will surely find a lot of songs to like in the CD. And tell the kids - this is music for the soul.
Long live Pinoy blues music. Hats off to DAHON, FIREBOTTLE, KULUKATI, PLUG and SNAKECHARMER! You guys rock!

BLUESKRIEG contains fifteen (15) original songs that arguably cover the wide gamut of blues music varieties, from standard 12-bar blues, to soul/rnb tinged blues, to classic rock, southern rock, country rock style blues to modern heavy blues based rock…

There was an advanced listening party cum blues night gig at Conspiracy Bar last Nov. 4 - overall the reaction to the songs and mixes were quite positive - just a few enhancements, very few rough edges. Click here for commentary on the  performances that bluesy Saturday night in Quezon City.
The BLUESKRIEG term was coined by Gerry Diwa in 1995 for a blues night feature concert in Club Dredd, the hotspot for original music back in those days.

Watch out for the BLUESKRIEG CD and related activities. The launch party is on November 25, 2006 at 6Underground in Makati. All five (5) BLUESKRIEG bands will be there with special guests THE BLUE RATS. Watch out.
