Rebolusyon Rekords Pilipinas

Bert Sulat Jr wrote a nice review of BLUESKRIEG on Philippine Daily Inquirer of Sept. 8, 2009.

“Blueskrieg”
Various Artists
Rebolusyon Rekords/Vicor

“Blueskrieg” was the moniker for a multiband blues show in 1995 at Club Dredd. A decade and many such gigs later, the event’s impresario, Gerry Diwa, produced “Blueskrieg,” an album containing 15 “original Pilipino blues music” by five bands: Plug, Snakecharmer, Firebottle, Dahon and Kulukati.

These livewire groups may be classified along the blues-rock stripe, as opposed to the straightforward-blues type. As such, while traditional blues elements like the 12-bar structure and down-and-out lyricism are perceptible here, so are rock flourishes ranging from Southern rock, classic rock, even funk and Pinoy rock. Any sonic apparitions of the blues’ forebears tend to get buried in the hodgepodge of influences that echo the Rolling Stones, Sly and the Family Stone, The Black Crowes, The Cult, Red Hot Chili Peppers, and Juan de la Cruz.

Blues purists may snicker, but for the “Blueskrieg” bands, blistering guitar solos, resounding howls and loud volume still rule—especially in the case of Snakecharmer. The album’s significance lies in the thought that the blues, as an essentially Afro-American genre, sounds pretty good as well in Pinoy hands.

I thought it was a special and memorable blues night, great line up, nice venue, nice sound, nice vibes.

I had the gig captured on two video cameras and I also recorded the audio multi track (drums overhead, kick, bass guitar, guitar 1, guitar 2, vocals and the stereo mix from the house). My impression after skimming the captured video and audio material is that we may be able to make something out of it, (DVD anyone?). We did not capture all, but we captured a lot.

Lots of footage and clips of Lampano Alley, Kulukati, Snakecharmer, PLUG and The Long Johns.

I’ll be posting music videos on an installment basis coz it takes a ton of time to edit the video to the mixed sound track. iMovie has only 1 video track and I’m doing multi-cam edits that need to be synced to the audio - yeah, it’s a torture and pain but have to do it that way until I get Final Cut Express HD.
The mixing of the multi-track audio parts is kinda easy, mostly balancing and taming the spikes, to retain the live feel, as much as possible 60% should come from the house mix.

Anyway, here is the first music video installment….
