STAind version 4 (revisited)


Formed last june,2007 at Sta barbara Pangasinan,Phillipines
as an indie group which showcases Pangasinan's local rock bands...

Staind continuous to pave way together with
several indie groups such as Barbarians
and Dagupan indie to provide
a place where bands and their music
can stay and be heard
forever...amen

STAind version 4 was held last january 9,2010 at a small but very inviting place called nipa hut garden..
And like the past STAind versions,this show rocked!!!

Here are the reasons why...



These were some of THE gears used during the show, Fresh from the balikbayan box...We almost thought of losing them 'coz there were troubles on the delivery...luckily it came at the last minute...

A big THANKS to mah man DON for lending them for the show...DON you're indeed the man!!!...yeah he's the guy with a brown shirt..

THE BANDS...


SHAMAN

Yah mahn! thats what i'll say..Shaman opened for the night.
These guys will let you sing bob marley tunes...
Reggae that sticks to your ears...
I really liked their cover of "new skin" from incubus..






CAT & MOUSE

Wuddup cuz?!...my cousin's band.
They did covers from Urbandub,and yes like the band,they made their instruments sound so clean..it's like listening to a cd.
The girls from that night were singin' along with the tunes.
They also played their original song.good job boys...



TRUBOS

rrrraaaaaarrrrhhhh....gggggrrrrooooowwwwwlllll...
Hebigat sounds! they took me back from the time when i was wearin' maong shorts,doc.martens boots and a white shirt..dude it almost felt like i'm in a slayer concert...yeah!!!




MUDSKILL

A well known band in some parts of pangasinan...well,based on my own survey actually..try asking about 'em at your school and you'll find out why i said so...they are a pure slapshock cover band...and they will really let you slamdance 'til your body aches...i think my neck hurt from head bangin' that night..


2ND SQUAD

I think i almost stopped breathing for a few seconds when i heard feedbacks from the amplifiers...feedbacks that are controlled and synchronized,emanating from their custom fx pedals made by my good friend neil.yes-MADE it on his own.they served us their newest singles that night.and left the audience cravin' for more. originally from baguio,they travelled down to rock with us..tnx guys..


WATER CHANNEL

Let the bodies hit the floor!!!-a very hypnotic lyrics from the song "Bodies"by Drowning pool... they did it so good my throat hurt from singing with them..and indeed there were bodies hitting the floor... literally...



SCRATCH ACID
Damn! thats what I heard from a guy within the crowd when their bassist suddenly threw his bass guitar,spinning it around his body and then catches it at a precise moment the band reaches the climax of their song...damn right?! they did some covers from Imbue No Kudos,and they covered it really well...oh and by the way i know the bassist...how are you man?]



FLUIDDE
Let the fluidde flow!!!another band from baguio...these guys were called Angel's fluidde back then when they were rockin' the tunes of Deftones... They recorded some really good nu metal sounds of their own...a guaranteed ear bleed in a way you will be addicted to... thanks for jammin' with us guys...











6.7
The soldiers from baguio won't let up...these guys scared the hell out of me!!! Imagine Pin Head holding a guitar with an army of white masks doing hard core songs-that's what 6.7 is all about...they made the crowd jump around...again...a big thanks guys...










MINERVA
A sister band from the brotherhood of malasiqui bands...Like their brothers,mudskill,they sound like Paramore was with us that night...They covered Paramore songs and man,She really sounded like Haley...








IMMITATIONS OF FAKE
You know you make me break-out!!!yeah!!!they are good friend of mine... a trio who cover songs from Foo Fighters...they did a pretty good job too...they came from other bands which has been around way back then...rock and roll baby..rock and roll...







DECIBELLE
Ehem...This is our band...uhmmm... PLACE COMMENT HERE... Well we did covers from Queso...I think we rocked...I think...







Well,to sum it all up,that evenin' was great...a lot of people enjoyed the show and a lot of them were asking for more...Some people criticized some...but all in all...Staind will still be around... 'til next time guys...
