Romansa Espesyal by Mike's Apartment

Watched my friend Mike and his band, Mike's Apartment, at the Temple Bar last Jun 28. It started around 10:30 pm and I got home around 1am. Dragged 2 friends along for the gig: Michelle, my Canadian beauty, and Lalaine, my office siren. Of course, the usual, we had a round of drinks (courtesy of Mike, thanks so much!) and the 3 of us chatted away to the night (well we tried.. the first band was too loud, we were almost shouting at each others ears...). My favorite song that night is called "Deliryo" (I think) and it did sound so familiar. Quito (another officemate) said they have a video of it so I'm trying to look for it now.

Glad to know I have a new friend who actually has a band of his own. And to think Mike is so young and he can compose songs and belt it out with passion in front of people. WOW. I'm amazed, really. They said they have an LP out already and I plan to get one my self.

Their band, like all the other bands who played that night, are all underground. They don't exactly profit for their music (sometimes) but they do have the passion for it. Sometimes, those kinds are hard to beat in the music industry.

P.S. If Mike's Apartment sounds quite familiar but is NOT exactly what you would think of a band name, send me a message and I'll tell you all about it.
