Album Launch Highlights

Thoughts And Notions successfully launches their New Album

 

Cagayan de Oro based Inspirational Rock Band Thoughts And Notions successfully launched their self-titled sophomore album in an intimate but packed audience at Daru Bar last July 15, 2009. A buffet style dinner was served to the public before the show officially started. The event was no less participated by two of Cagayan de Oro's biggest bands to date, the Bis-Rock band Southrace, and the legendary CDO band Tabularaza. Southrace officially kickstarted the event by playing a repertoire of alternative rock covers as well as cuts from their albums including the chart topping new song Alone Tonight for their upcoming new album. Tabularaza followed by playing all original songs from their upcoming new album. Iking Ranises, Tabularaza's vocalist and main man, also gave out an impassioned speech about the plight of the Independent bands in the city who wishes to continue creating all original songs and hopes to find venues for bands such as them to be able to play their songs to a live audience. It is a very well known plight of the underground Indie music scene in our city to find venues and supporters to help them keep their music alive. He also exhorted for all to stop music piracy most especially the albums concerning the local CDO bands, that instead of ripping or burning the albums, people should instead buy the original as a sign of support not only to the concerned CDO artists, but also to the entire CDO music scene as a whole.         

 

Thoughts And Notions formally opened their set a few minutes past 10pm, with the band's founder and main lyricist Jasper Lloyd Tan sharing a brief band history and saying a round of thank yous to all of those who supported them since the beginning, including two local outlets, Musicvision and Coffeeworks, who partnered with them in this new album by making it available for sale to the general public. The band opened their set by playing songs from their first album "In Awe of His Amazing Love" followed by songs from their new album. The evening turned into an impromptu mini-concert as the band played a host of cover songs in honor of their musical heroes including songs by the now defunct Drizzle, one of Cagayan de Oro's more successful bands who were able to bring their music in Metro Manila's consciousness. The band ended the evening by playing their hit song Runaway Angel, the carrier single of their new album which has been consistently climbing up the charts in the 89.3 Killerbee Indie top 20 countdown. This song is also in heavy rotation in two of Metro Manila's Radio Stations, NU 107 and RJ 105.9 Underground Radio. For a sampling of the song, you can visit their official website at www.thoughtsandnotions.multiply.com

Overall, it was one great night and an album launching like no any other. As expected, Thoughts And Notions' new album is something to look forward to, judging by the audience participation of their songs that evening. We went home that evening with a smile on our face after one rocking evening not only with our stomach full, but also with a renewed spirit.
