After doing the ballsy move of taking Nine Inch Nails to town August of last year, Splintr is at it again and now, they’ve put together yet another concert that could one of the best to ever hit the country. Chino Moreno and the rest of Deftones are coming over on February 12 2011 at the World Trade Center (Pasay City) to hold a show to promote their newest album Diamond Eyes.
I am personally excited for this concert since I’ve been listening to Deftones for over the last ten years. Anyone who lived through turn of the decade and listened to NU107 would have been very familiar with the hauntingly beautiful Be Quiet and Drive and the almost ethereal sexual innuendos of Digital Bath. Vocalist Chino Moreno has one of the most unique voices in modern rock and the music has always managed to become ambient but still very heavy despite being somewhat soothing at the same time. I actually have three (White Pony, Around The Fur and the self-titled album) physical albums of this band – that’s a big deal nowadays considering the sheer popularity of P2P.
Tickets are already available at Ticketworld (891-9999). VIP tickets are for 5000, gold tickets go for 3500 and the silver tickets are at 1500. You can also check out your favorite record bars for the new Diamond Eyes album.
If you dig rock (then or now), please try to go to this concert. We need to prove to concert promoters and foreign rock bands (that we actually want to go here) that the Philippines can hold a concert like this and we’re also fanatical about great rock music.
It’s less than two months away and I’m excited. Thank you Splintr!
