Of Selfies and Rakrakan Festival 2014

I have appreciated the value of a VIP pass in my recent music escapade at the very successful Rakrakan Festival last December 20th at The Circuit Events Ground, Makati. Not only were we safe from the unexpected drizzles in the open grounds but we get to meet some of these awesome OPM musicians backstage. I had the best time at Bazooka Rocks but this event was made even more special because of the full OPM band lineup. Got to love our very own first, as nationalistic as that may sound. 

70 bands on 3 stages (Mosh, Move and Groove)? Your choice. To be able to experience this for the first time with my concert buddies/junkies Caren and Joyvie has made it even more fun.

From the rocking performances of Urbandub (the best set because I am biased that way.), Jejaview, Kjwan, Wilabaliw, Slapshock and Chicosci to the high school/college nostalgia brought by the set of Callalily, Hilera, Mayonnaise, Rocksteddy and Valley of Chrome/Giniling Festival, the girl power pop rock punk vibe by Save Me Hollywood, Drive Me To Juliet, Moonstar 88, Imago, Gracenote and the forever young and talented Barbie Almalbis and other rock/alternative bands far to many to be mentioned, one cannot ask for more.

It was a memorable musical experience and even though we had to leave for home before Ely Buendia's set, it's already been a rocking night!

Looking forward to more rocking festivals to attend this year! Long live OPM!
