(UPDATED) DEATH CAB FOR CUTIE LIVE IN MANILA!!!

So it's confeeermed that Death Cab For Cutie will be performing here in the Philippines on the 5th of March next year! It was verified via Rico Blanco's Twitter/Facebook account earlier today

I am so glad that the first quarter of 2012 is already packed with awesome concerts and I cant wait for this one more than anything (sorry Hanson). hehe Anyways, The venue for now is NBC Tent but this might change depending on the ticket sales, I guess, coz DCFC is pretty popular naman and a lot of kids know them. I just wish the organizer wont over price the ticket! I'll post some progress about the gig once the official information is out but at least we know that they are really performing here! Let's just pray that this will not be another case of tour cancellation just like The Killers a few years back.

I havent heard their recent albums so I hope they sing more of their earlier songs. Here's Transatlanticism, one of my favs from Death Cab For Cutie and I am going to cry if they sing this I SWEAR!

[UPDATE!] Here's the official poster of the event and also the ticketing info!

Hey BB, It's dark outside

MUST WATCH: Cat Power - King Rides By (feat Manny Pacquiao)

CAT POWER x MANNY PACQUIAO!! Now that's a total knock out! The People's Champ stars in the Giovanni Ribis-directed video for the new version of Cat Power new song King Rides By from her upcoming album out next year. Ang cool lang! All proceeds of the single sale will be donated to charities and I hope some of  it goes to the Typhoon Sendong victims in Mindanao, Philippines.
