seeing juan pablo....dream

ten02 bar, timog
unreserved on a tuesday night, glad i got the daily sms gig invite from reggae/ska band coffee break island. an invite at 9pm at the ten02 bar in timog. the bar is owned by old friends myra (of put3ska) & marben (bad burn; former workmate at tower records makati). as usual, i called alex to join me (who's friends w/ the couple too) & so we went.
the bar was surprisingly full on a weekday. i later learned from marben that it was because manila's only mod/soul stylists band juan pablo dream has gained impeccable popularity at the ten02 bar where they play at every tuesdays. they even got the most audience than the band who invited me over haha! marben did add that coffee break island is just a freshman at their bar so they are yet to capture the hearts of the bars' frequent guests (or drag all of their listeners there).
juan pablo dream's fine music instantly engorged me. i couldn't sit still. i had to stand up & shake my booty hahahaha! heck, not a single soul was steady, everybody was dancing! after that gig, i made a promise to myself to see 'em every tuesdays, ofcourse only when the day's my off or after work.
after juan pablo dream, there was coffee break island.
