Downtime, online and getting back in the groove

I’ve been getting orders for the new APO album from a lot of overseas
readers. Some orders coming from the US I have passed on and are now
being handled by our LA distributors. You can email them at
Kewlitco@gmail.com if you are interested.

Orders from Aus, New Zealand, and even some people in the US who
want it personally signed by the three of us are handled by yours
truly. I will be getting the orders sent out and done by the first week
of December. My daughter will be bringing them to Aus and it shall be
mailed from there or picked up from our house in Glenwood, NSW.

Yes, we are online. Some of our old stuff can be found in
Itunes but the new album is available through pinoytunes.net.

We are proud of this. It’s an Indie (independent) album. We turned
down big labels who were interested because we wanted to record what we
wanted to record, period. No to trying to sound ‘radio-friendly’ and
all of that commercial crap. We wanted our music to represent us.
Believe it or not, we are selling really well despite the fact that we
are not in stores. Most people buy their copies during our concerts or
they go to the APO office at 129 Esteban Abada, Loyla Heights, QC to
get it there. Get your orders in bulk so it’s worth the trip. You can
call to reserve at 4275301/4265375.

Some songs in the album are re-recordings of old songs but done in
an entirely different way now. The years have given us fresh insights
into the songs, thus the arrangements and a lot of the delivery have
changed. These are the current ‘live’ versions of the songs now but
recorded in the studio. There are about three to four songs that may be
entirely new to many of you because we only do them live.The have also
never been recorded previously.

Enjoy!

Am back in Manila to do a few shows before Christmas. My recent Sydney
stay was definitely ‘downtime’ for me. All I did was sleep, eat, do
housework and a little writing and photography. . I only went out a few
times and only once to the city. I just needed to catch my breath after
APO’s big Araneta show and its attending preparations, promo and
rehearsals, a photo exhibit at Megamall, and a short US tour.

It was good to live simply and quitely.

I am writing this from my bed in my room. It is raining outside. My
concerts begin tomorrow and it becomes hectic again. I will be visitinf
Davao, Cagayan de Oro and Iligan for some concerts too. In between, I
hope to do some photography, see old classmates who are coming home for
the alumni homecoming, have dinners, discussions with some people whose
company I enjoy, do some writing and just have fun.
