How I Became A Camerawall

Many of my friends were asking how and when did I join The Camerawalls. There's actually a very short story about it, so here I go...

Clementine, Law, and I were friends since 1999, that's when the Orange and Lemons days started. I was with another band back then, doing alternate gigs with them in a certain bar in Bulacan. After many years, we remained friends and kept in touch through chat and text messages. The last time I saw ONL was 2006, when Clem invited me to come over and watch their gig at 70's Bistro. Then I heard about the band's break-up a few months after.

2011 Highlights: Out of the Cocoon and Into the Sun

There was a lull in terms of recording and releasing new materials for The Camerawalls in 2011. It was a tough year, and with the ever-changing musical landscape and distribution, we felt it's better to postpone any plans. Bread and Circuses EP was more like a "chop suey" served during a lengthy cocoon stage of the band. As times changes so do we. The year that passed has tested our adaptability to changes.

This post has been lying on our WordPress draft section since Oct 7. Completely forgot about it. Last month was pretty tight with lots of gigs and activities. So here goes…

Our Final Set at The Substation

Right after chilling out for a bit at Timbre @ Old School we headed straight to The Substation for the usual soundcheck. A few minutes before our set a queue was forming outside. We played to what seemed like a full house bar for that evening. Many guests who came to see us the previous night were also present to witness our last gig in SG.

We were far more relaxed, like we’re in a familiar place. It felt like home.
