answering “why?”

Last Saturday I found myself dumbfounded with a question that I was asked about DeathToPuberty in our gig at AMOS Cafe: “Why did you name your band DeathToPuberty?”

This was the question that the host posed as me and the rest of the band prepared our instruments for our set. I wasn’t able to answer it though partly because I never really took the time to think about it, and now I think I can more or less give a response that I think is part of why I took a fancy at the name DeathToPuberty.

Sonic. Post-punk. Amos.

These are three words that somehow stuck in my head hours after our set at Amos Cafe for UNA Production‘s Plug it. Play it. gig last night. We hope we get more sets so we can get to experiment more with the audio direction that’s beginning to emerge ever since DeathToPuberty has started to play more often as a band rather than just me playing solo with an acoustic guitar. It is quite interesting also that we’re heading more towards the sound of post-punk and 90s indie rock which is a far cry from the emo meets punk rock sound of PayItForward. It was also great to have Simon to join us and to fill-in for Grace’s guitar duties and also great to have JP aboard again on drums, while Ten, is still in top shape on the bass guitar and was still able to play in spite of the intense stomach pains that she having last night. All in all it was a great gig and in behalf of the entire band I would like to thank Axis and Troy of UNA Productions,  for having us play again in their production and for tolerating us for the generous flood of sonic disruption that is our music.

Plug it. Play it.

DeathToPuberty | Love Letter

I didn’t realize that Sannee of Crapsalad Videos recorded this song, I only realized it when Darwin of Richard Collier posted this video on my Facebook wall. I remember first hearing this song more than 6 years ago. That was before DeathToPuberty and my band at the time was just recovering from a long hiatus, and somehow playing it last January 21 is a reaffirmation for me to continue playing and writing songs with or without a band.  Click here to watch more videos from other bands during the Reclaim the Night Richard Collier tribute gig.

There is always that cathartic feeling of urgency whenever you get yourself caught in the middle of a great set from a great band that you haven’t heard in years.
