So yesterday we put up a random photo up on our facebook page and asked everyone of you to come up with your best and most creative captions. We said we'd pick out one winner and hand over a pair of tickets. Last night we decided, out of the goodness of our hearts (and the sheer fun of going through your zingers) that we'd pick FIVE winners instead. So, ladies and gents, here are your winners to the FIRST manila music festival photo caption contest (we really like to keep things simple, around here) Matthew Militar - Spurt of the moment Ronie Von Varona - Go outside they said, it will be fun they said Krystal Roy - The only real fun you can have with guns Coleen Arroyo - Real men fight with water guns...(and wear floral board shorts).. Angelo Santamaria - I took this photo while I was waiting for my kettle to boil and a special MOST LIKED COMMENT AWARD goes to Ms. Kat Valdez - "Vanquish the battle to beat the heat!" who somehow managed to convince 194 people, in less than 24 hours, to like her entry! Props to you! one of our representatives will get in touch with you through facebook, on instructions on how to claim your tickets. oh and THIS:  So share that poster, get the word out! And yes, we are seriously doing this. Tell all your friends! RT! Post! Share! Everything! Let's all just make sure that the first ever Manila Music Festival is one party no one will ever forget.  Last week, we announced the Manila Music Festival Indie Rock Band Competition, where the victor gets to make Philippine music history by opening the first-ever Manila Music Festival. After screening all the entries that poured in, we now present to you the five acts that made it through to the finals! BETHANY Bands like Urbandub and Sheila and the Insects have established Cebu as a breeding ground for budding rock talent, and alt-rock group Bethany is poised to join their ranks. The four lads of Bethany (three of them are brothers) look to arena greats U2, Muse, and Coldplay for influence. From their gripping melodies, stadium-sized arrangements, and electric stage presence, you can tell that they’ve learned well. IVAN THEORY When you hear Ivan Theory’s jangly guitar jams, it’s hard to believe that the group actually used to be a power metal band! The four-piece takes elements of indie-pop, rock, blues, and jazz, and mixes them together to create an amiable sonic blend that serves perfectly well as lazy weekend listening. They’ve put out a five-song EP called Inspire, with some of its tracks enjoying airplay on local alternative radio stations. THE NAMELESS HEROES Alternative four-piece The Nameless Heroes broke into the gig circuit in 2007 while the members were still in their teens. Their youth didn’t stop them from drawing comparisons to the Arctic Monkeys, with their classic rock streaks, punk-rock cacophony, and the vocalist’s Alex Turner-recalling stylings. The band has enjoyed modest success: their single “Room 306” has aired on MTV Philippines, while “Do What You Wanna Do” has landed on local radio station charts. THE DISCOBALL Remember pop-punk pranksters Kiko Machine? After taking in a steady diet of Daft Punk, LCD Soundsystem, Radiohead, and Kylie Minogue, three of its members regrouped to form The Discoball. They’ve even coined the term “hypno-dance-rock” to describe their uncanny combo of electronica, disco, and punk. Count on The Discoball’s tight live performances to bring out the foot-tapping, head-bopping, shoulder-shimmying secret dancer in you. YOLANDA MOON Yolanda Moon is a pretty new band. How new? Let’s put it this way: they started a Facebook fan page just last month! Despite their relative inexperience, the group’s rich textures, silky arrangements, and introspective tone, which hearken back to 60s R&B and soul, have already made discerning music lovers sit up and take notice. Names like Ray Lamontagne and Mayer Hawthorne have been bandied around in discussions on Yolanda Moon, and rightly so. Vote for any of these five fantastic acts via the Manila Music Festival Facebook voting page from April 17-24. The band with the highest number of votes at the end of the voting period (April 24, 2012 22:00 local time) gets to be the first-ever festival opener! The winner will be announced on April 25, 2012.
