We are Shuffle Union!

Was it humid last Saturday night? we sure felt like that during our performance, as the people danced and closed in at The Leprechaun that evening. Steady flow of beer..check..small talk here and there..check..Meeting up with people you haven't seen in ages?..check..a gathering of friends..check!

It was an extra special performance for us that night, when long-time Shuffle Union trombone player, (and erstwhile retired?)Marlon, along with long-time honorary SU member, Melvin from Jeepney Joyride graced the 'stage'. Inducing more heat from the warm bodies who danced to Shuffle Union's set in the process. Salamat to everyone on the floor. It was a fun night to be with friends.

Some of SU's photos from that night:

INVINCIBLE hits Tambayanan

1962 Tambayanan resembled a place reminiscent of old, when the Philippine Ska scene was young and still on training wheels when the Invincible Tour landed on its wooden decks last Saturday night, if only for the healthy mix of scene regulars and fresh faces in attendance. But the performers that night have long been out of weaning. Sharing the evening with the audience were Pink Cow who were working double time from their Fete dela Musique stint the same night. Their great set was joined in by drummers right off the audience! Up next was Steadymovinbeat who has been steadily (non-pun# 1) improving, it seems, every time I see them live. What was that? "1!-2!".

Last to perform was Shuffle Union, featuring some of the tracks from our latest release, Invincible, mixed with our new songs not heard on any record yet. Salamat to the people who were not too shy to show they liked to Dance With Me (non-pun# 2). :))

A big big thanks to everyone who came, to the bands, to the audience, Trashradiomanila, and to the nice people of 1962. See you at the next stop of Shuffle Union's "Invincible-LIVE Album Tour" at JAVA Avenue,Grove, UPLB on July 2 (Thursday), 7PM.
