THE WORLD SHALL END as GOD DIES ON THE 17th when TOM ESTRELLA AND THE SHADOWS REUNITE!!!!!

"...rollins ain't got nothin' on us hahaha."
-Karl R. De Mesa,

WE CORDIALLY INVITE YOU ALL TO A NIGHT OF DESTRUCTION AS TOM ESTRELLA SR. AND THE SHADOWS REUNITE....

THE PERFORMANCE WILL BE HELD IN ONE OF THOSE MOTHERFUCKING SHITHOLES CALLED....

BRI-IW BAR (KAMUNING CORNER  J.JIMENEZ QC)

THE TEATS will perform at around 11 PM and after that the world ends......

TOM ESTRELLA AND THE SHADOWS are a NOISECORE/AVANTGARDE PUNK, SPOKEN WORD and PERFORMANCE POETRY COLLECTIVE that play IMPROVISATIONAL NOISE MIXED WITH GIBBERISH AND SCREAMED AND SHOUTED VOCALS...

 ALL of their songs and music are written on the spot.  The lyrics are irrelevant and the vocals are just used to enhance the uncomfortable aura of the confrontational and evil music that the band plays.

Like Sigur Ros and Mogwai, j.luna and the rest of the band have decided to do away with comprehensible lyrics because,

"Lyrics are like a comfort zone to people, it gives them an easy way to understand the song better.... But we don't want to spoonfeed anyone, we want them all to fucking think. Let them interpret what we are doing by themselves"

TEATS unlike other fucked-up bands in the country don't have a permanent line-up and following the Situational Ethics they abide to, even the line-up is composed of people they meet along the way or people who are available during the gigs.

AS of MARCH '09 the members of the band might and might not be:

j.luna on Vocals and Didgeridoo (Spoken word poet and perfromance artist who used to perform with The Brockas)

Norman Wilwayco on Bass (3 Time Palanca Award Winning Novelist, And A Fellow of the 48th UP Writer's Workshop...Bassist For the Brockas)

Lem Galleto of The lowtechs on Guitars and Drums

Karl R. De Mesa on Guitars (journalist, TV documentary producer and creative consultant based in Manila, The Philippines. He is the author of Damaged People, Tales of the Gothic-Punk (UP Press). He plays guitar for the atmospheric, post-rock band Biscochong Halimaw. )

Jaime Diga of Jesusmafia on Guitars

Maricor Reyes on Percs (Violinist for the Indie band MATILDA)

Those who have drummed......

Khavn Dela Cruz (Palanca Award Winning Poet and Writer....Internationally Acclaimed Film maker)

Lem Galleto of The lowtechs

Arvie Bartolome (The Brockas)

Jeff Solomon

THE MUTHERFUCKIN' WORLD WILL END ON THE 17th AS THE BASTARD SONS OF ROCK AND ROLL WREAK HAVOC .....AGAIN!!!!
