The Theory of Relativity: STARS Live in Manila


Three months later, here I am blogging about the Stars concert last February. Forgive me, I've been lacking inspiration these past weeks. More overdue posts to come! Hah


Anyways, the Stars concert last February 16, 2013 was a whirlwind of emotions! Love, nostalgia, admiration, passion all in one. I was lucky enough to experience such a wonderful show by one of the great indie acts of our time. It was an intimate event (just the way I like it) with people attending for the music...and only for the music.

Indie music scene regulars, Outerhope and Ciudad setting the mood right.

Their new album "The North" is amazing! Synth-heavy and romantic in all the right places. Just how I imagined it.


One of the best feelings in the world is to listen to your favorite bands live while you savor the moment eyes closed. No problems, no toxic energy. Just you, the music...and vigorous amount of feels.
