Project 1 - Ang Sarap Dito

last week i was listening to the radio and heard this unfamiliar song echoing from the speakers of my car. i haven't been tuning on to the radio lately so i was intrigued when i heard this. I thought it was Sandwich because I recognized the voice of Raimnud Marasigan but I still wasn't sure because the music sounded different from the Sandwich we all know. The song ended and the DJ credited it to "Project1" which was entitled "Ang Sarap Dito".

Once I got my hands on the PC, I immediately searched for the song in the net. I googled "ang sarap dito project1 myspace"", hoping it would have been on myspace already but no luck. I pressed in the same keywords but this time without the word "myspace" but to no avail I only got links to articles about it. I clicked one and it directed me to ABANTE ONLINE (no kidding). I read that the DJs of various radio stations have no information about the song or artist and it was a mystery waiting to be solved. All they can share is that people are getting more and more intrigued about this issue and so am I.

So today, I was randomly browsing through videos when I found that they have released their video for the song. So here it is. Enjoi!

CHICOSCI: SNY LVN

To those who saw Superbad, NO this is not about Sonny (Mc)Lovin'. YES, this is about Sonny. I believe that this is old news to all the blood seekers out there but I just recently found out that Sonny Baquisal has left the band due to family reasons. This unfortunate situation has been out in the public since October 31, 2007 as dated in their multiply site. The following lines is the post from the other axeman.

"Dear Kids,

We are still reeling from the depression that is known as S.N.Y.L.V.N.(Sny's leaving). He has been our brother for the past 8 years, and we've been partners in crime in guitar and six-string antics ever since. We have still not come to grips with the fact that we've lost another member to the first world.(haha. i keed). But then again, life must go on. Let us all wish THE one and only SONNY BAQUISAL all the luck in the world. Tiniis niya ng 8 years ang layo ng family niya to be with his vampire brothers. And now even his wife is there, and collectively, we think it's just the right time for him to reunite with his loved ones in a very lovely place called ITALY. He has shared with all of us 1 million percent of his blood sweat and tears, and he deserves a proper goodbye. The song last look is now dedicated to him, and shall be announced on NU. We miss him already.

just answer with your eyes,
mong alcaraz

p.s.
on a happier note, let's all welcome ariel to the vampire social club. *apir* unang hirit ang debut gig niya yesterday morning. expect both members(sny and ariel) to share guitar duties on our next video. thank you everyone for the support. ....ok toodles!"
