Modular Display Inc in Magayon Festival 2012

Monday, April 30th, 2012

13 hours drive from Manila to Legaspi Albay City to witness the Magayon Festival, especially the “Mutya ng Magayon 2012”. It was exhausting but we were very excited since we know that The Mutya show is the main event of the month. I have seen the preparation for this event and it was no joke. They needed to rehearse everything from the contestants blocking, the performers, the light and sound the video etc. It was like preparing for the The Miss Universe show and the pressure was all there. The Mutya show was held at the Albay Astrodome which accomodates nearly 5,000 seats and throw in another thousand for those who are standing, another thousand were not able to watch the show since it was already above the capacity.

We at Modular Display Pro: Light and Sound and Audio Evolution (an Albay local supplier) prepared for this event. For the event, we brought in our old and reliable 8 units ODY-PRO line array, 4 units ODY PRO L8 dual 18 subs, a dozen QHA power amps, ODY PRO monitor, Bardl BR 103 wireless mics, a PreSonus StudioLive 24.4.2 digital mixer, a BDS dual DVD play back system, 8 x 13 LED wall, 32 units PAR 64, 24 units Matrix LED wash, 10 units Weinas Beam 200 and a Weinas RGB laser light.

The sound was loud, clear and an earth shaker and the audience was WOWed by the lightings. The lights definitely complemented the beauty contestants. Light and sound definitely gave justice to “Mutya ng Magayon 2012”. We hope to return next year for another spectacular show.

A night of raw and unadulterated Punk Energy Powered with Kustom Amplifier

Monday, April 30th, 2012

That and more to describe the evening dubbed as “It’s not too late” an event held at Amos Café last April 21, 2012 hosted by the Band Republika de Lata. This is the launch of their latest music video of the same title.  The event was sponsored by Nadela Customs, Jam88.3, Amos Café, and Kustom Amplifiers Philippines.

The show was powered by Kustom Amplifiers using a DE300 4×10 Bass Amp, HV100T, and a Defender V50 showcasing its power and gritty character perfect for raw and aggressive guitar sounds. Opening the show is our very own Product Specialist Bone Pagligaran to warm up the amps plugging directly to the Defender V50 rocking away with his signature flamboyant bluesy guitars riffs that supports his vocals as he goes on to through his set singing his original tunes from his solo album entitled Spirit of Radio. Next to take the stage was a band called “Triplehorns” now the punk energy begins with this three piece band featuring a female drummer that looks like your typical petit early 20’s girl but never lacks in power. You can tell by their performance that they were enjoying the evening and being blown away by the sound emanating from the Kustom Amps. Next is a band called “Along The Way” also a three piece setup that resembles a Hardcore Punk vibe.  Just like the Triplehorns they also could not help but acknowledge power of Kustom Ampifiers.

Other bands include “Tustado”, another  punk outfit “Makuri Makuro” which is a Ska-Punk-Reggae featuring familiar faces from other notable Reggae and Ska Bands. But rounding up the evening is the main event the band that call themselves the “Republika De Lata” mostly veteran musician form the Punk and Alternative scene two of the members were part of a famous 90’s band called “Agaw Agimat” Renmin and Teta teamed with their abrasive guitarist Kahil and Wendy the vocalist whose surname resemble local punk scene royalty. These guys are the real deal when it comes to old school punk it is their generation it is their lifestyle they conform to nothing but the idea that Kustom Amplifiers really Rocks on a very punk way. I managed to capture some video that would better describe this punk experience powered by Kustom Amps. All I could say is OI!
