The POP Shoppe! Music Series: A Call To Mind #1

August 7, 2010

Lilystars Records and partners NU107 and the Ayala Museum are proud  to present The POP Shoppe! Music Series: A Call To Mind. This music event series running from August to December 2010 is a monthly showcase of the freshest, the finest and the most significant indie pop music in Manila. First off in this series of five events is “IT STARTED WITH AN APRIL SHOWER” – the EP Launch of The Gentle Isolation.

The Gentle Isolation is an indie/twee pop quartet from Meycauayan, Bulacan, composed of Ness Urian (vocals/acoustic guitars), Joseph Rovero (electric guitars), Monch Cristobal (bass) and Bachie Rudica (drums). They started out as a New Wave cover band before reformatting in 2009, officially redirecting their music and finding their sound to become artists churning out their very own songs and leading them to an opportunity to partner with Lilystars for their releases.
