Bruno Mars Throws a Grenade in Cebu and Manila

With the release of Bruno Mars' new track Grenade, he throws another mind-blowing news for us Filipinos. This  artist of Puerto Rican and Filipino descent is set to blast 2 Philippine stages on the following dates:

• April 7, 2011     Waterfront Cebu City Hotel and Casino
• April 8, 2011     SM Mall of Asia Concert Grounds

Bruno Mars, born Peter Gene Hernandez, is nominated for seven Grammys at the 53rd Grammy Awards slated on February 13, 2011. This self-admitted Elvis Presley fan explains that he got his stage name Bruno from the nick name his father called him since he was a chubby little child who looked like a famous chubby wrestler with the same name. He continues that "I felt like I didn't have no pizzazz and a lot of girls say I'm out of this world so I was like 'I guess I'm from Mars'."

I'll post the ticket prices and other developments as soon as they're out. For the meantime, let's listen to his hit song Just the Way You Are.

Gin Blossoms Live in Cebu

Here's a band that I and my generation can relate to. Talk of 90s music and Gin Blossoms is sure to come up in the list of top bands. Who can't say that songs such as As Long As It Matters, 'Til I Hear It From You, and Hey Jealousy weren't part of their growing up years.

This concert is already confirmed and will happen on November 20, 2010 at the concert destination in town --- Waterfront Cebu City Hotel and Casino. The event starts at 8PM. Tickets are sold at Php 2500, 2000, 1350, 1000, and 600. You may call (032) 232 6888 and have yourself connected to the ticketing office.

This is a concert people of my YOUNG age wouldn't want to miss. ;O)  See you guys!

Here's a little something from Gin Blossoms. A trip down memory lane...
