“OPM is not Dead it’s just evolving” Sponge Cola Returns with “SEA OF LIGHT” Concert

After many years, Sponge Cola returns and produces their own concert “Sea of Light” on March 29 at Power Mac Spotlight Circuit Makati at 7pm.

Why “Sea of Light”?

Yael Yuson, the vocalist of Sponge Cola: “There is this thing we do with lights when we perform and then there is “Rakista Radio” who called it “sea of lights” kami we just do it and kami parang.. we might as well use it because kasi people I guess making it a band associated thing when we do live. In this concert I guess we will do a more control environment with lights.

Challenges:

1. Only few knows that the band have been studying from a school, they shared that school and music is not easy to balance but they conquered it.! They all graduated. They wanted to tell to all that education is very important and its should be valued always specially the young generations.
2. Fatigues of having straight gigs, sometimes 2-3 gigs a day. Sometime 1 gig in Luzon then 1 in Mindanao, then the next day Luzon again, which up to now they still experiencing. The challenge is how to be physically and psychologically fit to bring their best to every show. There are a lot of idle time, where they discover playing mobile game. This is something that they can do together most of the time. This brings out a lot of stress and pressure from them at the same time build their band stronger as a team (Not a band related activity but very effective). I heard them saying na “Epic” na sila. So guys if you want to play with sponge cola play the game which “Epic Rank”.

Guitarist, Erwin “Armo” Armovit, shared that even they are strong different people what makes them strong together is the respect to each other’s passion and quirks. They all manage to come together for music and for the love of music, for a love of playing together. They also encourage each other whenever they have different endeavors, interests to pursue. Walang harangan sa sponge cola.

Going back to the concert, the concert will not only feature new songs from their latest album but will celebrate their greatest hits.! Expect also some sea of lights related performance, a surprise performance and collaboration with Gloc-9, which almost revealed. Performance of Leanne, and Naara, I belong to the zoo and Karylle will add up to this exciting concert.! Directed by Paolo Valenciano.
