Amethyst is back in business!

After months and months of struggling for gigs and finding an appropriate guitarist... we have finally found both! bit by bit we are getting up on our feet again, for the 2nd time! i almost thought that the band will be disbanded due to lack of practices and gigs. but now, we have a GIG! yahoo! thanks to a good friend of mine, ryan marifosque! he got us a slot in their production event and we will be performing together with other bands @ mayric's, jan 15,05'(saturday)! show starts 930pm. Pls do come, there will be tickets sold though, P100 each with 1 free beer! Good news is, this not a one-time big-time production because they hold events @ mayric's every other week of the month. Meaning we get a chance to be included in these succeeding events! yahoo! exposure! however, the bad side of it is the ticket selling! per event every band is required to sell 5-8 tickets depending on the price, if they dont get to sell it, the band will shoulder it. if they surpass the quota, the extra money will go to the band. thats how these production things work. so its really hard to be heard and noticed man... tsk tsk. in our case its ok, were 6 members! we have more cash compared to those 3-piece punk bands! haha!

aside from catching a gig, we also had other developments:

1. we have a soundclick account!
- check out www.soundclick.com/amethystamethyst and listen to some of our rough acoustic recordings. thanx to our former lead guitarist and soon to be sound engineer Jan Javier, we were able to do acoustic renditions of our songs. The following songs are available for download at soundclick:
a. Astray
b. Farewell
c. Nawawala
Astig to mehn, lalo na yung Astray, hahah! find out for yourself!

2. We have an email account! but its not a yahoogroup --> amethyst_combo_combohan@yahoo.com

3. We are friendsters na rin! Like oh my gosh!!!! hahaha, add us up, just use the yahoo account!
