#scouting gigs

Lock, loaded and ready to roll, the Jack On Stage Scouting Gigs have begun! After kicking off at its private event last Friday October 18 at Publiko Gastropub in Eastwood City Libis, Jack Daniel’s brings to the forefront the first phase of its new music program—The Jack Daniel’s  “Jack On Stage”.

In the new campaign, Jack Daniel’s handpicks and teams up with 6 of the most active independent music groups in the local independent music scene today. In the program, these are five independent gig production outfits and one independent record label namely Revolver Productions, Red Ninja Productions, Hello Strange, Attraction! Reaction!, Strike Back Attack and Blaster Records - all are part of the grassroot communities in the Philippine independent music.

These local communities contribute a lot in keeping the local artists and their music alive and whom Jack Daniel’s has chosen to be its eyes and ears in the independent music scene for the Jack On Stage music program. From their effective promotional skills, high number of followers and gig attendees, and most importantly— their reliable recommendation of 7 independent bands who are on-the-brink of making it big at their respective musical careers.

On October 25, 2013 in Saguijo Makati, Jack On Stage embarks on its first phase in the program that is the Scouting Gigs Tour. With the first leg hosted by Revolver Productions, headed by its captain Cris Ramos, Revolver is an offshoot of the weekly music reviews column in the Life & Times section of the Saturday edition of the Manila Times newspaper,  which in turn was named after one of The Beatles’ best albums. Inspired by notable electronic music icon Moby and his music festival Area One, and local music productions such as Admit One and Play4serve, Revolver aims to bring an eclectic and dynamic line up of performers under one roof every month.

Performing in the 1st Scouting Gig are Revolver’s highly recommended independent bands:  husband and wife rock electronica duo Turbo Goth, young and soulful solo artist Earl, indie electropop twosome Moonwlk, fierce female fronted and funk souled Soulpage, pop soft metal core Mad Hatter Day, pop rock slowcore December Avenue, and indie fuzz rock Identikit.

 Jack On Stage incorporates to the program one of Jack Daniel’s special segment that is Friends of Jack. For every Scouting Gig tour, everyone is encouraged to sign up to be a “friend of Jack” for exclusive premium items courtesy of Jack Daniel’s. [Log on to Vandals On The Wall (the official Online Cohost of Revolver Productions for the 1st Scouting Gig) to find out how you can be a Friend of Jack.]

Make yourselves present and show your fervent support for the passion-fueled independent spirit this Friday, October 25 9pm at Saguijo in Guijo St Makati City. As Revolver Productions and JD On Stage puts up a rocking show in a signature Jack Daniel’s fashion like you’ve never experienced before. So we dare to ask… ARE YOU ‘IN’?
