Urbandub – First Decade | Online Concert Review
May 18
This week, I finally got to watch the Urbandub online concert – the first of its kind here in the Philippines. Aptly titled First Decade, this is indeed a celebration for the band’s 10th year anniversary. Anyway, here’s what I think about the gig – and some screen shots too: Quite appropriately, their first song was taken from their debut album. After not hearing it for...
