Balloons, a pinata, crowd-surfing and not least of all a formidable line-up of high energy bands came together at\u00a0Manila<\/a> the last weekend of July, where the space got so packed with\u00a0sweaty revelers<\/a> it was really tough negotiating my way around the front of the stage.<\/p>\n

Not even a power black-out during Grassy Spark<\/a>‘s set (which resulted in me substituting\u00a0my camera for\u00a0my phone\/torch to provide some stage light for the second half of their set) could put a damper on the crowd’s spirits – if anything they took it as a challenge and resolved to party extra hard, both in the dark and once the lights came back.<\/p>\n
