KINESTASIA Music Festival 2010, SINGAPORE
"It's in the books and it was as beautiful as I hoped it would be. Many thanks to the SG group, Ben, Syao, Dee, Nigel, and everyone else that took care of us there, you guys made us feel like we were home. The first night was tense, I was nervous out of my mind and I think it rubbed off on my band. The music was tight but there was no space for well...space, and although the first night was cool, the second night was what made everything all right. The second night is what did it for me. Right from soundcheck the mood was light and crazy, down to the gig itself, klaro samin lahat, we just wanted to have fun. It was beautiful. Thank you so much." - Carlos Castaño
