Hastang of Yesteryears

Where to begin?
Erstwhile vocalist Ria Redulla told us a few months back that she could not do the vocal duties for Hastang long-term. While we do respect her decision and wish her the best, it was certainly a day of uncertainty for the remaining band members. We could barely keep our hopes up during […]

So many things have happened. So much has been said and done. The love affair turned out to be but a brief fling. We grieved once more, but only fleetingly. We decided to lie low for the time being. But we will be back. That’s a promise we don’t intend to break. See you next […]

There’s a story behind all these. There’s a story behind our month-long silence. We know that somehow, the people close to us have correctly guessed that something was brewing. But we kept our silence. None of that is important now. What’s important is that we’ve found her. The voice. The energy. The passion. Ria Redulla.

We are happy to announce yet a new leg in Hastang’s often unpredictable journey. Tessa Manto, who has graciously lent us her voice for 3 years, is no longer a part of Hastang.

Hastang is the featured band in tomorrow’s (Mar 15 ‘08) episode of Jack TV’s Boom Box! In other news, a photo shoot with Charles Buenconsejo is in the offing, Random is in Itzamatch’s track list, and Manny is set to win another big one this Sunday. Go, Manny!

Guile chronicles the events that transpired in Manila over the Valentine’s weekend. While his post is very detailed, there’s an untold story behind every scene: the shameless flirtation between the bass player and his lady love. Tsk. Overall, Hastang’s Manila trip was a huge success. And we can’t wait to go back for more […]

He was introduced as “DonDon of Hastang” in the recently concluded Cebu Guitar Fest. But to us, he is simply Gaw (i.e., “Ang siGAW ng Hastang”). — A quiet, subdued guitar genius who doesn’t know just how talented he is. Gaw, we’ve said this often, and we won’t tire of saying this for as long […]

Our sincerest thanks to Mario and Kai for inviting us to their awesome Rockstar party last Sunday, October 28, 2007 in the Outpost. Thank you for the fun, and we apologize for whatever hassle you had to go through. We had no idea that there was some sort of tension in the background, and we […]
