Hey loves, listen~

Most of you probably already heard about Tara Santelices (especially those who are a part of the underground scene), the guitarist of  Saffron Speedway, the girl who was robbed, shot to head, went on a comma for several months and finally died, recently.

It will be held at Meralco Theater, Ortigas Center, Pasig City on October 4, 2009 (Sunday) 7:00 PM.
