Known for their unique dance-punk music, well-respected band in the indie music scene Pedicab successfully launched their 2005 debut album “Tugish Takish” Limited Edition Pink Vinyl last August 18, 2023 at Good Vibrations Records in Cubao Expo, Quezon City. The launch started with Good Vibrations DJs set while the band signs fans’ vinyl records followed by Jetcoaster’s and Taken by Cars’ performance. Of course, the most awaited part of the night, Pedicab’s performance, was pure fun! Diego Castillo (also of Sandwich) closed the night with his funky DJ set.
Originally released in 2005, Tugish Takish introduced Pinoy rock listeners to what the band coined as “dance punk,” influenced by their late ‘70s/early-‘80s postpunk favorites, but updated for the ‘00s with modern beats and smart, quirky lyrics. The album includes songs such as “Dizzy Boy”, “Dito Tayo Sa Dilim”, “Konti Na Lang” and “Bleached Streaks”. Recorded in three days, the album captured Pedicab’s raw and urgent early sound, and is now a cult classic among local music aficionados.
Produced by Pedicab with Buddy Zabala, remastered for vinyl by Shinji Tanaka and pressed on baby pink vinyl with original album art by Inksurge, this Pedicab’s limited edition pink vinyl is already sold out in less than a week after their pre-order announcement.
Pedicab’s “Tugish Takish” Vinyl launch is brought to you by Zeppow & Body Clock Records, Soupstar Music, in cooperation with Vicor Music. Sponsors include Powermac, Landers and Good Vibrations.
