In celebration of the release of “Telepono,” ONE CLICK STRAIGHT is heading right into a mini-tour across Manila to promote their new single.
The beloved alternative rock band shared the announcement that they are set to host two shows at famed gig venues Jess & Pat’s and 123 Block later this month, with each show hosting its own unique lineup of guest performances.
The Jess & Pat’s show this February 20 (Thursday) is set to feature Clara Benin and Toneejay for an intimate and acoustic showcase that begins at 5 PM, while the 123 Block showcase is set to host Ena Mori, Munimuni, Geiko, and Kenaniah on February 22 (Saturday), also beginning at 5 PM. Both shows have a uniform price point of Php 500 per ticket, though registered attendees can follow a ‘pay what you can’ feature strictly from 5 PM to 6 PM only.
On the newly released track, the beloved alternative-rock group embraces a new set of soundscapes that honor the post-punk movement, which perfectly fits as an evolution of what they’ve accomplished on their discography. Self-produced and written by the band, “Telepono” is an excellent example of their growth as a band, highlighting how the Marquez brothers and Joel Cartera have continued to find new avenues for their dynamic together can flourish — both on the sonic and lyrical front.
Prior to the track’s release, ONE CLICK STRAIGHT dropped the single “SIGA” last August, which came with a colorful music video directed by raliug of Lunchbox Creates. In 2023, the band also dropped their eponymous sophomore album, which spawned the hit single “MRT” and was selected as one of Billboard Philippines’ picks for the Best Albums of 2023.
