Filipino indie-rock band CHEATS to celebrate 10th anniversary with intimate show

Filipino indie-rock outfit CHEATS will be celebrating their 10th anniversary in the local music scene with a headline show happening on March 16, 2024, at Balcony Music House in Makati City.

The “Accidents” band will be performing a long set featuring fan favorites and rarities. Joining CHEATS are some of their long-time music peers, including SOS, Oh, Flamingo! and Sandwich.

“We wanted to do a show that has a 'party like it's the mid-2010s' vibe, which is the reason why we chose Sandwich, SOS, and Oh, Flamingo! to share the stage with us,” the eclectic 7-piece act explains in a press statement. “They were among the bands we loved (and still do) and played a lot with back when the band was just starting out. We’ll all play lengthy sets, and while we haven’t come up with a set list yet, we’ll likely play as many of our favorite songs as possible from the last 10 years.”

SZA releases 5-track audio bundle for “Saturn”

Top Dawg Entertainment/RCA Records’ 4x-time Grammy award-winning artist SZA, releases a 5-track audio bundle for “Saturn.”

The bundle includes the live version of “Saturn,” first heard during the 2024 GRAMMY Awards in a stunning performance from Mastercard’s GRAMMY House; plus the main, sped-up, a cappella and instrumental versions.  

The reception for SZA’s new single has been positive so far. Variety praised the track for its dreamy and hazy qualities, noting that it’s “SZA in classic SZA form, singing of the despair and helplessness plaguing the world at large and setting it against rich, enveloping production.” Billboard calls it an “enchanting” new single which finds “the superstar disappointed with the world around her and wonders if life would be better if she could start over on Saturn.”
