Selda-Dos

I'm a fan of live music, alternative stuff like metal, goth and much more. I'd like to share a venue and band with you. I've spent several good nights there seeing the band live along with other groups. Read on if you want to know more...

In their own words: A one-stop music hub offering a lifetime imprisonment of music!

Selda-Dos

Selda-Dos is a pub/bar/live music venue in Quezon City, Metro Manila area, run by Selena Moon. It's a new venue with varied music nights where music like rock, acoustic and metal is played to a live audience. An example is the Acoustic Indie night held on a Tuesday. Open mic events are also held. Many local and international bands gig there to a packed audience. Sound and light systems are excellent, giving the audience clear music. When live music isn't on, a PA system plays a variety of metal and rock music.

A unique prison type theme resounds through Selda-Dos. This includes cells, complete with bunk/table/chairs for 'inmates' eating their 'last meal', served by orange jump suited staff, before facing the 'electric chair' and a 'height chart' for 'suspects' to be photographed against. A simple but strangely very effective theme for a venue. If you've ever served time or done bird, be warned. The setting is both real and authentic. Of course, entertainment and a fun filled evening is a must. You may leave your mark by marker penning your name on the cell wall. With permission of course. A security guard gives discreet but effective security.

Drinks

Being a bar, Selda-Dos serves a wide range of drinks and food. For example, single bottles of San Mig, Pale Pilsen, Red Horse or Super Dry beer are on sale or buckets. A beer tower is P300. Spirits like vodka cost P50 a shot. Bottles of cola are on sale for non-drinkers. Happy Hour is 7-10PM Monday-Sunday. On some promo nights a free drink is included in the entrance cost. One example is for a Penalty (cost) P75 entry/drink at the Alternative Rock and Blues Behind Bars night. Some shots are on offer too. All prices, including food, are great value.

Food

Meals include starters to main courses and desserts. The menu is long and varied with for example Oxo Gang Pasta with names like Tuyo Will Die. The Murdered Burger is aptly named. Other food is called Robbery, Fraud and Arson. Sausages are of note with Prison Angel Sausage being one example. All the staff are highly trained, professional and courteous. Food is served quickly and arrives hot.

Ode To LaLuna (OTLL)

One band that plays Selda-Dos is Ode To LaLuna (OTLL). Five members make up this band. Members are: Yue - Drums, Iah - Guitars, Sin - Bass, Selene - Keyboards and Ishtar - Vocals. People need to know what a band sounds like and music wise they are Goth/Dark/Symphonic Metal/Heavy Metal. But those are labels. Talking of labels, OTLL are on Inner Circle Production record label. Make up your own minds and enjoy their songs, as I do. OTLL is an excellent band of talented members. They can be booked for gigs, functions, weddings (they gigged my wedding) and more.

Music includes their own songs off an album, Moonbreak, or their new forthcoming release which is out soon. The greatly moon inspires the band and their music. Various cover versions are in their repertoire including Lacuna Coil through Metallica and Paramore much more.
