Here's an article by Joelle Jacinto of Pulse.ph on Narda and NARDAmageddon: 04.09.2007:
NARDA'S LAST FLIGHT
WELL-LOVED ROCK BAND NARDA HAS FOUGHT THE GOOD FIGHT FOR OVER FOUR
YEARS. THEY'VE GIVEN US AMAZING PERFORMANCES AND MANY WONDERFUL SONGS.
WE'RE GOING TO MISS THEM
It
seemed like they were enjoying the successes they’d achieved so far and
were ready for more successes in the future, and, as Ryan said, he
already had new material for the next album. Shortly after, Narda
announced: they were going to disband. Their last gig would be on April
12, a gig they cheekily entitled NARDAmaggedon. Estagle had quit the
band, which meant they’d have to take the trouble of finding/teaching a
replacement amid busy skeds and other projects. Katwo’s and Ryan’s
separate web posts on the upcoming break-up recall how hard it was to
take off in Narda’s early days, what with all the lineup changes and
other setbacks, and maybe, with yet another lineup change, it was time
to lay Narda to rest. Continue reading "Narda's Last Flight" >> If you read the article at Pulse.ph, you'd be able to see something that looks like this:
| Title | Artist | Type | | 100 Taon | Narda | Truetone |

| golden boy | Narda | Monotone |

NARDAmageddon: Ang Huling Lipad ng Narda One of our favorite bands is callling it a day. That sucks. But they're going out with a bang at SaGuijo this Thursday, April 12, 2007 at 9:30 PM! Featuring Boy Elroy, The Dorques, Ishi, Switch, and of course -- for the last time -- Narda.
Join them as they launch their music video "Gasolina," and play songs
old and new, while you wail uncontrollably and break bottles of beer
over your head in sheer deranged grief at the loss to our music scene.
We'll be there with tissue paper and bandages.

Posted by narda on Apr 9, '07 5:38 AM for everyone This was written by Rain Contreras in his blog at raincontreras.com:
Having just read the magazine articles on Narda’s official Multiply site, I decided to turn on to the older songs this Sunday morning at work from the band whose demise will be realized on April 12. That move proved to be apt for the moment, since as much as I consider their latest record, Discotillion, to be the group’s best effort, the old EP’s still spew delightful pop songs to bob your head to.
A re-invention must be the word the press wants to impress
on the readers for Narda’s current mold. I won’t go into that anymore,
since the articles (here and here) have expounded on it already; what struck me most were comparisons to their old sound to The Cardigans and The Sundays.
I am impressed by older albums by the former, but Harriet Wheeler’s
band (the latter) has, easily, nailed itself firmly on my perpetual
favorite bands list. That said, having owned all of Narda’s early EP’s,
I haven’t drawn a line connecting the Narda dot to any other known
band, moreso their local contemporaries.
Let me start properly now: my curiosity for Narda stemmed from random Livejournal blog entries proclaiming how hawt
the lead singer of this Ateneo-based band was, and that their records
are available at Sarabia Optical, at the UP Shopping Center. One
fateful afternoon at my old alma mater, lead to an evening on my
computer when I dived unconsciously into unheard-of fanboy-ism.
Raw and pleasant were the acoustic songs from the Burador
EP (2003), though that was my least played record from their
discography. Not necessarily their weakest, since the ditties do meet
happy campfire standards, with the sweet lovers’ song ‘Ang Gabi‘ leading the pack; but it was obvious that the Narda voice needs a lift to somewhere else, where she can be mighty.
Salaguinto’t Salagubang (September 2003) was an
unabashed pinoy indie-rock record. I’ll hold this one as a good band
primer, and the unfinished collection before the band’s first
full-length album, Formika. Standouts were the rock radio hit ‘Jaywalker‘, and ‘Saan Na?‘. Easily catch the shoegazing, and low-fi influences here.
For my otherwise fickle palette, however, the A Postcard From (October 2002) and Suwerte (December 2002) EPs are the undeniable keepers, Narda’s first and second, respectively. ‘Suwerte‘ and ‘Tanga‘ from the Suwerte EP, and ‘Crime-Fighting Mama‘ and ‘Kusina‘
from the A Postcard From Narda EP, are must-listens to any serious fan
of the band, as they should easily find their places to the list of the
most wonderful pop gems to come out from the local post-90s indie music
scene.
I’ve said this before,
but I’d like to point it out again: Narda has transcended the practiced
indie-pop standards that dominated the band scene around their EP and
Formika days, when name-dropping X foreign band (Club 8? a forgotten
New Wave band? a bossa-nova + electronic group from the once-formidable
Siesta label?) was needed to claim prestige.
In sum, in true-fan fashion, I therefore conclude this post that a
sound re-discovery should be in order, for this band that I’ve
surprisingly grown to adore, and actually bother to write about and
document through photos. Come on, its not time to sulk in a corner and
lament on this; do that during their last gig, when its forgivable.
So, there it is. We hope to see you all this thursday at: NARDAMAGEDDON: ang huling lipad ng narda april 12 2007, thursday cafe saguijo 9:30PM guest performances by: BOY ELROY THE DORQUES ISHI SWITCH and of course.. NARDA We're playing songs, old and new, from the EPs, Formika and Discotillion. Narda merchandise will be on sale (everything must go). The "Gasolina" music video will be launched as a token to everyone who supported Narda's music and passion. We hope to see you on our last flight.
