If you aren’t already 200% pumped up about game 2 of the UAAP finals later, here’s some news that will probably push you off the edge—The Ransom Collective is playing a surprise set before the game!!
Well, it probably isn’t much of a surprise at this point. Band bassist Leah Halili hinted at the upcoming performance last night with a video of the band rehearsing, and the caption “so something exciting is happening tomorrow.” The video clued us in on a performance in Araneta the following day, and we all already know what’s about to go down: the second finals face-off between beloved underdogs the UP Fighting Maroons and reigning champs the Ateneo Blue Eagles.

In case we had any trust issues following our collective disappointment at the false rumour of Eraserheads playing at the game, Halili confirmed the gig in a tweet earlier today. Brb, going *airplane emoji* to Cubao.
For those of you watching the UAAP FINALS Game 2 later, my band and I will be having a surprise number before the game at 230 in Araneta! Come early!!!

Besides screaming our heads off for our teams, we’ll be shouting along to Ransom Collective’s songs, so I guess it’s goodbye to our vocal chords for today. It’ll definitely be worth it, though.
