NEWS   September 8, 2004- TWP is still trying to book another recording session with KJWAN & Kapatid drummer J-Hoon Balbuena, after the success of Hoon's Joint we're looking forward to the next brilliant collaboration.

Sach Castillo of Sound is back in the drawing board, fine-tuning the words and melody of his 2nd track to be included in the album as well.

There's one fresh track hot off the oven, dedicated to 2 good friends that passed away recently, Hopefully to be collaborated with Karl Roy and J-Hoon, if they're interested.

We're also cooking up ideas for a DIY music video but we don't know what song to play around with yet.

There's only 2 or 3 songs that have yet to be recorded with vocal tracks but the samples here in soundclick.com are pretty much what makes up the album so if you've downloaded them all, you have already have a partial copy. We'll still be making a CD release but we'll have to save up for the costs of reproducing and printing sleeves and labels. We will be selling these at the cost of reproduction so I hope it'll be cheap enough for everyone to buy. Keep telling friends about this site, keep sharing the tracks and listening to them so we can keep this music alive =) THANKS!

note: please send comments and messages to the band to our email address thirdworldproject2003@yahoo.com, or post a comment on the message board. we can't see your email address and won't be able to send you a reply if you send messages through soundclick. thanks again!

Why this name?
it popped out of nowhere and it just stuck... it can also mean that we are part of a project to spread original filipino music to the rest of the world but that's just too cheesy.
Do you play live?
yes, in bars/clubs all around metro manila... (Millennia, Big Sky Mind, Sanctum)
How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
it doesnt, we've been swapping music among peers for years... i think the internet changed the definition and limitations of the word "peer."
Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
maybe
