Launching Next Week!

Integrity Music announces the April release of Heal Our Land, a new two-disc album featuring a 12-track CD and bonus DVD from Melbourne, Australia's Planetshakers band.

Latest release from Planetshakers - HEAL OUR LAND. CD+Bonus DVD, P495.00 

Heal Our Land is the 24th project from the Aussie worshippers since the band's formation in 1997. And it is the second release to be distributed under their new partnership with Integrity, following last fall's release of Nothing Is Impossible.

Originally formed to lead worship for the first Planetshakers conference held in Australia, the Planetshakers band is passionate about uniting generations worldwide through worship. Their goal is to see people encounter God, be transformed by His presence and empowered to make a difference in their world. And though they tour internationally, the team remains based out of Planetshakers City Church, a multi-campus, 7,800-member congregation in Melbourne that is pastored by husband and wife, Russell and Sam Evans. 

Recorded live at last year's Planetshakers Conference, Heal Our Land offers up new songs of passionate, vertical praise and sung prayers including the anthemic title track based on 2 Chronicles 7:14. The project features Planetshakers team members including Sam Evans, Rudy Nikkerud and Joth Hunt, who also produced the album.

Ticket Winners!

We did this the old, hard way - to A's delight! She loves organizing raffles and contests, garage sales and parties, etc.

So when I got to the office today, the first thing I did was sort out the tweets. I had marked the tweet entries as 'favorite' (if I didn't mark yours, then that means your account is on private, hence I couldn't see your tweets to me), and made duplicate entries for those that RT'd my tweet regarding the contest.

Doing this the old, hard way. Sorting, printing, cutting, rolling and putting everything in a...

...basket! Couldn't find the fishbowl. Hehe.

Anyway, there were 48 entries in all. No disqualified entries, except for those that tweeted more than once (I still considered your original tweet plus an RT, if any). Each person could have only two entries max.

A was all too excited to pick out winners. Told her she had to close her eyes.

Excited!

Hey, you can't choose that way...

... you have to close your eyes! Hahaha!

And the winners for this contest are...

1) JM :D (@memyselfandi_mj)

2) Gayle Robediso (@GayleWithAY)

and... 3) Yanii Calaminos (@iamyanii)

You each won two (2) Upper B tickets to the Israel Houghton & New Breed + Planetshakers Concert, happening on April 21 at the Smart Araneta Coliseum! Please wait for instructions via Twitter DM (you must follow me @nappyKAYE) on how you can claim your prize.

Thanks to all who participated!

Israel Houghton LIVE in Manila!

GM, my friend and co-DJ on Just For Teens (yes, was a kid DJ sometime back), has been bugging us about getting Israel Houghton (pronounce as Hoh'-tin and not Hew-ton, folks) to come over to the Philippines for a concert. I've been trying to explain to everyone that we're only distributors and have no hand (really) in bringing artists in (well except for a few who actually ask for our help). So when I heard from the grapevine about Israel coming over, I sent GM a message right away.

Yes, folks, it's finally happening! Israel Houghton is coming to Manila! What's more, he's bring the whole gang with him! Yes, that's right, The New Breed's coming, too! And if that isn't enough to get you all extra giddy and jumping up and down, they're also having The Planetshakers share the stage with them! Not one, not two, but 3 amazing artists in one night! Woohoo!

My officemate says this is going to be like November's SAVED Festival, but I think this is way bigger. Having Israel Houghton here is a feat. I remember seeing a concert poster in Singapore back during the New Year holidays and thought they must be extra blessed to have him visit. But alas, he's coming here! FINALLY!

Mark your calendars! It's all happening on the 21st of April 2012 at the Smart Araneta Coliseum. Show starts at 730pm, while gates open at 530pm. If you haven't got tickets yet, I seriously suggest you go get yourself one. NOW! Tickets have been selling like hotcakes (because apparently, it's not only GM who's excited to see Israel Houghton LIVE in Manila! Ha!).

Date: April 21, 2012
Venue: Smart Araneta Coliseum
Time: 7:30PM 


Ticket Prices:
VIP (Reserved Seating) - P1800 
PATRON (Reserved Seating) - P1500 
LOWER BOX (Reserved Seating) - P1200 
UPPER BOX A (Reserved Seating) - P800
UPPER BOX B (Free Seating) - P500
GEN AD (Free Seating) - P 250

Tickets are available at Ticketnet (911-5555) and at the Becca Music Office (9105524/ 9105352). But you'd better act fast, because last I heard, they've sold out of VIP and Patron tickets! You may also reserve online via www.beccamusic.com/reservations.

If you don't know who Israel Houghton is, you'd probably be surprised to realize that you actually know most of his songs - "Friend of God", "Lord, You are Good", "Here I Am to Worship", "Moving Forward", etc. I was discussing this concert with some girlfriends two weeks ago, and T tells me "I know the songs, I just didn't know it was Israel who sang them!" LOL!

For someone who has won dozens of awards, you'd think Israel Houghton would be a household name in the Philippines. Well, he will be - after this event. That's for sure.

DON'T MISS THIS!

Are You Ready for This?

April 21. 730PM. At the Smart Araneta Coliseum.
Mark your calendars! If you haven't gone to get your tickets, get them NOW! 
VIP, Lower Box, and Upper Box A have SOLD OUT!
