[ah-teh vahybs] noun

  1. PR + outreach and consultation shaped by Ate — the Philippine word for older sister — where care and strategy supports artists and honor their stories.

  2. The emotional and operational labor behind visibility: building relationships, and creating the conditions for connection and belonging.

  3. A way of working where the campaign becomes a gathering space — where storytelling, and community meet; and the outcome is not only reach, but kalipay…shared joy.

    Not a concert. Not a rally. Not exactly a meeting. If you know what it means to build something from the ground up, you’ll recognize yourself in this room.

    Inspired by spirit of his album Party Worker, Bambu flips the live hip hop show into a grassroots organizing session. This isn’t a night to sit back with your arms folded. It’s a night to nod in recognition, laugh at the jokes, call and respond, feel the bass of the beat the same way you feel the weight of the work.

    This is about the mechanics of working to serve the people: the strategy, the discipline, the contradictions, the humor, the urgency, and the love.

    A hopeful, behind-the-curtain look at the Eraserheads — a band that, like Oasis or The Beatles, didn’t just make hits; they made generations. It’s the story of the love between a band and its fans: the joy, the fracture, and the healing that comes when music becomes legacy.

  • Recently completed shows in Japan and current Europe tour includes stops: in London, Brussels, and Paris.

    Vicki Huang is a Taiwanese-American musician, DJ, and sound archivist based in Kaohsiung, whose practice centers on diasporic memory and the reactivation of collective memory through sound. Drawing from a growing private archive of rare Taiwanese vinyl spanning post-war folk recordings, Hokkien pop, and early electronic experiments, Vicki reimagines these materials through contemporary downtempo and electronic production, creating music that feels both ancestrally grounded and entirely alive in the present. Their sonic practice has taken root across continents: vinyl listening sessions in New York, a Japan tour with performances at Tokyo Beer Lab and pure vinyl sets at Ella Records and Room303Radio, and a featured mix for the globally distributed HER 他 Transmission series dedicated to an all-femme lineup of Taiwanese and diaspora artists.

    ‍The new release 埕區長全新十吋黑膠 SDM-001 was part of Record Store Day Taiwan, a limited 10" debut EP reimagining Tainan folk songs through electronic downtempo.

  • Kappa Psi Epsilon — 30th Anniversary
    One of the most influential Filipina American organizations on the West Coast, Kappa Psi Epsilon enters its 30th year with a history rooted in its Five Cornerstones: Academic, Community Action, Cultural Awareness, Sisterhood, and Social Networking. Since forming in the mid ’90s—a profound era for progressive politics and artistic expression—the sorority has cultivated generations of leaders to “find their inner strength,” shaping fields from public policy to the arts.

    Notable alumnae include Juslyn Manalo, Councilwoman of Daly City and the city’s first Filipina mayor (2017), and Gayle Romasanta, Executive Director of the Filipino-American Development Foundation and Writer/Executive Producer Larry the Musical. The Kappa anniversary can lend itself to larger features around women’s history, Asian American stories.
