Mondo aka Mon Castro (1994) of Pin-Up Girls

Posted on October 14th, 2004 in Entertainment by Admin

MondoMon Castro (Thomasian Triskelion Batch 1994) has a job as a mild-mannered DJ on NU107,where among other things, he hosts special shows like EuroRock and Club Retro . A few nights a week, he morphs into the dynamic frontman for the indie band Pin-Up Girls , which has taken the indie label quite seriously by deciding to record and produce their own independent album “soft-launched” last 2001 at Mayrics, entitled “Hello Pain” . For the modest budget of around P60,000 (raised over a series of garage sales) they have managed to bypass the major labels (who have bypassed them as well) and come up with their very own CD after all these years. Maybe it’s the schizophrenia of it all that caused Mon to scream into a headphone jack when we simply asked him to smile for the nice camera. Now a punk attitude like that shouldn’t go to waste, and deserves a 70’s grainy Black-and-white Tri-X photo treatment. Still, for the ladies that prefer a cuddlier, less threatening Mondo, we offer the color snap on the right, suitable for tucking in your wallets for that swoon on the go.
