As A Prominent Figure in Manila's Music Scene
Even before Kunawicz' columns, however, she was already well known as a prominent member of the Manila music scene. In 1991 she co-founded the Dredd Poets Society with Patrick Reidenbach and Robbie Sunico. Together they produced monthly poetry readings and rock concerts at Club DREDD, the Quezon City club that became the epicenter of Manila rock scene.
Kunawicz also served as the manager of local rock band for Love Bigots Love from 1994 until 1996, which was the same year Clubb Dredd closed down.

“So gladly, from the songs of modern speech
Men turn, and see the stars, and feel the free
Shrill wind beyond the close of heavy flowers,
And through the music of the languid hours,
They hear like ocean on a western beach
The surge and thunder of the Odyssey.”
—Andrew Lang (1844–1912)
