Recording EP

Tuesday, June 28, 2005
Entering the final stage of EP recording and subsequent release. Expect something tangible in late Sept. 2005. It's been a long time, living with these songs and now I think we have done them justice in arrangement and execution.

I hope that they continue to connect with you as they do for us.

Junoon and U2 AND Live8, Damn!

Just an expression of "wow" towards Junoon, the Pakistani Sufi Band. Paki-pop was always a step ahead of India, but this takes the lead.

Now, if there was a champion to root for from India....ahem, self-promo opp. ;-)

Give it a listen and send comments/praise.

After the India Mela 2005

Tuesday, June 21, 2005
Well, we arrived for our 4pm slot on Father's Day - June 19th, 2005. Due to IST (Indian Standard Time), we didn't take to the stage until 7pm. So, basically we were upgraded from standard performers to closers. An honor, in the rock world, though I don't think any thought was given to this by the organizers.

We were missing Aron on the drums - prior engagements that he couldn't get out of. Since we had rehearsed the Friday before, giving our setlist an acoustified feel, we were confident to carry on with the aid of a simple drum machine. And I think we did great as a band.

Not only I share this belief. The crowd applause, cheers, and invite from the organizers to OPEN the event next year are my proof of a good show. So, approximately 18 months into this creative venture and we are still on schedule.

ROCK ON!

What goes up...

Monday, June 06, 2005
Stays up for some, or comes crashing down for others.

I've been here before and this is what I've learned: Forge ahead. Inaction is worse than wrong action. So, expect much more music - yes, that is the intent behind this venture, no? And sooner than later on all accords.

Perhaps this realization will keep things positive and continue the ascent that happened early on. I think it must - or else, I've sent these words to a wasteland of dejection.
