In pursuit of Beautiful-ish things

The plan has always been quite clear. Get a gig, find your band members, jam (or not) and go play. But, that's what you'd do when you've a band. Of late, we seemed to have a band member less. With Abhinav's doctors cutting down his jam time thanks to tinnitus(his ear condition, constant buzzing, very painful); he dicided to dedicate the little jam time he has to his band, Inner Sanctum. Mucho respect senor.

So with a week left for our unwind show, we headed out to find a shiny new drummer. As luck would have it, we did find one right outside our house. Some guy we randomly knew said he'd started drumming and had a kit about 20mins away. So we went over and jammed. Although the jam was good, he was kinda creepy.

So, we were left less than a week and still no drummer. At this time we got on to facebook and all the wonderful contacts we had on our phones to find a drummer. We got in touch with some random people but with no response. Then there was Aditya. An old friend of mine (Pranav), the guy i'd first gone up on stage with back in school to play "hotel california". So, i called the guy over, introduced him to the band, smoked a coupla' greens and got down to jamming. Neither he nor us have a kit so for that jam he used a wooden board to do percussions on, followed that up with a coupla jam sessions at unwind center before we found heaven.

Heaven to us is a place in Hennur called "the Jam Hut". It is the ideal jam hut. for 200bucks an hour you get a well padded garage with a cut, some huge speakers, an able mixer and Gerry(the owner) lets you smoke, booze and what not. The jam we had that day was without a doubt the best jam we've had. We saw that Adi was having fun so we knew we had our drummer.

Knowing very well that we are a psychedelic experience, we made sure the audience has a similar experience as well. so we set up live visuals to be projected on us while we play. The result you can see on the video that will be up soon.

So, what are we looking for next? more shows, more psychedelic collaborations, more new music and a lot more fun. What we really want to do is involve other types of artist, painters, illustrators, dancers to bring their art-form to our stage and collaborate with us.

And if you're a tree, please just get on stage the next time we play. I just like trees.
