Half a year and half the glass full

Sometime this week I realized the band was 6 months old. The journey so far has been anything but boring and uneventful. From shabby little acoustic gigs in ungrateful mall coffee shops to our personal hollow victories at the so called big stages that have long lost their charm we have remained happy, high and always optimistic.

The good shows are lot more in number these days and therefore clinging onto our optimism has paid off. Gigs like Clean and green, Jaaga and Kyra have enabled us to find and solidify our sound. The most recent gig, which was held at Legends of Rock, was nothing short of a really good gig.  

As usual we showed up for sound check late and had a few technical problems before we started. The staff at LOR were really nice and took care of all our needs. The food and the drinks were great and the band couldn't have been more thankful. Sound check done and we were all set.

 We got ready on stage and watched our friends pile up at the tables close to us. They have always been around for our gigs and to be surrounded by them is comforting. The house was packed and everyone had settled in. There is always a certain smell there that makes you feel like your in the 70's. The songs rolled on with the crowd getting more and more into it after every song.

By the time we played the last three songs the crowd had geared up. There were people in the back with their eyes closed and swaying to the music. Our friends, all lined up near the stage, were shouting out our names and poking fun at our stage act. We, as a band, were having a blast.

The gig finally ended and we were approached by 2 guys for our first ever fan photo. We gladly obliged and stood there like a bunch of idiots while they took pictures. The staff gave us a nice big table and enough food to satisfy our appetites. We thanked everyone and headed out home. This had been a very good day. Lets see what the next 6 months has in store.
