Strange Frequencies

Cheers! To the start of a new year.

After a grinding halt to our gigging spree in December, we're finally back. December was a month we had to take off, stop the music and turn off the lights. But it was a crazy month after all. With the onslaught of VTU exams, final year project submissions, jobs and BFA classes we hardly had time to tune guitars.

This dead time was quite a torture for all of us. We were suddenly not playing any shows, not jamming and not making music. It is true, once the stage-bug bites you, you're done for. The craving to get back on stage is a soft buzzing bee at the back of your head telling you that you don't really have anything to look forward to. Bad sound, the lack of a projector, broken guitar strings; these were problems that didn't exist in December and that kinda sucked.

We took our vacations after all this academic tension passed and did our own thing, yet constantly planning things for our next show(whenever that would be) in our minds, only looking forward to riding that bumpy road to jam hut.

Now that gig season has reopened for us, we're looking at implementing all those ideas and detailing every little thing that we'd thought of, including the purchase of a tuner. A special thanks to all of Adi's friends who were thoughtful enough to gift him a djembe for his birthday.

The days have rolled on as we approach our first real stage of 2010 tomorrow(22nd January) at Unwind Center. For the first time we share stage with artists who play a similar genre of music - Lounge Piranha and Sulk Station; and for the first time you will get to listen to some new material we've been working on.

The very next day we leave to Pondicherry to play and support Freedom Jam. This also happens to be our first out station tour and we personally feel its a great place to start.

Things to look out for in 2010 -

• The Bicycle days' EP
• Clipped Wing Satellite's EP
• Sand Animation Vs. Visual projections at an up-coming show
• DFTT playing different cites across India(hopefully the world)
• Our not-so-shiny Demo
• and lots of peace

Also, we're open to public opinion. So if you think you know a place we should play a gig at or you think we can do a part of our song differently or you just want to tell us how bad we are, e-mail us on dronesfromtheturbine@gmail.com

There's a strange intuitive buzz about the year 2010; a very crazy buzz. With hope in our hearts and peace in our minds, we hope that you do your bit in propagating some peace and spreading the word of good music.

peace and love!
