The right time

" in a moment that belongs to you,
a memory will be born,
one that will take you forward,
with no regret or remorse.

Death will be a guest,
when the rains would come.
They take away the lights
only to give your pyre more burn"
                            - R.I.P Zoom 606

Death was least expected on that day. But, while we just about finished playing "Chaos Theory" at the big mushroom cloud festival, i looked up to see the crowd going helter-skelter and wondered, "wow! we couldn't be THAT bad", only to realize that it had started raining. I looked around to find the other guys from the band returning home from that outro that we were lost in. I heard Karan's voice on the monitor grow, " guys, we've to stop. Guys! please wind up. Machaaaa, its raining, please stop playing..." and so he repeated, we couldn't stop for some reason and then we did.

It had started raining sometime in the middle of the second part and we hadn't realized. We didn't realize that some of the lights that were facing us had blown up and that Sadhu's guitar had gone off because the pedal had died. We tried everything possible but that was that. The Zoom 606 i had bought a few years ago as a "kid who's kinda into guitars" had finally met its death on stage. Dramatic!

Sometimes you don't expect shit like that to come by. You don't expect that you'll get calls from people saying they want to write about you and you don't expect people from different countries e-mailing to tell you how they'd like to jam with us. These things are hard to digest but its the truth.

The Oresund Space Collective is a band that we've looked up to in the past couple of weeks and we love what they're pumping out. Dr. Space and everyone with him is doing a fantastic job taking us to different parts of space with their music. They're a band we're really digging and they're mainly from Denmark. We hit 'em up on myspace and gave them the obligatory friend request thinking that it would be another one of those fan created pages, but who knew, Dr. Space himself was managing the page! His comments on the Drones from the Turbine page have greatly humbled us and we're trying our best to have a jam with him and the rest of the space collective soon.

Other gigs are coming up in Bangalore and other cities as well. Think we should play in your city? shoot us an e-mail, see if you can help us. We're having a little trouble finding our way to the studio but as soon as we learn to read the map, we'll let you know for sure.

Long overdue are a few recordings we caught hold of from our night at Fete De La Musique (here's the article in case you missed it). Here they are in no particular order -

See you at a show near you.

peace and love!
