Enslaved and Tesseract have both declared on their official Facebook pages that they will be performing in India this December for Great Indian Rock(GIR)!!! We haven’t seen the bands confirming it on any other pages like myspace/twitter, so it doesn’t seem like a totally done deal as of now. 1807
On an unconventional version (not to mention, facetious) of the clichéd list of 1001 things do before you die, watching Scribe in Calcutta (I refuse to refer to it as Kolkata) sits comfortably and peculiarly at # 337, sandwiched between ‘a truce for the Middle east nations’ (336) and ‘closure for the JFK assassination conspiracy’ (338) because it’s one of the most acausal events in the country (unlike a solution to the middle east predicament), yet it had baffling consequences (making it more elusive than the Dealey plaza blow to the Kennedy’s).

Atmosfear has been one of the more prominent local bands in Mumbai for quite some time now. They’ve been a part of most of the gigs I’ve been to over here, so it saddened me when I heard that Ulhas, the vocalist, was leaving the band. This is the message they’ve sent from their facebook page. 1665
The music video- the latest trend in our circles right now. Independent bands have started to use videos as an easy way to promote their music, and it seems to be working well so far. Also thanks to social media networking, not everyone needs VH1 to market themselves. 1648
The VH1 Story-Tellers format for gigs is now being adapted by our bands. Chennai based Blind Image, in association with Shruti Musicals presents ‘Smack-dab in the middle of the shitstorm’, the Blind Image story. And yes, the show is also supported by Headbangers India! 1645
