If it’s a metal video about butt-cracks, chaddis and big ass problems (literally), it’s got to be Workshop! The men in uniform have just released a brand new music video for their track “Gajanand Dhige”.
Watch the video here:
The song is from their newest album ‘Made Love to the Dragon’. They previously released a lyric video for their first single, titled “She came”.

Mumbai’s “funny band” Workshop has just called it quits. It was only recently that Riju Dasgupta, bass player, announced that he would be quitting the band to concentrate on his other project Albatross. And just as the note released says, Riju, along with Sahil and Hamza, were the main guys in the band, and without that equation, it didn’t seem right anymore.
Here’s the complete note they released via their Facebook page:
“After almost 4 years as a band, releasing 1 album, playing tons of shows and filling the internet with video blogs and other madness, we who are Workshop have decided to call it quits. This was a very hard decision for us to make and we have long pondered over it. Workshop has been a part of all our lives and we will forever cherish our moments together as a band and the support we’ve received over the years from friends, family, fans and any other catagory of people we may have excluded.
Workshop in essence was Sahil, Riju and Hamza. It just doesn’t feel the same anymore and it would be wrong to continue the project without us being 100% into it, it wouldn’t be fair to us or the fans. So we feel that it is time to call it quits.
We were in the process of writing and recording our 2nd album and while we don’t know what to do with the music but we are goign to complete the recording process and then take a call if we should release it or not. But for now the band Workshop is now over. So we put down our yellow hard hats and undress ourselves out of the jump suits or ‘broiler’ suiits as Demonstealer once called them and we hang them up high.
We loved every minute of this awesome journey and we received so much love and support and even braved the critisim we often faced about ruining metal/music by adding humor to it, but given the chance we’d do it all over again. Workshop was an extension of who we are as people and when people are not there anymore it cannot be Workshop.
We’re rambling now, but that is mainly because it is always painful to say goodbye. So stay funny, stay fantastic and we’ll see you on the dark side of the spoon.
Signing off,
Workshop”

Headbangers India wishes the band members all the best with their other projects. As for the rest of you, the post for humor-metal band is now currently vacant. Think you can give it a shot?
Mumbai based metal band Workshop has just announced that Riju Dasgupta aka The Rijunator has quit the band.
The note reads:
“It is with great sadness that we announce the departure or our longtime bass player, founding member of Workshop and close friend Riju from the band. After 3 years with Workshop Riju has decided to pursue a different path.
We’ve had an amazing journey together and all good things in life do come to an end so we wish Riju a lot of success in his musical journey ahead. While it is almost impossible to imagine Workshop without him we have decided to carry on and will soon be auditioning bass players.”
Riju also released a note explaining the reason for quitting the band:
“Dear fans and friends,
In what has been a very difficult decision, I’ve decided to step down as the bassist of Workshop. Difficult not only because I’ve had a total blast playing before you fuckers across the country, but because Sahil and Hamza are two of the best friends I’ve ever had. From making an absolute fool of myself on national TV to making an absolute fool of myself off TV, from getting all excited about Bunty Aur Mallika Sherwath video stats to watching you all scream ‘Do Bade Bubbley’ when we played the song, from the madness onstage and in the jamroom to the food we stuffed ourselves with post the jams; the journey’s been nothing short of fucking awesome.
And now you ask, why then dost thou quit? As of now I’m focused on my main project Albatross and it’s a full time commitment. I wish Workshop all the best; as I know they’ll keep kicking ass without me and I pledge my support to whatever they decide to do.
And to conclude here’s thanking everyone who’s ever been part of the Workshop clan- Sahil, Hamza, Raj, Devesh, Shome, Zain, Mrudul, Jared, Deepti, Mikhail, Basrur, Bipro, Eshaan, Santhosh, Aditya, Demonic Resurrection, Coshish, Channel [v], every fucking gig organiser who’s invited us for their fest, everyone we’ve shared the stage with, everyone who’s ever interviewed us, everyone who’s made these last 3 years really special. Love you all.
So long and thanks for all the bukkake,
The Rijunator”
