I am currently listening to ‘Ettam Pattu’ which has a distinctive RHCP-ish feel to it, but then gets transformed into something else altogether as the song progresses.
I heard from my friend Prasad just a while ago that Anand Raj is not in the country, and hence their DJ / turntable Tony John will be at the helm of the vocals instead. Their myspace page also doesn’t mention Anand in it. Funny.
Edit: Turns out, Benjamin has left the band. So much for being up to date on the music scene. I think I should retire.
Well, nevertheless, Avial will be performing live at the Palace Grounds in Bangalore on 24th August 2008 as part of the Independence Rock’s Bangalore finale. I hope to be there, time and circumstances permitting.
If you think they’re your cup of tea (stew, rather), check them out. For more information, visit – http://www.independencerock.in
PS – Yours truly is in the process of writing a review for Avial’s music on Gigpad. Links will be provided, watch this space.
Got here from clicking on a lot of random links.
This may sound cliched but Avial rocks. But you don’t mention Naresh and the awesosaucesome basslines? It has the familiar ring of blasphemy…wait till the offenderati k ocks at your doors! Hmph.
oh, my gigpad review does mention the bass lines of Mr.Kamath. Let’s just say I’ve not heard enough of it to want to blog / LJ about it just yet! But total agreement with the out-of-the-world bass part.
