Don Caballero

is one of my new favourites. Their second album "Don Caballero 2" is essential for anyone who calls themselves a math rock/metal fan. They are an extremely unique instrumental band with a brilliant drummer in the form of Damon Che. I wouldn't suggest their first album "For Respect" to a newbie, simply because the songs are much less ass kicking compared to "2".

I will remember Shakti

I was fortunate to see Remember Shakti live in Bombay a couple of days back. Needless to say, the show was exceptional. The line up consisted of John Mclaughlin (guitars), Zakir Hussain (Tabla,Drums), Mandolin Shrinivas, V. Selvaganesh (kanjira, ghatam, mridangam) and Shankar Mahadevan (vocals). Its an unforgettable experience.

Children Playing

.. is the name of my new band. We are me on bass, Sajid on guitars, Lionel on Drums/Tabla and Atul on vocals/harmonica. We play freeform unstructured music and have almost finished composing three songs. You can catch us playing in the Livewire competition this month.
