This show will be remembered as the show that almost never happened and because of Holi! but that is another story 
IISc’s Miditha was the last stop on a a short tour of sorts where we played shows on alternate days to round up the month of February. But some confusion meant that everything got sorted out at the last minute, but that is not something to worry about. The usual suspects caused a lot of tension during the sound check as usual, but that was sorted out to and from there on, nothing could stop this from being a fun show!
A Sunday night on the eve of Holi might not have been the best setting for a show, but we were quite surprised by the turnout! about 1500 to 2000 people who came in and most of them bang up front against the stage! All our settings we had finalized during our sound check went for a toss much to our sound engineer Niranjan’s dismay because the crowd right up front were just so loud!
But a couple of songs and all was in order as we went out and belted songs from the first album throwing in some of the new ones at regular intervals and at the same time fulfilling requests for songs from Raghu’s movies – it was a careful balancing act. But we have heard the requests for new material and the 2nd album and both are on their way – the new material is ready and at last count over 15 songs that we need to pick from for the next album and they will be unleashed sooner than you think 
A thank you to all who came out to see us that night, it was brilliant to have everyone so close to the stage and loving the music!
Big thank you’s to Mitr Raj and Arun Ganesh for these excellent photos! Anyone else with photos, please do send them over or give us a link to the photos

I enjoyed the show. Tx. The lower turnout was sure cuz of Holi (Bhang time) and probably also because of unawareness (most did not know of the gig and those who knew wondered if it was an IISc only gig)!

The show was awesome!!!We had a blast!!Truly entertaining!! It would have been better if Raghu had sung a good number of Hindi songs rather than Kannada songs keeping in view the majority non-Kannada folks in the crowd…!!
