VAYU @ NJJBTB

from last couple of months i didn't write much on this blog; i 've just been moving off and on and not getting a kick to write something that is worthful for 10 minutes of writing. things of the past. the past was the long weekend and i had nothing specific planned but to kill time at home; listening to Satch's latest album 'super colossal'; reading some thing and something like that. but the eye of Sauron had something else planned. hemi forwarded me an e-mail that VAYU is coming to Pune @ '(not just) Jazz by the Bay'. i had been to this place before, but didn't have a cue as to what VAYU holds. is it just VAYU or anything more?

i must accept that it didn't start too well, oh! no, not the show, my entry at NJJBTB. i was wearing sandals and, as would be mandated by any good restaurant, sandals were not allowed. but i have that itch of going through painstaking processes and get the things done, which might not be worthy for the efforts. But this time it was quite different. i met 2Blue - band's lead singer - he had known hemi from their NITIE gig. and hey! i had my way inside the place.

i tell you what i had quite a nice impression about these guys the moment i met them. 2Blue is flamboyant, and is truely the face of the band. he is all what a frontman has to be. ravi iyer is quite a passionate guy; his guitar speaks more than he does. and then schubert, a modest face of not so modest band. guy! is he ambidextrous. hell ye! quite a perfectionist with his bass-guitar and more so with his keyboard. the drummer, aatur; not sure how the band's last drummer was, but with certain clarity i can say that the band was lucky to have found aatur.

the band is more in led zep, floyd, hendrix; hell, what else can i ask for. check them out @ www.vayu.co.in
