Mr. Big Concert At Palace Grounds In Bangalore, India

Mr. Big, one of my favorite rock bands when I was growing up, is playing at Palace Grounds, Bangalore on October 10th. Wow, this is an International concert and one that I have been dying to go to.

Bangalore, which has been hosts to a number of International acts like Iron Maiden, Deep Purple, INXS, Mark Knopfler, Roger Waters, Bryan Adams, and many more, is finally coming up with another International concert.  Mr. Big who belong to a very special rock genre named ‘shredder metal’ will be rocking angalore and some more cities in the North East of India. I’ve  always thought the North East of India are lucky to have some really obscure rock acts perform there when we never get to see them. But not this time. This time we are all equal :)

Why do I like Mr. Big? It’s because of their musical style which is a blend of blues style singing, neat guitar techniques and above all musical. Their most popular song would be “Wild World” which is an over played song on TV, Radio and on the Internet. However, there are quite a few other songs that I would love to hear them sing, notably

  • Wild World (of course :) )
  • Green Tinted Sixties Mind
  • To Be With You
  • Just Take My Heart
  • Ain’t Seen Love Like That
  • Promise Her The Moon
  • Daddy, Brother, Lover, Little Boy (The Electric Drill Song)
  • Colorado Bulldog
  • Nothing But Love
  • Goin’ Where the Wind Blows

This is a concert to which you can bring your girlfriend or wife also with you. They are going to love the songs.

So, who’s gonna be there? I’ll be there with Nafisa. Yoo hoo hoo hooooooooooooo :)

What about you?

Did You Know Bono

Did you know that Bono, the frontman for the rock band U2, is the only person on earth nominated for an Oscar, Grammy, Golden Globe and Nobel Peace Prize?

I never knew that until today – found through NTDWA

Freedom Jam Bangalore At Alliance Francaise

Freedom Jam is back, but not with a great bang as it was some years ago :-(

I remember a time when we used to party from 6 in the evening of Independance day till 6 in the morning on Independance day. And it used to happen at The Club on the outskirts of Bangalore city. There used to be so many bands playing all the time and it was no doubt the woodstock of Bangalore.

However, these days we have to settle down for a small but still energizing concert at Alliance Francaise.  The festival is presented by Bharat Mata Nach Kud Baja, who started the Freedom Jam concept. As usual, the concert is free and the bands play for free.

Bangaloreans, I will be there today after 4 PM. Will you?

Another Fosters Art Of Chilling Party That Rocked Bangalore

Another Sunday, not this Sunday but last week, spent partying by the poolside. All thanks to Fosters and its Art of Chilling, perfected with lots of Fosters, barbecue, good people, music and hey that’s a party.

The one thing about this party was that I was able to tweet while partying on my blackberry. That felt nice. Check out the tweets at http://hashtags.org/tag/fosters/messages.

We came in early, for once, and we were joined by a few bloggers, Harish and Rachna. Then Sriharsha and one more blogger friend made a brief apppearance after which they had to run away. Then Bharath a new blogger from office dropped in with a girlfriend. And then we partied all evening, at least, till the party ended. Which we thought was never ;-) .

Since Manu had dropped in from Vellore for a brief visit it was all the more merrier with Nafisa, Anoop, Diana and me having a merry time.

Strange Love By Koop, Coke Ad Romance In The Library

Checked out the Coke Ad with two young people in the library? The one where coke flows from one person’s hand to another? Check it out below.

And the name of the haunting song? It is by a band called Koop consisting of an electronic jazz duo from Sweden and sung by Hilde Louise Asbjornsen. I just love this song. Check it out below:

Watch, listen, enjoy!!!
