La confusion! La confusion! Pourquoi?

Like one of the lines of the song that was written.. '..change is the only thing that's constant., the way of life survives on it...' Change is totally inevitable. The best thing is to perceive it, is to believe that whatever happens is for the good.

Blendzz and Nevermind. 2 bands that came together lookin' forward to have a great time. The result? NO. This not a predictable hindi movie. Yes, we did have a great time together. Many great songs were born, many good friends were made, lots and lots of new ideas were thought of. Yeah, i know you are sensing a 'but' there, but there ain't one! :P

We created a fusion of the bands months ago. Things were fine till we realised that it would be best if we actually concentrated on what intentions the bands were made with, rather than plain and simple jammin'. That led us to 'part ways' and make sure the thoughts didn't tangle with ourselves!

The most general notion that anyone would get when someone mentions a 'parting' or a 'split' is that someone was pissed, someone fought, or someone broke someone's tooth :D. For those who are wondering which of these happened between us, i'd like to say 3 words, BALLS TO YOU! If you can't understand how a split can occur without a bad experience, yeah, you are at the right place to realise it - this is how it can be done. :)

We both are still there, to help each others out in any situation, and i really don't know why even the mention of all this is necessary! ;)

So, here we are, the rejuvenated bands, trying to get experimental with new stuff. Lookin forward to some great music, and some great shows too.

The journey

i've never made blogs.. never had written account for the things done.. but one year and more, (and still counting) into blendzz, i just thought lemme just put few things down.. it all started when vinay shantagiri and i started weird jammin sessions (if we can call them that!) at the hostel in SIT.. with rubarooo.. luka chuppi.. and the some-chord-some-rhythm-some-vocal pattern we did spontaneously.. gosh! all seems like yesterday! having had no contact with aravinda, managed to find her, (thanks to orkut) and my idea of years was few weeks away from reality.. 'ok.. we are a band.. what next??? who'll give us shows?? what kind of music should we play??? do we have enough people??' were quite a few questions that plagued us.. all thanks to kiran and aravinda, we thought it was a lot more relaxing to not concentrate on all those issues now.. it was decided we'll make new songs.. no matter how difficult it'd be.. frequencies matched, 'mahaganapathim' was rehashed.. 'inspiration' was made.. 'pyaar' was made (of course, the intention was to make a song on world peace.. that changed to friendship, which then changed to love! :P) 3 songs old, and the band started growing.. individual talents started blossoming.. jairaj joined the band.. he kept the percussions going.. the 'nevermind' duo karthik and shankar joined us too.. lots of new songs came up.. solo compositions started showing too.. i can't remember all the compositions, but the ones that have stood out are 'geLeyare' that was made like spontaneously for the tumkur show that never happened, (shanky, the lead rocks) 'eternal flow' that is so deep, 'teri yaad' that is wonderfully mellifluous..

there have been a zillion changes since 22nd june.. i bought a yamaha psr e 403, (fully knowing how limited my keyboard skills are! ;)) we performed once at the JN Tata Auditorium, we found lots and lots of people - amit, ramya, rohan, we opened up our minds for various genres, karthik started writing lyrics, vinay started writing and composing, (well, if he keeps making songs like hope, he can release an album all by himself in a few days :D) shankar made a song called 'just like you' which, i feel belongs to that 'special' genre, oh.. and i started writing too :D, THE find is definitely NITIN.. the drummer with whom all of us gelled instantaneously.. the brother band - 'nevermind' blossomed - with the recent show at koramangala, karthik bought some super guitar.. (i'm a guitar illiterate.. wouldn't know much about it :P)

So far, so good.. lookin forward for some more songs and music.. and of course, more shows.. :)
