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.. :)
