and the D-day comes close(r)

I understand this is not a regular blog, or so it appears.

Well, maybe I'm jittery to report progress. Being a strong follower of Murphy's laws maybe pushes me to not do a few things. I try and avoid being in such an awkward situation.

I guess (and hope) that updates would happen now, more often.

Well, hello to all the folks who took time to read this. Make sure your friends know about us. They better know now that we'll be known soon :P

About 6 years of the inception of the band. Band members came and went. But it stood all tests of time and geographic locations. Interests still remain the same. Idea and goals still remain the same. Only delay is with the execution of things, which, I feel is trivial compared to the driving force behind it.

I can now safely make a statement that we are coming out with an album. 6 years. Not many happening shows. Not many crazy fans. The thought of the album, as I recall was born as early as 2008. Neither did we have the resources nor the gear. Only thing that has continued to be with us is the love and support of well-wishers and friends.

Again, playing around, I'll not reveal much details about the album right away. I feel its all like making a movie sometimes. Maybe its more difficult than that, but the problem here in this country right now is the utter callousness with which music is seen. Its always 'music' that compliments the movie, 'background score' for a movie, 'item songs' for the mass, etc. There is a fraction of people who can really appreciate music, and I'm glad to know that that fraction is increasing in size. Can we all come together and actually support new and original music in today's times? With media being so strongly used, with social networking providing for ample support and publicity, with language barriers cutting across music in live concerts, I sincerely hope we do.

Let me keep the blog short for now. I'll just say the recording is happening, quite on a leash. Things will be made known to public when they are ready.

More soon.
