Back. And loving it. Missed the family.
Decent gig in Delhi, at Le Royale Mirage (which, despite the Frenchie monicker, has egyptian motifs at the entrance, and very plush, slightly massage-in-a-brothel decor on the inside). Cool place, looked packed.
Dunno what it was, but it wasn’t the best gig we played – started real late, around midnight, [...]

Just a reminder that they gotta come back here and cook and generally party more!

The brilliant summer weather is always mad! TAAQ is meant to bring rain wherever they go, but looks like it was the other way round this time. THey bought in sunshine for three weeks and when its the appointed time to leave, the clouds are back again! Bleh! Anyways, its a mad scram to find [...]

Well. We made it into the National Dailies. Check this link.
The Herald

Little Tony Das, dreaming of his lass (babe? naaah, his Tele, silly), sits in the hall shredding away on his yet-unsold (sigh) Ibanez. The Guzuru man is busy doing some brisk, expletive-laden kitchen magic. Rajeev is somewhere en route from London to Glasgow, plane, taxi, whatever. Rudy probably in Exeter or Newcastle, should make it [...]

This angel in man-form, i first encountered on a trip to Kodai. 94 i think the year was. And the manna he made in the form of his Special Apple Crumble was truly heaven sent.
since then i’ve seen him in many avatars, in many places. The last place i could have imagined seeing him would [...]

Another good gig last night, at the Hold, Admiral Bar, Waterloo St., Glasgow. Played alongside four bands this time, and the first, called Wakeover, was the most interesting. Some good energy, nice Marshall amp, and Tony was drooling all over the guitar player’s Tele as usual (for those who came in late, Tony is veering [...]

The flyers for the sleazys gig is up and running. A few thousand of them comfortably housed at many Glasgow venues. Playing along with His Girl Friday and Kingston!
Yesterday saw a few members visit the Kapital Kittie – Edinburgh. Nice day with some havoc sunshine, a sort of novely here! Holyrood is a bloody joke! [...]

Bruce and Prakash Sontakke in The Hindu Metro Plus Bangalore

Spent the last few days bumming around Glasgow, walking. Playing a million guitars in all the music stores. Almost bought one (sigh). So damn expensive here – same guitar is 300 $ in the US, is 300£ here! Still haven’t stopped converting the damn numbers in the old noodle.
This has been a trip of coincidence [...]

I am in one of those mad moods after the havoc Monty Python trip! Anyways, the drummer turns out to be an awesome cooks who makes one of those Gourmet Dal by my standards!
That apart, tonnes of activity, tonnes of buzz happening otherwise. One of the flyers for one of the gigs:
