04:10 - Aftermath

Woo!
All our 'late night' practice did pay off (for what it was worth)

Big stadium...about 7500~ people. But the strange thing was I never felt nervous about it :-s not while i was playing anyway :P

This is the way it went:

Three songs it was (except Nothing Else Matters). The first one Californication came out quite well. All the drum rolls and the solo. The second one, Boulevard of Broken Dreams got really damaged... there was no 'sync' or may be the song was not meant to be played onstage with such equipment. It was a mess. Then came 'Teen Spirit' ... I stomped on heavy distortion for this :D (which got some attention i guess)

And in the end there was some cheer and applause (which was more than what I expected :-s ) It felt good.

The responses were quite good. One was that my voice was quite different on stage.

Thus ended my first 'concert' with due apologies to people who'd prefer to not call it one ;-)

And the 'rendezvous' team is gonna meet for dinner next weekend to celebrate 'the Dutch style' (Boss' words)

KO !

22:39 - My first band!

Never thought the 'Rendezvous' thing would materialize at all! I mean for a 'Rock' band. IT DID and we are playing tommorrow at the Nehru Stadium ! Today is the last practice 'night' @ Lakshman Shruthi

This is the list of the songs:

Californication - RHCP
Boulevard of Broken dreams - Greenday
Nothing Else Matters - Metallica (If they let us play 4 songs)
Smells Like Teen Spirit - Nirvana


Hope to get some snaps and put it on here :D

08:21 - Lost in the city

I finally got my electric guitar an Ibanez 370DX BK
The new 2005 model...can't believe I got it at all!

It's like one of those things that you keep waiting for such a long time that when it actually happens, you just can't get to realise it has happened ...

doesn't make sense? nevermind ...

So here's the set:

Ibanez 370 DX
Boss GT8
Marshall 15CD (15W) (yes, a low end one)


And currently am having trouble finding a 220V/110V 35W converter for my GT8 processor. I looked around for this thing at almost all the shops in my place and T Nagar(wrong choice I realized) My feet still hurt as I write this for all the walking I did......

I think I have to go to Kalimdor to get that one


PS. Form a band, anyone? ;)
