ADVAITA LIVE AT HARD ROCK DELHI ON THURSDAY, 4th FEBRUARY

‘A’- non, ‘dvaita’ – dual, Advaita means experiencing all as "One". To the uninitiated, Advaita is an eclectic fusion band based in New Delhi, India. It is the expression of eight distinct musical sensibilities that dissolve into each other to bring forth a truly unique and ingenious sound.

Indian Classical Traditions are given new dimension, as they are reinvented within a contemporary soundscape in harmony with Rock and Electronica. Their music is deeply inspired by the quest to discover rhythms and textures that resonate around us and within us. The Sarangi, Tabla, Bass, Keyboards, Guitars and Drums blend seamlessly, complimented perfectly by two of the most gifted Hindustani and Western Vocalists. Their brand of contemporary ‘organic’ fusion has been lauded as one of the most original and ground- breaking sounds to ever come out of the Indian underground music scene. They have successfully carved out a niche` for their New Age Music in the Global context, while staying true to their characteristically Indian roots.

The “Advaita Experience” is defined by the pursuit of that incredible moment during performance when the musician becomes the music and forgets his own identity, resulting in thoroughly electrifying stage performances.

SUPERSONICS AND THE MAVYNS LIVE AT HARD ROCK PUNE ON THURSDAY, 4th FEBRUARY

THE MAVYNS

The guys were in Bombay going through their mundane jobs. Something hit them and they decided to quit their day jobs to go to Goa to record a demo album and gig at local pubs and bars. Pradeep was reading a biography of The Beatles and by the end of it he decided, “If the Beatles can have their Hamburg, I damn well can have my Goa.”

They had no bassist, but a friend in Goa agreed to take on the duties. They bought an Analog Mixer from Lamington Road and a bunch of Ahuja microphones and were off. They drove to Goa in the official band car affectionately known as "Keeda", owing to the fact that the Maruti 800 is pretty much the VW Beetle equivalent, here in India.

The Mavyns set up shop at the Kris’ place, a beautiful 100-year-old Portuguese bungalow. Using bamboo sticks as mic stands and a classic 'Goan' ambient noise, they recorded 12 demos, all original music. Wanting to keep the sound as raw as possible, there was no tracking of any kind. The demo album’s name is 'Socegado Sessions'.

After recording the demos and playing their first ever gig in Goa at Cafe Infantaria, Kris headed back to Bombay. Pradeep and Vivek headed up to Arambol, where they giged for 3 months at local pubs and shacks on the beach. The season ended and they made their way back to good ole' Bombay. They were short of bass guitarist, as their bassie from Goa decided to stay back. After a month or two of looking for a replacement, they finally settled with Vivek's brother Varoon, who agreed although never having played bass before. The Mavyns were complete and ready to work on new material.

SUPERSONICS

Ugly, dirty and ultra-talented, The Supersonics crashed the Calcutta music scene with a high voltage performance at a crowded little bar called Someplace Else. Formed in 2006, their defiant anthems have already earned them an anti-gravity cult status. Geared with a toothpaste fresh sound and a dangerous stage presence, it would be wrong to call The Supersonics a band. They are a milk-drinking, vitamin-popping call to arms. They are a shiny new revolution.

SAVING ABEL: Biography

"You know when you hear a song on the radio and you don't know who it is, but you love it and feel like you've heard it before? That's our band! The first time someone hears us, they go, 'I know that band!' Then someone explains, 'no, it's a brand-new song and band.' Saving Abel has an accessible and comfortable sound---you HAVE heard us before," states lead singer Jared Weeks. On their self-titled Virgin Records debut, songs range from the wild road tale in "New Tattoo" to the sexual innuendos of the aptly titled first single, "Addicted."

Weeks and Jason Null formed the band in their small hometown of Corinth, Mississippi in 2004. They met when Weeks, who was in a band, was playing guitar at his best friend's house, when Null, who was in a rival local group, walked in to rehearse with his band. Within days of that meeting, Null and Weeks were writing and honing the intimate writing style that now defines Saving Abel. In early 2005, the pair's songs caught the ear of noted producer Skidd Mills (12 Stones, Saliva, Submersed), who took the band into his 747 Studios in Memphis. Mills notes, "It was '18 Days' that hooked me. The first time I heard it I was like, 'these guys are the real deal; they'll be doing this for a long time.' Jason and Jared have always understood that the most important part of the music business is having great songs."

Saving Abel gradually came together in the final electric lineup of guitarist Scott Bartlett, bassist Eric Taylor, and drummer Blake Dixon, and the band paid its dues both onstage and off. Weeks would toss Saving Abel demos onto the stage when bigger bands played in town, and between playing gigs, working day jobs, and Weeks and Null constantly driving from Mississippi to Memphis to record their self-titled EP with Mills, it was a busy and prolific couple years. Weeks remembers; "I used to work at a hospital. I'd have to be there at 4:30 in the morning drawing blood. I'd wake people up and stick a needle in their arm. I'd be walking around the hospital, singing 'Addicted' in my head, writing down the lyrics on patients' clipboards and doctor script pads."

Null and Weeks bring in differing songwriting approaches influences, giving Saving Abel a well-rounded sound. Null comes from a musical family, and recalls Saturday nights at the local community center as a child. "We didn't miss it, ever! It was bluegrass band after bluegrass band. We'd hoot and holler, as we used to say. My brother traded my bike for a guitar for me when I was 6, and I learned 'Johnny B. Goode' that night! I go back to Willie and Waylon, but as a kid of the '80s, I also love Metallica. Also, Angus Young is one of my main influences, as well as the guitar sound and solos of Seattle bands like Soundgarden and Alice in Chains." For his part, a teenage Weeks played basketball and went to state twice in tennis before music consumed his life. A big fan of the blues and Southern Rock, Weeks calls himself the more "literal" songwriter of the two, explaining, "If something is really bothering me, or how I'm feeling at that moment, I'll write about it. For me to get the most out of a song, I have to get it almost to the point I'm ready to cry if I can't get it out, and that makes people relate to it."

After shopping their indie EP for almost a year, a copy of 'Addicted' found its way to one-time Virgin A&R Consultant Scott Frazier and manager partner Rick Smith. They were so excited that they sent the song to the label's Chairman/CEO Jason Flom. Flom was impressed upon first listen and immediately sent A&R vet Kim Stephens (Collective Soul, Matchbox 20, Edwin McCain) to see the band in Jackson, Tennessee. The band was signed the next day. Says Stephens, "I was sold on the merit of the songs and instantly recognized this was a band with huge potential."

Saving Abel, the Virgin debut produced by Mills, features mostly brand-new tunes, plus a few favorites from the indie EP, including the poignant, perfectly crafted "18 Days," "Running From You," and "Drowning Face Down." Null explains that "18 Days" was lyrically inspired by sheriff Buford Pusser of 'Walking Tall' fame, while laughingly admitting that the rowdy road trip in "New Tattoo" ("The blue is for the bruise you left in my heart / and the red is for the color we're about to paint this town") is "based on a true story." Null furthers: "Our goals are always to concentrate on the song, not just one cool part to make a kid bop his head. Every person I talk to loves a different song of ours." Null was also the one who gave the band its name: "I Googled the story of Cain and Abel and found a line about 'there was no Saving Abel,' which just jumped out at me." Everyone agreed and the name stuck... much like Saving Abel's songs get instantly stuck in the minds and ears of everyone who hears them. With a radio-ready sound combining big riffs and memorable melodies, Saving Abel has created a polished combination of Southern and Alternative rock... 2008 style. Get Addicted. Get Saving Abel.

ONE NIGHT STAND LIVE AT HARD ROCK MUMBAI ON THURSDAY 28TH JAN!!

One Night Stand was formed in May 2003 as a result of a chain mail sent by MTV looking out for professional rock musicians who could be part of a classic rock jam session for a particular event. An enthusiastic set of responses was followed by a quick short listing (by leader and vocalist Kartik Chintamani) and the rehearsals kicked off. The gig was well received with an overwhelming response. Aimed to be a One Night Stand in its true sense, the band had no intentions of doing anything together seriously. But after the gig everyone in the band realized the potential and decided to carry this effort forward. Since every member was already a professional musician and also had been part of earlier rock bands from various parts of the country, the sound was always tight and the vibes on stage were fantastic.

HURRICANE BELLS LIVE AT HARD ROCK DELHI ON FRIDAY, 29TH JANUARY!!

Hurricane bells used to hang from the tops of seaside trees, heavy bells designed to ring out only when a storm approached. Fittingly, Tonight Is The Ghost, the debut album from the band Hurricane Bells, is a moody affair. A mix of somber undercurrents and chiming guitars, the album is at once plaintive and triumphant, bathed in echo and reverb. Yet there’s a looseness, hope, and soulfulness in its melancholic tempest; a late night thundershower with a new day on its heels.

Hurricane Bells is a new project from Steve Schiltz, singer and guitarist of Longwave for nearly ten years. After touring the better part of last year around Longwave’s fourth album Secrets Are Sinister – a critical success and arguably the best of the band’s career – Schiltz set up shop to create a new project with little else than his MacBook and an Mbox. He wrote, played, recorded, and mixed every note himself, arranging what would become Tonight Is The Ghost. Some songs were fully crafted within the past 18 months, while others are newly architected from pieces written throughout his years as a songwriter.

Vagrant Records released Tonight Is The Ghost digitally on November 10, 2009. A b-side, “Monsters”, appears on the soundtrack of the second film of the Twilight franchise, New Moon.

CIRKLES PERFORMING LIVE AT HARD ROCK MUMBAI ON TUESDAY, 19TH JAN

Cirkles is the brainchild and a pet project of Teemeer Chimulkar (vocalist and lead guitarist of SCEPTRE, Mumbai’s almost decade old Rock band). The band was formed as a result of acoustic jams indoors and at house parties and terrace parties with Teemeer and his circle of friends where they would play acoustic guitars and play different songs from different genres of rock. Thats when friends suggested to take it more seriously and try doing more professional performances with the jamming zing intact. So Cirkles is an acoustic experimental rock band which covers music from a whole variety of genres and sub-genres of Rock and metal and tries to put their own touch in the songs.

The basic idea was also to bring heavy and thrash metal music to the masses and non-rock lovers.The band started performing with its launch gig at the Furtados counter at the Palm Expo in May 2007. Though the band has not started work on original material on a serious note yet, the talent of the band lies in h0w the band plays covers in thier own unique acoustic way including acoustic covers of thrash classics as Memory remains by Metallica and Tornado of souls by Megadeth to pop classic covers of Wicked game by Chris Isaak and Ordinary world by DuranDuran.
