Prayag rocked Jamshedpur (The Steel City)

Hi guys,
After a long time. Was busy with gigs and practice sessions with my bands.
Just to inform you guys. I have been playing gigs with my new band "Khiladi". You can check the songs on www.myspace.com/khiladi.
So I had a gig with Prayag after a long time. And it has to be big as always. This time it was a new experience to play in front of school kids on their school fest. They were not the regular studious school kids (They are studious but), but they had the talent of playing music along with performance of Bharat naatyam and other forms of dance. They were just brilliant on stage. They even had a 25 piece Acapella singing "Maa Tujhe Salaam" by A. R. Rahman.

The time when we just entered the venue, Naveen (Guitarist, Prayag) and me were totally feeling like outsiders coz the only people inside the auditorium that we could see were small 5th or 6th standard kids with their Moms. But the whole night was about music, performances from different students, and all the parents had especially come to watch their kids playing live music.

It was just great to be a part of that. Loyola school should be called Loyola music institute with so much interest taken right from the principal (who was sitting in front of the sits while the bands were performing) to the students and their parents.
Next up was Prayag on stage. And the response that we got from those school kids was simply great. They were the loudest crowd we have ever played in front of. They knew all the songs that we were about to play. And were singing along with us. And the best part was, they knew some of our originals. And even appreciated other originals.

Overall, an awesome experience for us. Just becoz we have the crowd filled with six year olds to sixty year olds enjoying our music.

Next up is Khiladi playing three different competition fest in Mumbai starting from today. First up, is Ruia college, Dadar, and then tomorrow at NJJBTB and then at IIT Powai on Friday.
