Born to be wild

On April 9th, 2009, me and my boys (Sujith and Prashanth) decided to hit Hard Rock Cafe after work. The plan to get wasted on good ol' rock and get drowned in brew. Hard Rock Bangalore is one of the most trippy and awesome joints in town - if anyone's visiting Bangalore, or if you haven't been here yet, visit!!! HRC never disappoints.

What was really awesome this time around was that there was a live band performing. The name of the band is "Low Level Flight". They're a canadian band and I will definitely recommend that you give them a listen. We had no idea that a band was playing and we were just rocking along to their excellent music. The vibes were awesome, the crowd was cool, the band was belting out some good ol' original Rock and yours truly was well on his way to getting wasted.

Then the band took a break and we went up to the Bass Guitarist to get some more info on the band. The Bass Guitarist was Ryan, and he was the nicest rocker you could imagine man!!! Dude was all happy to be touring India (Bangalore and Pune being the highlights of his tour so far). During the course of our conversation, we exchanged mementos - I gave him the Afghani scarf you see around his neck and he gave me his Guitar Strap.

Then the band went back to playing some more numbers for the crowd (which consisted of these interesting chicks from Amsterdam and this bevy of Lebanese ladies, who were keeping the crowd split between them and the band). When the band finished playing they met up with us again. This time, we got the band into my car and all of us went to the opening of this new club on McGrath road called "Geist". Another club that I'm gonna recommend, however it did look a bit pricey.

Unfortunately our new friends had a 2 am flight back to Canada - but the whole experience of hanging out with true musicians and more importantly, rockers, gave me a whole new perspective on life. These guys have fun...bottom line. They love making music, they totally dig performing, they appreciate the fans, the touring rocks etc.

And thats why they're good at it. They do it cuz they love it. How about you? Are you doing what you love?
