From those days, they have grown into a much nicer and better band and are on their way to developing a unique style for themselves. Their album is a collation of street art from around India especially on the backs of Lorrys! So it was just fitting that the poster outside Opus where they launched had these cheezy serial lights to give it a very rural dhaba feel :p

Lets get the announcement out of the way – The Brand New RadioVeRVe is Up and Running! – http://radioverve.com

About 4 years ago, Shreyas and I started out with a little experiment that eventually became (cutting a long story short) RadioVeRVe. Today I proudly announce the latest version of the site which we have been working on frankly for too long! Its time to let this one out of the bag and add to it everything we want it to become! And it is meant to become something special!

The past year has been very slow for RadioVeRVe and a lot of “real life” and “career” caught up with it and I haven’t given it enough time or nurtured it as much as I could have and should have. But it was a project too close to my heart to just let slip away!

What you see on RadioVeRVe today is the start of something that we have planned and as the weeks pass, you will see a LOT more stuff being released and announced there. So keep your eyes on the site and more importantly, your ears glued to it!

This site would not have been possible without the help of a LOT of our friends who put their time and money behind it, just because they liked the idea, or even at times, just felt bad for us! I would like to thank all of them for the help – Especially Jonathan, Praveen, Shilpa and Arjun. You guys made this happen! Thanks

The band launched its album and the press went crazy and everything was moving in fast forward motion like there was no tomorrow .. Things have settled down a bit but not for long .. the album hits music stores across the country this weekend and from then on .. all hell breaks loose! A few people who did go online and order the album have been raving about it and have only good things to say so we are quite expectant for the mass verdict!

But this is about a little group of friends who traveled from far and wide and came to witness the launch of the album. At the very last minute, I called a bunch of close friends and invited them for the launch and quite a few of them turned up and the rest of them were present in spirit which made the launch one of the most memorable days in my life!

Its not everyday that one gets to launch a music album worldwide and be featured on national TV etc .. and when that day and that moment comes, you want everyone you love to be there … well as many as can possibly make it atleast …

A bunch of my friends could and did! and after the brilliant launch, we went to this wonderful place in Bandra called ‘The Hawaiian Shack’ and partied till they allowed us to! It was the most fun I have had in a long time and is something which won’t go out of my mind any time soon ..

Thanks all you guys!! you made it special for me!

Do read Shilpa’s take on the launch and the party on her brand new blog which is a super read!! (oh well … so I am shamelessly promoting … so what?!?)
