The
evening started out with Chennai’s own Substance rocking the crowd. There was a
surprise in store for the crowd when the lead singer of Null Friction, Shreyans
went on stage and took the evening by storm along with Substance. If the crowd
liked Substance, they simply loved Blind Image, a thrash metal band, again from
Chennai. The energy produced by Blind Image on stage was reproduced among the
crowd. Lead guitarist, Prashant aka DeMattio was the darling of the crowd in
the evening.
The
other bands lined up for the evening were Blood and Iron, Lounge Piranha,
Native Tongue, Rampazze, Seven Days. It was heart warming to see such a
Rock-Loving crowd in Chennai. If this trend continues, days are not far off
when the tradition of head bangers needing to visit Bangalore to see an
international band play is reversed!
Also,
the talent of Indian bands is enormous. With bands sprouting in all corners of
the country, a rock out will soon be required in every month! This is infact a
nice initiative by june_rock_out_2008 Center. Also what stood at the front is
the initiative by june_rock_out_2008 Center to promote rock in the country
without the usual negatives associated with Rock culture viz., alcohol, drugs
and sex.
Since,
pictures speak better than words, I leave you with a gallery of the evening. If
you weren’t there for day 1, its not too late. Rush to Landmark, Fruitshops or
june_rock_out_2008 Centers and get yourself a pass.
