lets get retarted

9.00pm 12th oct: ABANDONFRIDAY: Swarathma
The band that brings together the spirit of Indian folk, rock, western and carnatic classical and generates an energy that’s both positive and contagious. Swarathma’s songs are a celebration of the earth and rain, of love and life; a reflection of the beauty and the struggle, the simple joys and contradictions of the contemporary world.

this is how it all began ... what started as small singalongs and people dancing round an acoustic piano (in the small lounge area at opus) to dance nights under the stars, this couldn't-be-more-diametrically-opposite duo performed almost uninterrupted, every saturday night for almost a year. other musicians started jamming with them and eventually ousted them, so much so that they havent played together at opus for almost a year, despite of opus having 3 or more live gigs a week. arguably bangalore's most talented and most wanted keyboardist, and easily bangalore most deranged performer'for old times sake'

9pm, 13th oct : SATURDAY NIGHT FEVER Carlton & Karan
