IE07 Festival recap; UK Print E-mail
Tuesday, 11 September 2007

First off - thanks to everyone who performed at the London England installment of our Festival this year.... also, a warm thanks to everyone reading this who made it to the venue on August25th to check out all the great acts we had on stage - including the wonderful bespoke visuals mixed and projected by LadyPat and his compradres @microchunk. The gig proved quite different than when we did it @ the same space last year; this time round there were fewer performers and it was interesting to see what the crowd's reaction was to the more downtempo, innovative sets of Aesh and Eisha Karol - which featured live singing, visuals, tabla, sarod and more. Saturday night in London's East End is no doubt cause for booty shaking; and though they didn't number in the thousands, people were definately enjoying the eclectic uptempo cuts Sonny Ji (pictured here) and I were busting on the mainfloor... All round, an excellent time - thanks for hosting us again Bobby Friction!

Hot off the heels of our London gig its now off to the Big Apple - the Indian Electronica Festival touches base in New York City's Lower East Side next Thursday (September 20th) for a long night of musical mayhem that is going to totally rock your bindi. Details are over in our festival section but note that the event is free and will be followed by a CD release/listening party @ the Rubin Museum the next night - on Friday from 6PM - 10PM; which will be an excellent opportunity to personally meet the performers and also pick up a copy of our debut compilation release.

So, there are two great gigs lined up for next week - if you're on the East Coast of North America I highly recommend coming down to Manhattan and joining in the fun! Whether you can or can't make it, please help us spread the word: forward this email to your friends and colleagues ;)

Oh, and they're not too numerous but I've uploaded some photos I took @the Festival in London - check em out in the gallery.

q./
