Rise up! Rise up!! SEPULNATION!!!

After what seemed like a wait that spanned all eternity, — considering the April 1 gig at MMRDA, Mumbai didn't come to fruition — here it was!

SEPULTURA IN BANGALORE!!!
November 3, 2007

This is not the detailed blow-by-blow account of the show, although that will be posted on a different blog soon and will be linked via this website. Worry not! This is more of a pictorial summary of the show and its periphery.

Firstly, how in God's name did I get there? See that bad boy on the right? That was my ticket into the show and into the absolute front, beyond the barrier and among the security guards, support band members, band crews and my arch nemesis-turned-nice guy of the tour there, Andre, as represented pictorially below. This was basically the go-to-guy for any and ALL matters pertaining to Sepultura.
So, this ends a large chunk of the written part of this account. Be assured that you haven't heard the last on this topic from me, for there are tons of stories, not just from the show, but from the two days in Bangalore, that must be told, stupid as they were.




For now though, enjoy ze photos!


Ominous clouds overhead. We're in for some rain, chaps!

Looks titillating! Must say, you are one lucky bastard to have held that press card. And to return home with that plectrum, truly blessed. Looking forward to your stories (which i am sure will continue to haunt us for many many days to come!).
