Grey Matter

Nada Nada Nada is the new anthem of a few rock fans.This is a song from a malayalam rock band called Avial.I have heard these songs some pretty long back.But it is now that the band is finally releasing their eponymous debut album called Avial.

Avial is, by the way, a food dish which is a mixture of many vegetables and coconut.

The other band that i have been hearing to long enough now is junkyard groove.This band is from chennai.They have a song called folk you where the singer goes thanthana thane thanthana thane.Its a folksy catchy song.

These rock bands not only capture the local musical flavour but also the poets.Recently i caught glimpse of Raghu Dixit project.Their popular Hey Bhagwan is a reggae style song.Gudgudiya is written by Sant Shishunala who they say to be Kabir of Karnataka.

The first time i listened to somebody make contemporary song out of famous poet/song was when Susheela Raman played in chennai some years back.She sang a few songs which are normally sung in carnatic fashion.

And finally anybody for a TR tribute band? Dandanakka,danakkunakka.
