LBG 'Casio G Shock Rocks' @ LOR, Bangalore!!

After a week break, LBG were back to 'ROCK' Bangalore AT LOR. LOR a.k.a 'Legends Of Rock' is a three story Rock pub at Koramangala which also had LCD plasma screens (Like 'Le Rock') playing only rock videos. It also had a surveillance camera that showed LBG performing at 2 levels It was the same week-end Deep Purple were performing, so the place was packed!! …The energy really burst out when LBG hit stage with the 'Debated' drumroll of 'We wont fall Down' and played a power packed 1 hour show. Same set list as before only this time they started with 2 songs from their first album namely Wrong & Revolution. Lots of Albums sold, with the fans wanting their autographs( some even hoping to sell for millions in the future!!LOL)

After party at Prathap's Place… It was a typical 'Lotsa Booze & G' party. The women were steaming and the babies were sleeping(well atleast they were trying to)!! heh heh

December 1st
LBG ROX 'Yamaha Roxx' @ Le Rock, Bangalore!!

After showing the video & the album to club owner, Ashish Kothari ( LOR & Le rock) things just got better for the band as they got thier first break to play at Bangalore. Arriving in the morning, the band headed straight for the venue to be amazed by the kind of place it was!!

At Le Rock there are only plasma screens playing DVD rock videos all day(awesome concept!! \m/). The best part was that everyone seemed to know who they were especially the waiters who had seen the 'Basics of Life' video so many times ::lol:: Gig went off fairly well.... few sound hitches, but by mid way through the set, the band really rocked the crowd as it ended with 'Basics of life' followed by the video. The surprising part was when the crowd asked for an encore, that too only prepared with a 11 song set. A request for 'Codiene' from their first album was obliged and the night ended with a Bang!!(heh heh no pun intented)

Fete de la Musique Alliance Francais, Chennai

This show was really LBG at it's best any one had ever seen. Months of practice for the recording of thier upcoming album "Bad Children" really paid off!! Lots of young, old and foriegn crowd were really enjoying themselves. In the middle of their set there was a request from a fan asking for 'Shannigan'. It was a refreshing change for the band since they had'nt played it for over year. Show was non ticketed and had an overwealming response. The band threw away albums and some one actually came backstage to get Aum's plectrum.

Power Rock Alliance Francais, Pondicherry

Lbg re-visit Pondicherry to perform along side Black Earth (bangalore)!! Organised by Soungarden Events, which was the first of their many shows to come. Show started with Black Earth around 7:30 and did a great job pepping the crowd up for the following the next act. LBG got on stage at around 8:30 and had a tough time for the first 5 songs due to technical difficulties and 'slight' intoxication (It was Pondy after all!!). but that was all forgotten after LBG started 'Money' which had the crowd dancing and singing along for the next 7 songs. LBG thanks Joe & Tapan for a show well organised and for their great hospitality.
