what not to do in a band: September 2010
http://dronesfromtheturbine.blogspot.com/2010_09_01_archive.html
Thursday, September 16, 2010. In a moment that belongs to you,. A memory will be born,. One that will take you forward,. With no regret or remorse. Death will be a guest,. When the rains would come. They take away the lights. Only to give your pyre more burn". Death was least expected on that day. But, while we just about finished playing "Chaos Theory" at the big mushroom cloud festival, i looked up to see the crowd going helter-skelter and wondered, "wow! The Oresund Space Collective. Other gigs are co...

what not to do in a band: September 2011
http://dronesfromtheturbine.blogspot.com/2011_09_01_archive.html
Tuesday, September 6, 2011. Its been a great 2 years of playing shows and its been a bad year of trying to put things on a record. With jobs, mindsets and unimportance taking over our individual lives, somethings gotta take a back seat. So in this god forsaken, trying-to-be-something music scene of ours, its quite easy for a band like ours to take a fall. And so it has. I don't see how it matters but in simple words, the Drones from the Turbine is no more. Thank you for being at the gigs you were at.

what not to do in a band: May 2010
http://dronesfromtheturbine.blogspot.com/2010_05_01_archive.html
Thursday, May 20, 2010. A year to celebrate. To start with, we treated ourselves and our very eager drummer to a not-so-shiny drum kit. We've all waited for toys that we've always wanted and our kul-mute(in kannada = little gunnybag) has waited a real long time for this but its finally here. We're also back to our birthplace, the "room" in canara bank layout and we won't tell how good it feels. Lastly, for those who've asked enough and are bugged, we will go into recording soon. This is probably one ...

what not to do in a band: January 2010
http://dronesfromtheturbine.blogspot.com/2010_01_01_archive.html
Thursday, January 21, 2010. To the start of a new year. After a grinding halt to our gigging spree in December, we're finally back. December was a month we had to take off, stop the music and turn off the lights. But it was a crazy month after all. With the onslaught of VTU exams, final year project submissions, jobs and BFA classes we hardly had time to tune guitars. The days have rolled on as we approach our first real stage of 2010 tomorrow(22nd January) at Unwind Center. For the first time we sha...

what not to do in a band: October 2009
http://dronesfromtheturbine.blogspot.com/2009_10_01_archive.html
Thursday, October 15, 2009. Mr Bee, a musician who plays for Teddy Boy Kill. Recently quoted that "artists, musicians etc., comprise less than 1% of the Indian population." and I agree with him. Miss Blah, a singer with the band Tempo Tantrick. Says "we're all wannabes". I agree with her as well. Mr Dasgupta, Bass player for Swarathma. Suggests modestly that "you won't be treated as a professional band unless you behave like one". I agree with him as well. And usually uses this ability to earn a living.

what not to do in a band: The Indian Music Disaster.
http://dronesfromtheturbine.blogspot.com/2010/11/indian-music-disaster.html
Thursday, November 25, 2010. The Indian Music Disaster. Hum Goa mein hain aur koi bhi chemical try nahin kiya hai. Ganja bhi nahin mila! A statement i overheard on the beach. What ensues is a lot of drinking and then the lets-ask-random-people-for-stash. Very rich. But there are largely undiscovered parts of Goa that calm the nerves of peace-trippers and keeps the local bikini-brigade far away at the commercial beaches(rather giant-pubs). Once we were done, we all unloaded our frustration with a few beer...

what not to do in a band: Introducing the Turbine....briefly.
http://dronesfromtheturbine.blogspot.com/2010/03/constant-blur.html
Thursday, March 4, 2010. Introducing the Turbine.briefly. The past few months have been a blur. Not just because of all the hallucinogens but with the number of shows and the kind of response we've been getting. We've not said no to any gig, except for the ones at malls or the "battle of the bands". We weren't at NITK for the same reason. So what have we been up to? At anyone who passed by. A smoke on beach road. We met up Pk's parents for more drinks and eventually lunch. When we got to the Beach Road w...
