The works

July 8, 2008

"The works", a Mumbai band just under a year old, gave a solid performance at the venue mentioned (Fun Republic Mall, Andheri W). The place was good, a restro-bar themed like a European inn.

The performance was energetic, and the band is tight. Their song selection could improve, though. They played what a 80's jukebox would. Agreed, they were catering to a non-musical crowd, but they could definetly move beyond the standard stuff. The band is fronted by Mihir (a "musicman"), someone who keeps himself (and the audience) on their feet, and moved around the venue among the crowd with ease. The lead guitarist is good, and didn't go overboard with his stage act. The show started an hour behind schedule and ended at 12.

Anxiety started to build up as i reached the station only at 12:40, thanks to the lax bus services at that time (cant blame them) and took the 12:50 to Dadar. By the time i reached there, my worst fears had come true. The central line had shut down for the night. To cut a long story short, after using all the survival instincts at my disposal, i trooped home at 3 am. Not a bad night's work.
