SIGUR ROS




Sigur Rós ( ['sɪːɣʏr rouːs]) are an Icelandic post-rock band with melodic, classical and minimalist elements. The band is known for its ethereal sound and lead singer Jónsi Birgisson's falsetto voice.

Jón Þór (Jónsi) Birgisson (guitar and vocals), Georg Hólm (bass) and Ágúst Ævar Gunnarsson (drums) formed the group in Reykjavík in August 1994.[1] Their name is taken from Jónsi's younger sister Sigurrós (which when translated into English means 'Victory Rose'), who was born the same day as the band was formed

BLOOD VAN





bloody thirsty
mutants creeping into the van

knitting the shelters skin
laws of violence are broken
swallows the cannibal
the flesh of all

van is in jeopardy
no one shows any dignity
scathed through the butchers knife
heart pumped out of gas
but i just want to drive the blood van
i want to lay my hands on the bloody wheels

terror reaches a new crescendo
there's no faith in people
brandishing my arms for love
vanishing all evil souls

blood freaks me
blood streams my anger
there's all blood
filled is the van with this
venomous serpentile blood

but i just want to drive the blood van
i want to lay my hands on the bloody wheels

DANNY CAREY






Danny began playing drums at the age of thirteen.Drummer of progressive rock band TOOl.

Carey's popularity among drummers and non-drummers alike stems from the diversity of his sound and dynamics, his technical ability, frequent use of odd time signatures, polyrhythms and polymeters. He has stated in interviews that he effectively treats his feet as he does his hands: he practices rudiments (used for sticking techniques) and even snare drum solos with his feet to improve his double bass drumming, hi-hat control and foot independence.

In search of new techniques, Carey has studied tabla with Aloke Dutta, who can be heard playing on the live version of the song Pushit (from Salival). This is especially apparent on tracks such as "Disposition" (Lateralus) or "Intension" (10,000 Days), for which Carey has recorded the tabla parts himself in studio. The tabla (and other percussive instruments) used in Tool's music are replicated live using the Mandala pads (in fact the pads are also used when recording in the studio, a notable example being the tabla solo of "Right in Two" from 10,000 Days).

He has also stated that when he is playing to an odd time signature, he tries to drum to the "feel" of the song and establish general "inner pulse" for the given time signature instead of fully counting it out.

SONAM SHERPA-lead guitarist of indian band PARIKRAMA


Sonam Sherpa appeared as INDIA's future great guitarists in 'ROLLING STONES' MAGAZINE's 1st edition in INDIA.

Playing guitars since he was 9. The harp came only at around 15. Specialises in the Blues, Snores (no connection!) and some amazing slide work using a 9volt discard - both alkaline and dry, steel/brass/tin locks, broken glasses/bottles and a lot many more things BUT for his prized $20 SLIDE which he ever so slothfully presumes lost. And that shows in his size. He has played in many bands earlier, in hometown Kalimpong and in Darjeeling. But he saw his first EFFECTS pedal (read - distortion unit) in Delhi at around 21 something. Currently uses a Epiphone Les Paul guitar, sleeps over a Fender Mustang.
