Paul's Albums with Iron Maiden
Infos for Rock Bands from Manipur Still Waters - from Gangtok became the First Indian Band from North East India to launch an album Online. http://www.stillwatersonline.tk/ The album is a re-release of their debut album Such A Long Time - an album(on tape then) that got sold out within few days of it’s release in 2002. Are our Manipuri Rockers back home listening ?? Check out http://radioverve.com/. RadioVeRVe is an internet radio station which focuses on promoting Indian Independent/Indie music. The threesome of Kaustubh Srikanth, Gaurav Vaz and Shreyas Srinivasan pool their talents together and create a one-of-its-kind venture, India's first Internet radio station dedicated wholly to independent Indian music. "For example there is the band called Avial which plays only Malayalam rock music. Then there are some great bands from Shillong and the rest of the North East. It's like that old story about building the railways. At first, when people hear that the government wants to build a railway they wait by the site, but no work starts. They get frustrated and leave. Then the government comes in to see if the area needs a railway, but doesn't find any people around. So it doesn't build a railway," Shreyas philosophises. The problem, adds Kaustubh, is that even though a lot of talent is present throughout the country, much of it is usually isolated as there has been no collaborative effort to bring it all together. "That's what we're trying to do." What is also interesting about Radio Verve is that it is built entirely on free and open source software, taking forward the idea of a community-driven project.
