Phenom @ MCC

Things have finally come full circle!

4 years ago, we spent one saturday morning in the jam room of our college adding our final touches to version one of 'Coloured for this world'. Only the first verse had lyrics and the others din't even know what that was! They din't find out what the song meant for 2 years after that either ... but that is a different story!

This was the first original song that Phenom ever composed as band. And that because we were compelled by Mount Carmel College to do so. Their competition had a rule saying one original composition was compulsory.

From there, we have seen about 3,500 downloads of our original music and much more shared from our website and are on our way (hopefully ;)) to making a full length album.

Today I got a call from MCC asking if Phenom can play as the headlining act at Cul-Ah '06, where we first began as a band !! And trust me, if you know us well enough ... there really can't be too many things that can keep us from playing at MCC as the headlining band! and the very few issues that could arise are being sorted too !! :D

So Phenom's next gig is at Mount Carmel College's Cul-Ah '06. We should be playing at around 4.30 in the evening. I don't know what the entry procedure is... I shall find that out and post an update.

This gonna be loads of fun!

PS: if you are interested in watching us at MCC, please reply to this post or send me mail at gaurav (at) wearephenom (dot) com or the band at phenom (at) wearephenom (dot) com.

Your phone sucks, dude :P

Here's the message, after electronic enhancement:

You better play some new songs, and not just prog but also rock'n'roll. And what about little step - are you ever going to play that again? Get some signal strength, guys, the SNR is dropping! :)

"He moved, he actually moved! Ladies, that statue in the corner there behind the keyboard that just moved an eyelid and two fingers - that's Jnaneshwar Das!"

"He moved again! Friends, this is a PHENOMenal moment! JD actually moved twice on stage - during the same show!"

"...and finally - that statue that you see being carried off stage by our roadies now using a forklift - that is actually our life-size MIDI machine, carved from a single block of rosewood: JD!"

Hint, hint. To get noticed, you need to MOVE IT MOVE IT!
