The Chronic Blues Circus


The Chronic Blues Circus, from Bangalore, are a blues band (fucking SURPRISE!!). They're one of the few bands in India who play authentic Blues, going so far as to featuring a real Harmonica in their music, so you know they ain't messing around. They've been around for more than 20 years, so they're kind of outside the scope of this blog (considering I deal in upcoming underground bands), but since they were surprised when my party shouted for Restless Woman (Exact reaction: "What did you say?? How do you know that song?!", I think, at least in their mind, they're obscure enough to qualify.

Franks Got The Funk

Finally. This is the word I've been feeling for the past three days. I've wanted to write this blog post for ten months now. And I finally get the chance, cause they just simply hadn't released their album till now. Franks Got The Funk (Henceforth "FGTF") are a funk rock band from Madras, who got second place at SF'10. Their debut album "+he Nex+ Level" is out, and three (now four) tracks are up for streaming. And well, it's awesome.
