To trace the facts and incidences that led to STILL WATERS origin, one would
have to go back all the way to some time in July-Aug' 2001.
The NIIT's branch in Gangtok. Strangers till then, Suman (bass) and Ananth(vox)
came across each other as batchmates. Routine introductory blah-blahs shed light
on their musical backgrounds. But both were itching to hammer some serious rock
n' roll into an almost dead band scenario in Gangtok, their hometown. So all
they needed was a small spark from somewhere.
And at this crucial point if time, in walks Sonam(lead guitars), Suman's former
bandmate and childhood buddy sharing a parallel rock n' roll history with him.
After a few casual jam sessions, the most prominent fact that came to light
was, with tonnes of cover-bands and concerts making up their past, what each
one wanted was to try stepping into a totally new and unfamiliar terrain of
making some good ORIGINAL music together. The song was "Farsighted Woman"
and it got some real good reviews and personal reaction(s) from all who heard
it. The birth of a whole new full-fledged rock entity was inevitable. And with
the recruiting of ol' buddies n' bandmates Netra and Sameer, on drums and rhythm
guitars respectively, Still waters was born. One small stint on stage at a local
fest and another recording session later, the BIG BIG breakthrough came in the
form of their song "Happy Go Lucky" being selected for RSJ's
Great Indian Rock fest' (GIR-VI ) in Feb'2002.
Currently, 'Still Waters' is alive, kickin' and givin' more heavy-duty
assault to their fans all around. All is good n' some great hard rock's being
churned out from another one of India's best crusarders fighting for what is
now known as the Great Indian Rock Revolution! |
