the military MA
okay I didn’t expect that so the for the
set of people who didn’t quite
understand that that actually translates
to do you guys understand Tamil I said
this to a guy when I was in Delhi and he
replied back by saying Tamil Terry ma
Punjabi terra baap well that being said
I’m here to share my journey with music
so far I was introduced to music by my
father he got me into western music we
had a house full of when I record we had
cassettes CDs and I somehow developed a
liking for western music yet another
inspiration was my grandmother she was a
Hindustani and a Carnatic music teacher
my father had a transferable job so
every two years we kept shuffling but
between different set of cities at the
age of ten I’d like to tell you the
story that happened so I was in Kolkata
and I like this Bengali girl you guys
must have understood that I am South
Indian so I decided to learn Bengali at
4 a.m. every morning I had this tutor
who used to come home and teach me
Bengali it took me nearly one year to
learn the language and when I was a bit
about to confess my liking for her my
father tells me we’re leaving to
that was that was a heartbreak indeed it
was it was not the first time I’ve been
in six different cities learn six other
languages cultures music and when it
came to girlfriends my count was zero so
you guys must be wondering what types
Arden Blues is South Indians in the
house give me a cheer okay for the other
set of people type Sodom is God rice or
the Habad so we came up with this name
when my other two co-founders will be
joining us today
sundar is in here Bharat and sundar we
decided to do this at an open mic at
this place called lost the plot the MC
gave us three minutes and put us on the
spot and asked us to come up with a band
name we tried to figure out what was
common among the three of us which was
we loved type Sodom we added a musical
to it because we had saxophone
we got a sexy guy who’s coming down so
it became thigh Sodom blues and that
first opened mic we sounded terrible as
a band together but this always is one
guy right who comes to you and he he
says like you guys sound an amazing man
do we though he sounded really bad and
he gave us this open offer which was to
play at a wedding in Lonavala and we
were quite stoked by what he said we
didn’t quite expect that we didn’t see
that coming but there was a catch to it
the catch was every other musician in
Pune had turned down that offer for the
simple reason being we had to dress up
like table waiters and play music for an
audience out there we we had a different
perspective to it because we loved
opportunities coming our way and we are
unique so we thought let’s give it a
shot and somehow it turned out to be a
blast we had a lot of fun we could see
people dance of their feet and we could
see them dance on tables that’s how much
fun it was apart from music
I’m also a software developer I’m an ASP
developer so I developed this algorithm
when it comes to it’s called my passion
algorithm so there are three things that
you need to know what you need to do
what you really like be the best at it
and make sure that people value it which
is the most important thing about
passion so tie certain blues has had
people has has had over over 20
musicians over the city who’ve come down
and been part of this wonderful journey
and we follow multiple set of passions
like some of them are music teachers and
Zion Matthew who’s gonna be joining
today he led the church choir at the age
of eight and he’s he’s a prodigy and an
amazing keyboard player and type
southern blues is known for how unique
it is the experimental music that we do
the sounds the genres the languages
which have which have made us a class
apart from the other set of bands here I
also like to tell people that be
practical at whatever you do back in
school I used to be a sack racing
champion you’ve seen sack races you take
a sack you put it on and you hop no one
really give a damn about it I really
wish we got to the Olympics
without any further ado I’d like to
introduce my band today ty southern
