Past Music

Filed under: music — vik @ 1:38 pm
I’ve been a part of several music bands in the past, called ‘Sugar Payload’ etc. The last band I was part of was the ‘bodhitree’, the band at XLRI.

Sugar Payload was Manish Kapoor (strings), Aditya Jassi (vocals), Venu (fat strings), Joel (sticks) and Divya (vocals). I have to include Lalit ‘Narad’ as a guest performer in various capacities.

bodhitree recorded two songs that I played on: xl meri jaan and xl ki kudiyan.

bodhitree (2005) was Joshua (chords), Avartan Bokil (sticks), Rajhesh (fat/strings). We also had Gaurav Pande and Anant Garg crooning for us.

I was on lead guitar for both bands.

My juniors in bodhitree later recorded some more awesome songs that can be found here with their profile: RSJonline.com

An older site for these songs used to be : http://xlkikudiyan.blogspot.com/

Here is some stuff I recorded randomly over time. If any of them sound like a song you’ve heard, then they’re either attempts of that song or recorded right after I heard that song :-)
