Biography:
LITTLE BABOOSHKA'S GRIND:
THE ORIGINAL BAD CHILDREN
LBG have been around for about 6 years and is one of the pioneers of performing original music in Chennai.
What is 'Babooskha'?
A Babooshka (Matryoshka) is a Russian nesting doll. A set of Matryoshka dolls consists of a wooden figure which can be pulled apart to reveal another figure of the same sort inside. It has in turn another figure inside, and so on. The number of nested figures is usually six or more....
What is LBG about?
5 Men who create and weave magic- Now after years of extensive hard work, innumerable shows, intense practice sessions, rock hard determination and suffering fools, LBG has reached a point where you just cant not notice. Having released their debut album, "This Animal is called the Wallet", the band realizes that spreading music means spreading the true message.
"We don't care if people can't accept our music because it doesn't sound like growling dogs banging your head with a ratchet or a cover that you can listen to from your mp3 collection"
Love uz, hate uz: we will not let you ignore uz!" - LBG
What you can expect at an LBG show?
Lots of high energy tunes complimented by an equally high energy performance. No talk of Satan, or death and destruction, we have enough of that in this world. This is music that has its own character matched by our in-your-face attitude of not perpetuating the lie that original music won't get you anywhere.
"Write your own song"
Not playing covers- How we view it and how we can overcome this?
LBG understands that this has kept them away from bigger shows and bigger things, "but how long are we going to play other people's songs to prove that we are worthy? Who is the better band - Grateful Dead or Dream Theatre? Whose to judge?" says Arjun
" It just depends on the music you like and since there are not that many recognised "eclectic" rock platforms in the country the journey is that much harder, but the rock audience are becoming more and more open and that gives us the passion to rock on!!" - says Aum
BAND INITIATIVES:
LBG believe that most bands out here in India really need to promote themselves as there aren't any music record labels supporting rock bands like in the West. It's the Bands' initiative & passion that makes things happen and keeps things going by trying new approaches with sheer enthusiasm. LBG are a serious band and hope to make it internationally one day.
'BASICS OF LIFE ' MUSIC VIDEO
For the release of their second album, They mustered up enough money to produce their first Video 'Basics of Life' to promote the album in a revolutionary way.
With a 90% complete edit in place, the band plans on taking the video to an online video platform and complete post productions as per international standards as well as get substantial Air time & support from the Music Channels.
The Rising South
The Rising South is a string of live performances that LBG has been/ will be organizing in and around Chennai originally started as a part of the band's tsunami relief and now taking on a higher purpose to promote original music and original bands.
The Rising South concept essentially revolves around the idea of promoting meritorious original music and musicians distributed over South India. In the past a score of promo events had been organized in and around the city of Chennai and the concept is now ready to be taken on board a higher platform.
In keeping with recent trends among musicians and the mass audience represented by the ever increasing fan base for original Indian rock music, the Rising South provides the perfect dais for bringing excellent original music into the foreground and at the same time serve as a distinctive arena for sending out messages to the vast target audience which essentially consists of Indian youth between the ages of 18 and 30.
MMU COMMUNICATIONS
LBG is being backed by a professional Advertising Agency in Chennai called "MMU COMMUNICATIONS" which provides assistance in all promotional activities (PR, Hoardings, Poster Design, E-mailers, SMS Messaging, Newspapers Ads)for all our shows. We believe that it's not just enough for a band to just come, play and then F@#k off... It's a joint effort with the organizer to make sure that as many people come and watch the band performing. MMU communications also has an Events Division and is planning on starting a Record Label with the aim to reach music to the masses through all Major Music Stores in India.
