Music: Soulmate

There was this great band playing last week at Blue Frog called "Soul Mate". The band consists of blues-guitar player, songwriter and singer, Rudy Wallang and Vocalist Tipriti ‘TIPS’ Kharbangar who also plays rhythm guitar, Ferdy Dkhar on Bass Guitar and Sam Shullai on Drums. They all come from Shillong, Meghalaya.

Rudy was great on the Guitar and the Vocalist TIPS had great control on her voice and pitch. Great song selection as well, got the crowds into a night of Fun with good ol' live music, booze and friends!

Must catch this band when they in next. Way to go guys! Had a blast.

The Mighty Germans through to the Semis!

Germany kept their pre-torunament favourites tag alive with a facinating 3-2 victory over Portugal and booking their place in the semis.

Germany took a 2-0 lead from schweinsteiger and klose & were dominating the game till about 30 mins and looked very impressive. But their shaky back 4 gave in again and it was 2-1 through nuno gomes just before half time, leaving the 2nd half to be an entertaining one. Lahm and schweinsteiger particularly were looking impressive, as were the 2 keys to the germans - Ballack and Podolski.

And what a 2nd half and match it would turn out to be when ballack made it 3-1 and the portugese we from no angel about to call it quits. But it was little to late when postiga came on as a Sub and made it 3-2 in the last few mintues, but Germany held their nerve and won a great match against a great oppostion!

Some great football for display at the Euro '08 last night and we hope tonight's match as well - Croatia Vs Turkey! May the best team win!

Football: EURO 2008 AUSTRIA-SWITZERLAND

The EURO's are here FINALLY!!

After all that IPL Tamasha, the beautiful game is back with the UEFA EURO Championships '08 which are being held in Switzerland / Austria this year. The event that occurs every 4 years, the competition has 16 teams competing for the coveted title of European Champions.

GROUP A

1.) Switzerland

2.) Portugal

3.) Czech Republic

4.) Turkey

GROUP B

1.) Germany

2.) Poland

3.) Crotia

4.) Austria

GROUP C

1.) Holland

2.) France

3.) Italy

4.) Romania

GROUP D

1.) Russia

2.) Sweden

3.) Spain

4.) Greece

Greece did the impossible last year by beating all odds to win. Can they retain the title? (The odds are obv against them, but hey thats why Football - cos anything can happen!). Who will it be this year?

Will it be Capello's England? (ohhhhh sorry England suck ass and didnt even qualify!!! Well Capellos not to blame - only the players themselves are!) or will it be Guss Hiddink's Russians!

The money is there on the usual suspects like Holland, Italy, Germany, France, but Portugal are also a force to recon with this year with Ronaldo or CR7 in dazzling form! My personal choice would be a Germany Vs Holland final and Germany nicking it in Penalties. But hey in the end good football is what i'm in it for!

Music: Grand Pianoramax

For those who Love Live Music - this one was a must hear (well must see too!). I had not heard of them till a mate of mine told me "Crazy Band @ Blue Frog Tonigh, let's go ...". So i was like "O-rite bit*h, lets gö!". Thought if we got bored, we would leave and go else where, but that was soooooo not going to be the case that night.

Phuture Funk / spoken word / fusion / nu-jazz is the kinda Genre that you would classify Grand Pianoramax which had Leo Tardin from USA on the keyboard (You had to see how this guy played on keyboard. It was crazy), MC JP from Switzerland (Some wicked on-the-spot lyrics - meaningful and real) and Yoann from France on the drums (well orchestrated!).

Overall, was a mind blowing band. Would Love to see them again (if your listening Blue Frog - by popular demand - get em back!!!). YOU ROCK GUYS! KEEP IT UP!

P.S. Tried downloading some of their tracks that night itself but couldnt find them anywhere. Anyone have their CD's, puhleaseeeeeeeeee lemme know.
