A little bit about the artists: Ravi Iyer – He is considered to be one of the best guitar players in the country, a veteran at his craft Ravi has been wielding his axe with his band Vayu as well as in his solo ventures. Ravi recently released a solo album titled ‘Rocking Raga’s’ where he has successfully blended eastern and western music. Also a guitar teacher all his students swear by his phenomenal skills. He will be covering in detail all aspects of the PRS guitars in his workshop as well as showcasing some of his own music and teaching us a few tricks of the trade. Old Monks – One of the younger Mumbai bands keeping the classic rock flame alive. With their brilliant renditions of classics from legendary bands like Led Zepplin, The Who and Lynrd Skynrd they bring back the good old days of Rock and Roll, but apart from paying tribute to their hero’s these guys write some brilliant music of their own. Their songs like ‘Mujhe Daru Cahiye’ and ‘Rock and then Roll’ are a treat for classic rock lovers. Their demo CD will also be on sale at Furtados on the 27th. Groovelab – The trio of Ashu (Guitars/Vocals), Melroy (Bass), and Sapna (Drums) make up the new and improved Groovelab. These guys (and girl) no strangers to the rock-circuit, having played in bands like Xenon, Naked Earth, Panic Attack, and The Real Thing. The band plays aggressive funk-rock mixed with progressive elements and complex and hard-hitting bass grooves. Groovelab is inspired by the music of Primus, RHCP, Incubus, Porcupine Tree, RATM, Oysterhead, Toto, Spin Doctors, Larry Graham, Tower of Power, and Bjork, among others. So be there on the 27th of October, 6pm sharp at Furtados Music to experience and enjoy our PRS Guitar Night.
