Perpetual war, civilisation dissonance and an individual’s confusion within it? Of course we tried to make sense of it by writing a song. ‘So Far Gone’ is one of the heaviest hitting moments in our catalogue, because it needs to be 🏜️⚔️ - Catch our entire show at the @g5afoundation , where we played a host of unreleased and work-in-progress tracks (as well as the classics) on their YouTube channel. - Big love to the entire team at the G5A.

🚨SARAS COMMUNITY DAY, MUMBAI Community Day is a space created for artists, managers, students, and the wider music community to come together to learn, share knowledge, and spend time with one another beyond performances and shows. The idea for Community Day was sparked by a conversation with @viveick around artists’ rights and access to information, and grew into a broader intention to create spaces for dialogue, learning, and collective growth within the music ecosystem. The day brings together workshops, conversations followed by dinner and a jam session. 🗓 Tuesday, Tomorrow, 10th February 📍 @bonobobandra 🕑 2:00 PM onwards Programme: • 3:00 – 4:00 PM - Krantinaari: Sound of Women • 4:00 – 5:30 PM - Alexander Flood & band: Live band workshop • 6:00 – 7:30 PM - Viveick Rajagopalan: Negotiating your “rights” in the music business • 8:30 PM onwards - Dinner & jam session 🎟 Pay What You Want (artist contribution) This is about access, not gatekeeping. Community Day is part of the @alexander_flood India Tour and the first edition of an ongoing initiative by Saras Co., created to foster learning, access, and community-building. Supported by @drum.house , @somegoodgigs , and Bonobo. Registration link in our bios

Drummer, drum instructor and game enthusiast @karunk joins me for Episode 4 of the @lostinthought_pod In this episode, we talk about the 2007 sci-fi film ‘The Man from Earth’, which you’re likely to have seen if you’re a millennial who can neither confirm nor deny that they watched a lot of pirated movies back in the day 👀 The link to the video is in the bio. If you enjoy this episode, please like / share / subscribe / comment / troll. Thank you and may you live a long life. A really, really, really long life. 👴🏼👵🏼

We’re still reeling from our experience at @independencerock ! An amazing festival that was about the music first (and not just the mela). Big ups to the curators that gave the crowd what they wanted with the legacy bands but also, importantly, supported new bands from diverse genres within independent rock in the country. More of this please! For the peeps that showed up, we were so stoked at how supportive and attentive you were. Big love from all of us at Long Distances, we felt your energy on stage. Come along with us on this long journey from indie music band to advanced level t-shirt salesman (iykyk 😆). Big love to our crew: @sachiniyer2 on visuals @akashsawant on sound @mikig2 for the amazing pictures @francisxfernandes for the special massages @alricfphotography and @apurvaa_jadhav for their work on the videos (coming soon!) For supporting independent rock many, many thanks to: @hyperlink.brandsolutions @mahindrarise @jawamotorcycles @yezdiforever @bsamotorcyclesofficial Where can we play next? #independencerock #mahindraindependencerock #indierock #livemusic #fenderguitars #singers #shoegaze #postpunk #dreampop
