Unplugged Session at Omni Lounge Darjeeling

UNPLUGGED SESSION
with
Moderately LOUD


This weekend we are trying out a new band "Moderately LOUD" featuring Vivek and Jonah, both on acoustic guitars. The idea is to encourage guys to perform acoustic versions of popular songs instead of the usual electric sound and yes, basically have loads of fun! If we get our lyrics right then Suraj and I will also be joining the band wagon this Saturday and Sunday. All are welcome to join the session.

GSM Trio Jam and GAP Students' Party at Omni Darjeeling





Last Saturday Omni Lounge was invaded by GAP students from UK and Australia. They usually come over to Omni in the weekends from their respective communities where they do voluntary services. But last Saturday they all landed up at Omni as it was also some sort of farewell party for most of them. They are going back home.

The "GSM Trio" featuringGopal, Smriti & Mingma gave a powerful performance and we even had two of the GAP students singing with the band. Benoy was also invited to sing one of his originals and he was good! Will add more pic later...

Acoustic Sessions at Omni Lounge with The GSM Trio

Moving on to what we had planned and dreamed of when starting Omni, we are organising the first Acoustic Session at Omni Lounge Darjeeling this Saturday (9 June). Gopal, Smriti & Mingma (all Omni regulars by the way) have formed The GSM Trio and will perform on Saturday and Sunday. Other willing guests can join in the Jam session also. Hope to have Dipank sing some of his originals... I believe they are really good.

The Omni gang (yours truely included) is also planning on a gig around next weekend along with Bibek & Jonah on the guitars. Ozzman is still reluctant to perform without "proper practice", but we are coaxing him to sing just the same. The gang's still waiting for the notorious JK to perform his reggae numbers. JK can you hear us in your jungle???!!!!!

If you are around this Saturday and Sunday, then do drop in for that 90s Unplugged feel .
