Chennai-based restobar aims to tell the ‘Same Old Story’ with a pan-Asian plot twist

Dim lights, leather couches, shiny surfaces, thumping music, a well-lit bar and familiar faces — these are the markers of most of Chennai’s pubs. While some places strive to differentiate themselves from others, Same Old Story (SOS) on Greams road, which was launched late last year, sees merit in monotony. “When the days are good, we celebrate with the same group of friends and when it has been a…

A new article I really liked about the emerging metal scene in Chennai!

For context, Chennai in South India has finally begun to gain some momentum, having opened a few metal bars, cover nights and shows showcasing local metal acts. Despite metal being really big in nearby Bangalore, it hasn’t historically taken as much root in Chennai, Chennai’s always had a larger folk, classical or acoustic singer-songwriter scene.

This is a new article in The Hindu talking about emerging metal acts in the city.

Chennai’s metal scene evolves with steady head banging and roars

In popular pubs across Chennai, an underground metal scene swaddled in black, makes a comeback.

Most of the 100 people gathered around The Spotted Deer pub in The Palomar hotel in ECR early in April were in black T-shirts, while others wore distinctive white shirts and lungis.

Shreyaa Lakshmi Narayanan, one among the few managing the crowd, had never heard a metal song before this sold-out gig. But she has been bobbing her head to heavy music ever since.

The genre is making noise again in Chennai. And there is no better proof than Metal Munnetra Kazhagam, a cover gig by musicians across the city in tribute to globally legendary bands Slipknot and Rage Against the Machine.

“It wasn’t just a concert…it felt like a turning point, a hope for even greater collaboration and creativity in the community,” said Aditya Rao, frontman of Mangas and the Mango Men, a metal band born in 2022. 

Formed with a sly spin on Tamil Nadu’s distinctive political party suffix, the gig featured members of Chennai’s loudest homegrown bands, like Mangas, Moral Putrefaction, Frankendriver and Godia, teaming up with each other to roar and get roared at. 

“We wanted to change attitudes towards metal, and mix bands to give people new to Chennai a chance,” smiled Manu Krishnan, one of the organisers. 

This year has been more than a revival for metal in Chennai. It has also been a reinvention: in embracing Tamil culture as a brand, who gets to play on stage, accessibility, and in the very heart of what it means to love the heaviest sounds of Chennai. 

Armaan, Manu and Srikanth Natarajan founded Metal Chennai in 2018 to change the idea of “metal being an expensive hobby,” in Manu’s words. Saturday night’s screaming marked the first big Metal Chennai gig since September last year, which was hosted in Gears n Garage in Nungambakkam. When the pub indefinitely shut shop, it signalled a shrunken number of venues willing to host metal.

Nevertheless, metalheads in Chennai have for generations been fighting tooth and nail to keep the volatile pulse of the scene alive: finding scream-friendly venues and trying to build a community that is safe and enticing for everyone, while still tough and edgy enough for the brand.

Venues that both sonically work for metal and are willing to host it in the city are rare, unlike ones like Bangalore. “Metal is not like other genres. We can’t just amplify the sound. It needs an advanced setup,” says Shivamoorthy of Moral Putrefaction.

The Palomar hotel began operations just last month, and talks are ongoing for future events.

The craze for metal in fact dates back to at least the Sixties, according to Eddie Prithviraj, who joined in the early Nineties. He’s been organising live music gigs across genres like jazz and pop in Chennai for 30 years, but back then, he had just founded a metal band called Bone Saw, and another called Blood Covenant in 2004. Issues with venues date back to even his time, when he had to close one himself.

“Come the Nineties, a couple of rebels really wanted to explode themselves,” Eddie explains. “It’s never been in the mainstream. But it was there. Guys recorded extreme death metal on cassettes in 1996. It was something to be cherished. It isn’t anymore.”

Between 2015 and 2018, Chennai’s metal scene had once again “died,” as recalled by Armaan, Mickey and Isaiah Anderson, vocalist of progressive metalcore band Godia. 

Mickey has convinced some of his bands to change their names and album art styles to make them fiercer because “branding matters in a commercial music space.” In Chennai and India at large, he argues, bands usually start in universities and they don’t think about branding then. 

Chennai has seen a rise in more explicitly defined subjects in metal lyrics, with subjects spanning from genocide, the “rot” in society and rights for the queer community for Moral Putrefaction to mental health and depression for Godia. This, Shivamoorthy of Moral Putrefaction says, also goes against the tide of “aggression”, sometimes tinged with right-wing politics, in metal.

As a culmination of all the trends in this genre in Chennai, the attendance at Metal Munnetra Kazhagam is what Beeto Jerrin from Moral Putrefaction describes as a “decent” crowd by the standards of 2023. Ironically, during the struggle to regain these numbers in Chennai, bands like his and Godia reached international acclaim with performances and signed records.

Despite metal now being forced to think in terms of business, the desire to increase listeners comes from a very personal place for many. 

Armaan, points out that so far in India, there have been barriers of privilege in language, caste, gender and capital that restrict possibilities for both bands and audiences. One way this plays out in Chennai is women being sidelined in the metal scene This is something that Armaan, as an organiser, admits to still navigating. 

The gig also comes at the heels of a brand new college student-run platform MoshLit Events, the youngest group to organise metal and hard rock events, securing venues like 10 Downing Street and Steams n Whistles bar in GRT Grand. The technicality of sound is an issue here, according to Sivaramakrishnan, bassist for Frankendriver, but his bandmate Teeto Jerrin feels the energy at their gigs is sky high.

MoshLit kicked off just this year. They lay it all out on Instagram: commissioning graphic designers for posters, posting videos from the shows,  and almost daring people to come. Their aim is to bring metal to the “forefront,” with uniquely appealing initiatives like relatively accessible ticket prices and an after-party DJ. You could spot MoshLit at a Metal Chennai gig, and vice versa.

In today’s Tamil Nadu, metalheads keep grooving. Inside the toughness, Manu says, “we’re all teddy bears.” As Aditya puts it, “supporting each other will carry us forward.”

Dr. Mary Travelbest - Reykjavik Iceland

In this episode, FAQ is: I’ll be going to India soon. What are some ways to prepare for that trip?

Today’s Destination is Reykjavik, Iceland

Today’s Mistake- Biggest Windstorms in Iceland

Travel Advice:  Save Money by grocery shopping

  FAQ: I’ll be going to India soon. What are some ways to prepare for that trip?

Answer:

To prepare for a trip to India, see if you know anyone who lives there now. It’s the world’s most populated country. Consider talking to them about your travel plans and what you want to do. I visited six cities, starting in Chennai and then Kerala on the opposite coast. Then, I ventured north to Hyderabad. After that, I went to Goa and then to Agra and Dehli. The cities where I had a connection or contact made me travel better. You can read the guidebooks, watch the YouTube videos, and do your homework first. Have a plan or goal for your trip; if your mission is world peace, like mine, let me know how you prepared. Even though I had planned the trip for years in my mind, there’s nothing like going and preparing for the trip while on the trip, too. Listen for some future episodes on India with Dr. Travelbest.

  Today’s destination: Reykjavik, Iceland

  Reykjavik, the capital of Iceland, is known for its stunning natural wonders, but it also boasts cultural gems. Stroll through the colorful streets of the Old Town, visit the iconic Hallgrímskirkja church, and explore Reykjavik's vibrant arts scene at Harpa Concert Hall. For a breathtaking exploration of Iceland's unique geological features, embark on the Golden Circle route, which includes Thingvellir National Park, Geysir Geothermal Area, and Gullfoss Waterfall. Don't miss the opportunity to relax in the soothing waters of thermal pools, natural and manufactured.

  If you plan on exploring Iceland's vast wilderness solo, consider safety. Inform someone of your plans, equip yourself with a fully charged phone, and stay updated on weather conditions. The Icelandic Touring Association provides valuable resources for ensuring a secure and enjoyable solo adventure in the country's stunning landscapes.

  Despite its chilly climate, Iceland is known for its warm hospitality. Engage with locals at cozy cafes, attend cultural events, and embrace the friendly atmosphere of Reykjavik's pubs. The Icelandic people's warmth transforms solo exploration into shared experiences, fostering connections that make your journey memorable.

  Take advantage of the opportunity to savor the flavors of Icelandic cuisine in Reykjavik's eclectic restaurants. Indulge in fresh seafood from the grocery store called Bonus, or sample traditional dishes like lamb soup and yogurt-like skyr (pronounced Skeer) at local eateries. Reykjavik's culinary scene is a delightful exploration of Nordic tastes, complemented by the warmth of cozy establishments.

  Immerse yourself in Iceland's cultural offerings by attending local events and festivals. From music concerts to collegiate sporting events, these experiences provide perspective to your solo Nordic adventure, connecting you with the vibrant spirit of Iceland.

  Take time to relax amidst Iceland's stunning landscapes. Find solace in the city's hot springs, indulge in a spa day at the Blue Lagoon or at the public pools, where the fee is only $3.00 to visit, or simply marvel at the beauty of the Northern Lights (the Aurora Borealis), during the winter months. I met someone who saw these in September.  Let the magic of Iceland's natural wonders be a backdrop for personal reflection and rejuvenation.

  Reykjavik was founded in 874 by Norwegian Vikings, who discovered the area's geothermal vents and established their first homes there. The city's name, Smoky Bay, comes from the fierce weather that has caused many to perish in the storms here over centuries. Today, Reykjavik has a population of 181,000 and is a walkable city with many tourists. The city is filled with flowers in the summer, and the long summer days make for short flying times to New York, Seattle, and DC.

  Reykjavik is the main city in Iceland, a must-visit for those seeking an alternative attitude, fresh produce, and innovative chefs. Other notable attractions include Hallgrimskirkja, eco-consciousness, geothermal swimming pools, and beaches, moonscapes close to town, and a monument to the Vikings on the waterfront.

  Iceland's exports include fish, and the country has a parliamentary democracy and hydrogen-powered transport expertise. The energetic and uninhibited culture, a mix of Scandinavian and Celtic origins, offsets the high cost of living. The popular discussion topics are Icelandic sagas, elves, whale watching, horse riding, hiking, and hot dogs with remuladi and mayonnaise sauce.

  Today’s Mistake- Biggest Windstorms in Iceland

  My sister and her husband went to Iceland in February 2020. They hit a big storm season and had trouble with all of the plans they had made. Be prepared for weather adjustments. I was there in August 2023, and the weather was mild. T-shirts and light sweaters were all that were needed.

Today’s Travel Advice-Save Money by grocery shopping

  In Iceland, you can find prices exceptionally high, especially in restaurants. I could save much money if I made at least one meal daily from things I bought at the grocery store. I stocked up on chocolate for gifts for the family, too.
