#Shashwat Rawat

[ad_1] Shami in action. Credit: BCCI. File Photo. Bharath in Bengaluru Flashbacks stored in the suburbs of the memory bank are always waiting for their opportunity to emerge. While watching Mohammed Shami’s laboured first two overs in the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy game between Bengal and Baroda, one couldn’t help but spool back in time to when Shami charged to the crease like a gazelle and powered through it akin to a cheetah. The memories were from the 2023 World Cup, where he finished with 24 wickets at an astounding average of just over 10.  The two versions of Shami were vastly different. The veteran fast bowler, who is making a comeback from a serious ankle injury, seemed to be struggling to zip through the crease at the Chinnaswamy. The strides were quite confident. However, by the time the back foot made contact, to the front-foot contact and his follow through, it felt as if he was losing momentum. As a result, he couldn’t bowl at his standard pace. The speeds were anywhere in the range of 80mph to occasionally 85mph.  The effect could be noticed at the other end too as Shami was grappling with his line while bowling to the left-handed Shashwat Rawat, with the extras mounting to five. By the time Shami had completed his third over, his figures didn’t exactly make for a good reading: 40 runs and nothing to show in the wickets column.  At that stage of the innings, once again you started to reminisce about Shami’s spells versus England and twice versus New Zealand in last year’s World Cup. A small miracle, however, was waiting to happen. Maybe it was all the chants or “Shami bhai, Shami bhai” from the sparse but very vocal crowd that galvanised the experienced cricketer. Some pride was at stake too as being smashed around in the lower rungs of cricket would have bruised his ego a bit. In his final over, a turbocharged Shami raced to the crease and was able to transfer the momentum. Shami had ramped up his pace; it looked closer to 140 kph. Suddenly from nowhere, he nailed three yorkers. Be it from round or over the wicket, the angle didn’t seem to matter. Shami also picked up two wickets in that over and completed his quota with 2 for 43.  The larger picture in all of this was gauging Shami’s fitness. If the fast bowler had bowled at similar intensity levels for a majority of his four overs, it would have been crystal clear that this was the right time for the paceman to fly over to Australia and partake in the ongoing Test series. But that wasn’t the case. The encouraging part is that the nuts and bolts of his bowling mechanics seem to be getting better after every game.  Whatever the future holds for Shami, that one single over enthralled the audience. It was pleasing to observe a fast bowler winning the hearts of the public in a format where fours and sixes rule the roost.

But thanks to the upsurging music festivals and events, India now boasts with a plethora of independent musicians who’ve been producing magnificent work that has made its way to the heart of a global audience.

Although, it’s difficult to say Noise Pop has established a foothold in the Indian independent music scene, but popular music festivals/events (Bacardi NH7 Weekender, Ziro Festival of Music, Magnetic Fields, Hornbill Music Festival, etc…) have helped the independent music industry evolve into a vibrant music ecosystem.

The first volume of our guide will bring you in a journey to discover some of these talented artists

LO! PENINSULA

Lo! Peninsula is a Shoegaze/Dreampop/psych rock three-piece band based in Imphal, India. As said on their Bandcamp page, they “Weave dreams for a living”.

SHASHWAT BULUSU (BULLU)

Baroda-based singer-songwriter/producer Shashwat Bulusu (also known as BULLU)  is no stranger to the Indian lo-fi music scene.

His experiments on lo-fi music production began some time between 2014-15 which gravitated towards creating dreamy, lo-fi atmospheric soundscapes with generously reverberated melodic vocals and thus began his journey as a performing artist.

HOIRONG

HOIRONG is a solo project of Bangalore based lo-fi/noise rock guitarist Kamal Singh. Like most of their lyrics, their bio is equally and outrageously wacky. Here’s how they explain their music - “This is the fat and ugly stepsister of pop music, and it’s basically sublime. It’s all very confusing, with traces of punk, art-rock, noise-rock, pop, metal, (and disco, apparently) all jostling with each other and making fleeting appearances in a sound that, while indeed a jumble, is still inherently individualistic and undeniably cool.”

After the release of his debut album, The Resurrection Of The Princess Of Woe And Her Vampire Hound Posse, in 2013, he got himself a band to perform together in 2014.

OUTRO

Editor’s note: A big thank you to Pedro Damian (Shoegazer Alive radio and Shoegazer Alive blog) for recommending some of the bands and for the related special India radio episode. Also thanks to Shoegaze Japan FB group that started Noise Artists interest in Indian bands. And of course thanks to Nitin for his enthusiasm and hard work on this article.

We hope to be working soon on a second volume, so please let us know if you know anymore bands on our Facebook page or by email.
