BANGLORE: After a year or more of planning, dreaming, hoping and praying, the wait is finally over for Bangalore band Lounge Piranha.
After two months of rigorous recording sessions in a studio in Chennai, the band finally launched their much awaited album, Going Nowhere, on 12 October. Amidst the ban on live bands and music in the city, LP still managed to pull a decent crowd of approximately 150 at the Alliance de Fran?§ais. The album is a seven song EP recorded and produced by Noam from Tel Aviv under the name of Mongrel Records.
Lounge Piranha has gained popularity over the years for their experimental style and use of soundscapes and textures. However, the band has been criticised for the fact that their music caters to a very niche audience and hopefully, this album will help do away with that notion. For the promotion of Going Nowhere, Lounge Piranha is embarking on a nation wide tour on the 15 October and will play gigs in Delhi, Mumbai, Hyderabad and Chennai. The band is touring in a bus and the entire tour will be documented by a videographer, making them the first Indian band to undertake a full fledged, documented road trip across the country.
