The last couple of weeks !!!
have been fantastic, We mean , really fantastic, we moved to a new home on Facebook/Reverbnation and have since gathered over 2700 fans resulting in 3000 song plays (in barely 5 weeks) while climbing reverbnation charts from position 192 to 5 on the bangalore charts … To date we have released 3 singles off our upcoming EP titled “The Final Beginning”. The album will debut in full on Radio one 94.3 FM Bengaluru with MJ Rakesh hosting the show and Nandan Reddy producing it on the 11th of Dec. Of course the first three tracks have been very well recieved and we have had many messages from all over congratulating us on the music and the effort we have put on this release, not to forget a fantastic job done by our recording and mixing engineer Neeraj Khanna (who also happens to play the guitar for the band) and Mr Gary Wehrkamp of Shadow Gallery who mastered the album for us in PA , USA !!
Talks with many venues around the country to play live and promote the album and the band are ongoing, Please check back for regular updates..
Till then do listen, enjoy and share our music.

First Single Launched
Get a taste of our new album …
A snippet of a single called “I, Me , myself” is now out on the web. While the rest of the album is being mastered, we thought it was a good idea to let you listen to what’s coming.
You can find it in our new facebook page ( http://www.facebook.com/sonicflare.bangalore)
Yes, we launched a new facebook page. We were getting tied down with the old group. With no way to add cool facebook apps like a music player and gather analytics of our fanbase, we had no option but to move.
Needless to say, you have to like the page before you listen to it. No particular reason for that, we plan to change the order pretty soon ;).
Album being mastered !
Ok its been a while since we’ve had any updates, In a strange way every member in the band has kind of taken up a new enhanced role at work and so its been crazy around that department giving us very very little time for music last 2 months, but the great thing is we have been recording in that time although havent had a chance to play live.
The good news is that the first five songs off our album is getting mastered right now at New horizon Music studios in PA (USA) and we have got the first track back. Its being worked on by the awesome Mr Gary Wehrkamp, Guitar player, Keyboard player, Backing vocalist and drummer….(actually he plays a lot many more instruments than just these)..Check him out here - http://www.newhorizonmusicstudios.com/aboutus.html
We expect to have the whole EP of 5 songs out by the end of October on Itunes. The balance 5 tracks are a work in progress as well.
Tryin some hyderabad shows next month as well, thanks to bangalore Live Band Banned business which comes and goes every coupla years everytime there is a government change and someone in that position up there wants to make some flipping $$ !
Brilliant show at HRC Hyderabad
We tried playing HRC Hyderabad for many moons , but finally 4 futile attempts after confirmations and schedule mismatches, telangana riots etc we finally got to rock the hell out of the place on the 7th of July. Completele madness from the minute we started the show at 9 pm, The originals were recieved very well, considering how many bands had warned us that Hyderabad does not appreciate original music and are more inclined towards covers…
Many press interviews and well Priyanka even managed to get on Hyderabad’s Times Page 1 and 3 \m/
Thats what we call a rockin show !!
No new gigs confirmed yet, too much travel goin on,
So check back for updates please…

Two good shows behind us !
Dont know why it always happens but life is really busy, we’ve had 2 great shows behind us and not even had a chance to update this website… work, our fams and music….Phew
The first was in Tavern , one of our fav haunts and last sunday was in Take5, another of our fav places to perform, Both brilliant gigs although we as a band sometimes get way too critical on small errs, time to move on…Many new tracks, own compositions featured in both gigs… plus some covers too :-)
Next Gig , Hard Rock Cafe- Hyderabad - July 7th….see ya there
Oh and the album recording is still in the works, really slow due to gigs and more work !
Stay tuned folks and thanks for visiting us :-)
Peace

Update !
Been busy as hell, so the update is late… Jan 27th was a nice gig at HRC Bengaluru with many fans turnin up for the gig. We played all our tracks except one from our debut album due to time constraints (and Neerajs wife broke his guitar on his head for not playing it as it was her fav) . But its nice to know the originals are so well recieved always…Wish we could have uploaded the vids, the audio is great but the lighting for some strange reason was sooo poor its almost a black screen, so its pointless.
Feb is an off month as Neeraj is off to the Big Apple and Jonk is off to the North East almost all month, so we had to refuse 2 gigs but the creative juices are still flowing and new tracks are being churned out, at this rate i’m not sure if we can ever keep up to recording the tracks :)
Next gig is Hard Rock Cafe Hyderabad on 24th of March…see you there …
Stay tuned and hope all is well…
Peace \m/
