From April 4 to April 8, 2010, the Swarnabhoomi Academy of Music brought five-time Grammy Award winner Victor Wooten, inarguably among the world’s most well-known bass guitarists, to India for a series of performances and workshops in four cities — Chennai, Bangalore, Kolkata, and Mumbai. Sharing the stage with Wooten were Prasanna himself on guitar, Dr S Karthick on ghatam, and Bangalore Amrit playing the kanjira.

Looks like Bangalore is going to have an extremely loud summer this year. Lamb of God. May 15. Tickets available here.

If you’re anywhere near Bangalore today, you should definitely check out Red Bull Soundclash, featuring Something Relevant (India) and The Call (Pakistan).

From the Red Bull web site:

In an unparalleled live, four-round musical battle between two bands with diverse sounds, styles and creativity, both acts will have to fulfil creative tasks such as playing covers and taking over songs from their opponents. The winner is determined by the audience‘s applause, which is measured by a decibel meter.

Red Bull Soundclash has received international acclaim from past events hosted in Japan, Russia, Hungary, Belgium, Poland, New Zealand and the Netherlands, with acts such as Shiny Toy Guns, Erykah Badu, Antibalas and The Roots all taking part.
