Copula
celebrating the transition

(Preview)

               Club Muzik Events in association with two social organizations, Iron Gym Oinam and Indigenous East is coming up with an event entittled, Copula on the 20th and 23rd of January, 2013. It is a multi venued event with the aim to create a medium to help the social non-profitable organizations to rise funds for the organization at the same time bring in the families of various localities to participate and join in the celebration of the transition of years, here being 2012 and 2013. With a perfect tagline "Celebrating the transition" it is a bridge that links the old and the new or the transit of changing from one year to another.

                    The word Copula in translation is a multi meaning word used in literature, music and statistical theory. Combining the ideas of link (literature), music (a polyphonic texture) and distribution (statistical theory) into a celebration tone the Copula event took shape. It is an event celebrating the transition of years through the participation of every class of people with a wider distributed network of venues.

               Like it's multiple meaning the Club Muzik's Copula consist of various events at multiple venues. The event is a medium to help rise funds for the social non-profitable organisations and at the same time bring in the families of various localities to participate and join in the celebration.

            Nupigee Thamoi, a Manipuri Sumang Leela will be held at Lai'mang, Oinam Mamang Leikai in Oinam as a part of Copula which will be organized by Iron Gym, Oinam. Tapta, the most enchanted and influencial musical icon of Manipur will perform at Citizens Club Ground, Wangkhei Khunou in Imphal. Tapta (Jayanta) along with his full band will be supported by Cleave, a rock band from the state. Cleave, a rock band of Manipur is regarded as one of the best bands in the country having made it's mark in the entire north eastern region. The event will be organized by Indigenous East, a voluntary non-profitable organization based in Imphal and works for the betterment of under privilaged children.

               Club Muzik had planned the Copula event for the 31st of December, 2012 and 1st of January, 2013 but is set back due to some unavoidable social and political casualties in the state. It is an event for the women, children, students and those who are less fortunate to join in the New Year and New Year's Eve celebration in our localities. The event is an opportunity for these individuals to land a hand and participate in the celebration of the transition of years. Earlier Iron Gym Oinam had organized a three day (30th, 31st Dec. 2012 and 1st Jan. 2013) open movie show at Oinam Mamang Leikai at Chigonglei Makhong Community Hall as a part of same event.

               Longjam Tiken Singh, president of Iron Gym Oinam is of the openion that those individuals who are locked up in their houses with daily household works, unreached and unaware of such can have a chance to participate in the social trends. Naorem Herojit Meitei of Indigenous East stated that social bodies at the local levels will have an integrated plateform to share their ideologies to the masses.

               Vespa is the main sponsors along with few co-sponsors. Entry to Iron Gym's Copula is free whereas Indiginous East will charge 100 rupees. Along with it's main Sumang Leela show the Iron Gym Oinam is also organizing a general discussion session with invited guest where the organisation will make some important developmental announcements.

Imphal Metal Convention 2 (preview)

 preview
written by Lukhendro Keisham for www.RockMusicManipur.in
                After the grand success of the first Imphal Metal Convention  the organizers are back with it's second edition. This time the event will feature a Danish metal act Dawn of Demise who are on their fist Indian tour. Along side DOD the IMC2 will also feature Post Mark, Sandrembee, DEAD Mobster, The Wishess, Chem Weed F.M, 16th Revolver, Idyllics, Lost and Found , The 3Strings and Yuthak Wah from the local stages.

                With the festive season already started the event is marked as the first rock fest of this year's concert season. Speaking to the organizer the event is an approach to promote the local artist as well as to help them share the experiences with international acts. Not only that it's an event for the rock artist of the region but for the fans in the North -East region of India who has the greatest number of rock music fans and artist in the counrty.

               Eroz Laishram and Rajiv Nongmeikapam from The Greens told that they have made the passes of the event at the least and affordable for all types of fans to join in and share the same spirit of the concert. A limited number of special passes are also sold which includes a complimentary snacks and backstage passes for publicity stunts.

              In a statement from the organizers Sycorax, the band from Darjeeling won't be able to make it to the event due to a decease in the families of the band. The organizer do considered for a replacement of the band but failed due to the very limited notice of the unfortunate. The efforts of the management was worth appreciating. Apart from this hiccup everything is well as planned and the Imphal Metal Convention is all set to be brutal again on the 18th of Oct. at YAC Range Ground, Imphal.

              The ground works has already been started since the 16th of Oct. and all the out-stationed bands had arrived in Imphal for the big day.

SUMMER STORM,2010 (Preview)


* picture credit: Overture India


             The Lamb of God is coming to town and it seems like things have started to be in mayhem.Termed to be the most popular rock band of real time,these metal lords are the biggest ever band going to sat their flames on the Indian soil.The only international band ever visiting India before they gets old.Unlike other big bands played in the country they are one which has a different taste and genre.The fans had never been as big as ever of heavy music as this time.Seems like things have already changed and is taking place in disguise.Said to be one of the most deadliest,the most brutal and the most heaviest band in the world these Pure American Metal drillers is coming to play in India.The Indian fans had never been so welcoming to get a drop of noise from their most desired metal icon on the planet.It will be a dream come true and a once in a lifetime chance to see such an active band so close to our eyeballs,live.


             Both the organizers and the fans are in full action playing their parts.The social networks like Orkut and Facebook has been flooded with discussions and comment talking only about the band and nothing else.The fans in the Facebook community has well exceeded thousand fans and the early bird ticket sales has all been sold out within few days of its start.It came as a surprise to the news that these Grammy nominees are coming to India.No one and hardly anyone had ever guessed or expected of such a big band coming to this country on their hay day.It was only after the official confirmation from the band that they are to land in India for the 15th of May,2010 on their official pages.Bangalore's Palace Ground will be the granted venue of the event which is considered to be the only soil to withstand such a big and heavy loads of the crowd and the necessary conveniences.The cops and the organizers really have to put an extra effort.The city's transport system (autos) will really be pleased with the extra late night earning from the breaking crowds after the concert.There use to be always a shortage of transport to the concert goers in this venue and so they have to walk a distance to get their moving seats.But thing will be different this time.The taste of mosh pit,music and head bangs you just had will accompany you the rest of the night.

            The air around the city is mixed up with the heat of the summer and the force of the storm coming its way from Richmond,Virginia.An early bird tickets of 1,000 passes at Rs.950* (sold out) is been put up by the Overture India.The first 1000 ticket buyers are automatically entered into a lottery, which could give them a chance to meet Lamb of God or win some official merchandise from the band.The Box Office ticket on the day of the show is priced at Rs.1,300* (very limited).Some free merchandise winners have been announced by the Overture India on their official twitter updates.

           It is also officially confirmed that the Lamb of God will be supported by four bands of the country:Bhoomi,Boomarang,Extinct Reflections and Scribe.A must watch among the many Indian bands.With fans going to be flooded from every part of the country and the neighbouring countries the concert is expected to be one of the biggest in the history of India.To those who are attending the concert,make sure you be present in the venue as early as possible.To get the recent progress about the event follow them on "Twitter" and "Facebook" where they are most active.With this episode of Summer Storm,Bangalore will not only be the already metal capital of the country but also the most aggregated venue of big rock shows in the country.Welcome friends and folks,this is all yours,safe and sound.Had there been heaven for hell then here it is Bangalore,the heaven for metal on rock.

               Ten tips for those who are attending:

1. Reach the venue as early as possible, as there could be scuffles  and you may miss your chance to get inside even though you have your passes. Reaching early will help you to get good parking space, avoid long queues and other security procedures etc.

2. Wear light cotton clothes, it will keep you cool . Wear shoes which are light and won’t fall off, (unless you want to see your shoe do the ‘crowd surfing’). Ladies, Avoid the high heels.

3. Keep away from crowded areas and don’t cause havoc inside the venue as  it could cause stampedes, stumbling and other dangerous rushes.

4. Do NOT carry cameras, lighter, cigarettes and any conspicuous object that you believe will be banned inside such venues. Don’t forget to carry your medication (if any) which you rely on.

5. Always be aware of pitfalls of moshing, crowd surfing and thrashing unless you are really prepared and muscular enough.

6. Eat, drink (not get drunk, but H2O)   before the concert because once the concert starts  it would be difficult for you to get out to get food or drinks and to get back to your favorite spot.

7. Always stay close to your group, high chances of getting lost.

8. Don’t lose your pass till the end of the concert. Or maybe till you reach home, because it will save you from the cops on your way back.

9. Don’t rush to get out in the end. You will get your opportunity to exit.

10. Last but not the least; know the band well, their genre of music, songs, and lyrics where you can sing along with the band, live. If this band means a lot to you then save the ticket/pass for your memories.


              The countdown had already began,the blades has been sharpen and the beast is ready for a ride.So get along,fasten your neck bolt,the symphony of hell is coming down to sing the hymns of their hell.Don't only learn to growl or get the lyrics right but to bang your head or else you will be left as an abandon child among the crowd.Keep your pain killer ready for the next morning for you may have a little side effect of neck pain and if worse a slight fever.
