Bangalore folk rockers Swarathma have been a busy bunch over the last couple of months. The band are preparing to release their new album Topiwalleh soon and have already released a new single from the album called ‘Aaj Ki Taaza Fikar‘. Swarathma also held a contest for that single, AND have contributed music for an indie movie, AND collaborated with Hindustani classical chanteuse Shubha Mudgal on The Dewarists! The Bangalore band has no plans for stopping there though and recently announced yet another contest.
‘Our Jampad is Open to You’, or OJOY, offers fans the opportunity to jam with Swarathma. Here are the rules of the contest (from Swarathma’s Facebook page)
- You do not need to be a professional musician or singer. You could be an amateur singer, or a guitarist who knows just one chord or someone with just love for music and no training at all. It doesn’t matter. What is important is that we will share the same musical space.
- The jam will be held in the band’s Bangalore jampad OR a rented jam space in a city where you live. The dates of the jam will be coordinated at a later date based on mutual convenience.
- There will be a video crew who will shoot the experience and create a DVD for you as a keepsake.
- We will also announce a winner who will walk away with a pair of Sennheiser HD 203 headphones as part of this contest.
To enter this contest, all you have to do is enter a reply into this note on the band’s Facebook page.
More from Swarathma soon. Check out the poster for OJOY below.
