Tell me about your history? How did you get where you are now?
HALFWAY THROUGH
The band started in the year 2004 when Sushmit n Nishant were just out of schools and wanted to kill some time...so they got in touch with Sanjam and started jamming at his place....The 1st song they covered was 'nothing else matters' which they played in their school(headlining the inter house music fest)..then they started doing that every year..so our jamming started.... by early 2006, HwT was ready to play live....did play here and there...Sanjam was working and couldnt give much time to the band..so he quit...after playing with 1 or 2 drummers they zeroed down on Shashank. Now planning to record the next few songs and looking for more gigs in future...ALL SET!!
Have you performed live in front of an audience? Any special memories?
ya a few gigs here n there...looking forward for more
