The Champagne of all Tap Waters

2008-09-19T03:47:00.004+05:30

Tap'dNY is a new bottled water startup based out of New York that sells - New York City tap water.. Weird as that may sound theyre doing it and doing it rather well (as against overpriced water from French springs and Himalayan Glaciers) Read up to see how a mix of ingenuinty, honesty and balls is often the right recipe for a great product..

Attack of the Jalebeewallahs!!!

2008-07-21T07:20:00.000+05:30

Jalebee Cartel was playing in Roxy this saturday and, as expected, they destroyed the place. A solid 2 hour live set featuring Calcutta guitar guru Taj (remember Cognac??) was exactly what the doctor ordered. Besides all their regular crowd killers, we also got a chance to taste their latest offering - "Mirrors" with a nice smoothly flowing downtempo feel to it. Jalebee spinfreaks Arjun & Ashvin kept us busy for the rest of the night, suitably aided by Ash on vox and percussions... Jalebee forever, indeed...

So we made this tee titled 'The JalebeeWallah' to commemorate the event and follow up on the 'Cartel Control' tee that we dropped at the Submerge gig. It rocked, but of course, and a couple of lucky jalebee fans also managed to get thir hands on one. There were also a few Cartel Control & Acid Pants stickers floating around Roxy. If you wanted to get your hands on some but couldnt, well here's your chance. We've got 5-6 of them left so if you want them - GET IN TOUCH NOW...

Forgive the low-res shots.. And turn up the next time its Jalebee time...
