I know we have been quiet for a while but there has been a lot of buzz about Aavakai. I was pleasantly surprised at a recent party when someone mentioned that they heard about our group for the first time when they went to visit Australia?yeah you read it right. They heard abt us in Australia! :)

What else?...We recently got two invitations to perform out-of-town -> Los Angeles, but unfortunately had to turn down the offers as most of us are not available during the dates they wanted, including Surya & me :( There are some shows in the pipeline for the loooong run, so keep visiting?

Saturday, November 17th 2007. San Mateo Center for Performing Arts was filled with around 500 people, eager to watch "Colors of India" put together by the San Mateo High School Indian Association.

The time was around 7:50pm and as soon as Drumstix (aka 'Aavakai') was introduced by Sindhu Gollamudi, curtains opened and the band went live with the thumping song "Fanaa" from Yuva, followed by the mellifluous "Zaraa zaraa" from Rehna hai tere dil mein by Swathi. Sriphani with relentless energy on the handsonic played the beats much alike the original score.
