Someplace Else ~ Forever

A tribute to CUBAN ALL STARS - by Dibs & Friends

2011-08-02T20:22:00.001+05:30

July 30th, 2011 saw Dibs (Dibyendu Mukherjee) team up with friends - ex-bandmates from the former line up of popular Latin band Orient Express - to conjure up some Latin magic at Someplace Else @ The Park, Kolkata, much to the delight of fans and revelers! A very special night indeed, with some very special music...

The Saturday Night Blues Band featuring Ehsaan Noorani - July 23rd, 2011 @ SPE

2011-07-26T20:22:00.010+05:30

July 23rd, 2011, 10.15pm: An expectant full-house crowd eagerly waited for the evening's gig to begin. People had started trickling in to Someplace Else @ the Park, Kolkata from around 8.30 pm, and by the time the band was ready to take the stage, the place was packed! One needed to jostle just to move around, leave alone making one's way towards the stage...

At 10.20pm, Jayanta Dasgupta of The Saturday Night Blues Band (SNB for short) took the stage and introduced Jasbeer Singh, head honcho of Fender guitars in India. Shaukat Ali (Chuku) was honored as an endorsee of Fender guitars, after which the band, along with the man who the crowd had come to see - Ehsaan Noorani of SEL fame - took the stage.

What followed was an evening of enthralling music, where musicianship and the sheer energy of the band members was matched in no small measure by the cheering of the crowd! To make it a night to remember, Chiro (Chiradeep Lahiri), who was in Kolkata on vacation, was invited on stage to jam with the band. And later, Anita and Tanya joined Arunima on stage to create some more magic!

All in all, it was one of the city's best gigs in quite some time, and it left the crowd screaming for more when the band decided to end the show at 2.15 am!

Here are some pics from the show. Enjoy!

Skinny Alley live at Someplace Else

2009-10-05T17:59:00.003+05:30

Skinny Alley is a band comprising some of India's most experienced and versatile musicians, each of whom brings a wealth of experience that contributes richly to the sound of the band. Each member has performed in several bands all over the country and outside, playing music that spans many decades and even more styles, ranging from rock and roll to reggae, from funk to fusion, and from jazz-inflected pop to the blues. The band has played to diverse crowds, from college campuses to plush clubs and from coffee-houses to football stadiums, to a gangster-family wedding on a shady rooftop. The original music of Skinny Alley reflects all of this; incorporating the maturity, the skills, the influences and the experience of the five musicians. This is a new sound and we believe that it is here to stay.......

Swarathma live at Someplace Else

2009-02-24T15:29:00.003+05:30

Swarathma is a Bangalore (India) based Indian Folk/fusion band. The current line up includes Vasu Dixit (vocals and rhythm guitar), Pavan Kumar KJ (percussion and backing vocals), Montry Manuel (drums), Varun (lead guitar), Sanjeev Nayak (violin) and Jishnu Dasgupta (bass guitar and backing vocals).
They were formed in 2002 in Mysore when vocalist and songwriter Vasu Dixit met Abhinanth Kumar on guitars with the objective of creating original music. Joined by Pavan Kumar KJ on percussions, Arjun on the violin and Montry Manuel on drums, they were the original line-up.
In early 2008, Radio City re-launched Radio City Live, a nation-wide hunt for India's best Hindi band.. Selecting from over 100 entries from bands across India, Swarathma made it to the national finals with a winning performance.
The band flew to New Delhi for its first show outside Karnataka at the Garden of Five Senses. Pitted against six other top bands from across the country, Swarathma delivered a powerful performance that won them the Radio City Live title. In press interviews the band said that it was a combination of theatric showmanship and musical effort that brought them this honour, coupled with the fact that the onstage energy came from close relationships that band-members shared amongst themselves. Palash Sen of Euphoria, one of the judges of the event said, "This is the moment we've all been eagerly been waiting for - Swarathma being declared India's best Hindi Band!". This was one of the band's biggest moments.
Swarathma recorded their debut album with EMI Music India as part of winning RC Live in Kshitiz Studios, New Delhi in July-August 2008 with Amit Kilam as the producer.

The Doors were an American rock band formed in 1965 in Los Angeles by vocalist Jim Morrison, keyboardist Ray Manzarek, drummer John Densmore, and guitarist Robby Krieger. The Doors' music was a fusion of psychedelic rock, hard rock, blues-rock, and acid rock. They were considered a controversial band, due mostly to Morrison's cryptic lyrics and unpredictable stage persona.The Lizard King....Jim Morrison is best known as the lead singer and lyricist of The Doors and is widely considered to be one of the most charismatic frontmen in rock music history.Catch Best of Mr. Morrison and The Doors performed live by INSOMNIA at

Junkyard Groove - Live at Someplace Else

2008-11-11T13:20:00.004+05:30

Junkyard Groove band has carved its own unique niche in the Indian rock scene, fusing rock with funk to give an uplifting style that reaches out to all ages; wowing the audience with a tight, high energy, flawless, musical stage performance.

Ever since its conception in the summer of 2005, Junkyard Groove was nothing but your silly sense of humour trying to be creative and once it got rolling there was really nothing anybody wanted to do in terms of changing direction or slowing down the pace of things.

With an inspirational songwriter in Ameeth and equally brilliant musicians in Jerry, Sid and Craig the band came up with some "wicked" compositions with truckloads of promise.

The band was the opening act at Dubai's Desert Rock Festival 2007 opening for the likes of IRON MAIDEN, INCUBUS and ROBERT PLANT.

You know love Some Place Else when...

(I had to post this -- part of a face book group it was)

When you can blindly find your way to the toilets no matter how piss drunk you are

when you have had atleast one major drunk incident at the pub and wouldn't be embarrassed to repeat it.

more often than not, you find yourself leavin the dance floor at Roxy to take a dip in Some Place Else

when after a point you get free red bulls with your JD

when the bartenders know you by your first name

when they know that its a cosmopolitan you would drink if you had the dough but otherwise would stick to kingfisher

when you have a chosen spot in the bar

when you start goin for Hip Pocket performances twice a week

when you start goin for Hip Pocket performances atleast 5 times a month.

when you stop listenin to classic rock at home so that you can keep your appetite fresh for the Hip Pockets gig.

when you have friends playing at SPE atleast 4 times in your life

You have been to atleast 3 of the Bob Dylan nights even tho its always been more or less the same

You dream of the time when you can be frivolous enough to buy all the music coasters on display

When you know you have run out of songs to request for

you get infuriated if they run out of pitchers and then happily settle for bottles... you give the bartenders a piece of your mind for it and then sit and laugh with them after 15 minutes of drinking the same

when you have a birthday mini party in there and find yourself sharing cake with random strangers

when you know people by their faces because they are just as badly in love with the place.

you crib about the fact that the Hip Pockets playlist hasn't changed in the last decade still head bang away to glory every wednesday and friday.

you are type who prefers Calcutta over Kolkata.

when you know the cabbies outside the park. or have a regular cabbie for your ride back home.

when you end up going there by yourself. and then meet a hundred other people you know.

when you live away from calcutta, you find yourself missing the bustle of some place rather than your room.

It marked the beginning of a club rock culture in the Capital, which has sustained beyond the festival.. Last year, Kingfisher Pubrockfest was taken to 7 cities with 30 gigs. This year, it is bigger than ever, going into 20 cities with 60 gigs – over 100 performances, through May, June and July. Kingfisher Pubrockfest this year will see some of the greatest names in the music circuit, along with many new bands and two international bands, namely Aurora Jane & Massive Change (Australia) and Rachelle Van Zanten (Canada), touring the country. .

2008-04-07T22:55:00.019+05:30

Gary Lawyer was back in Kolkata at Someplace Else on Saturday, March 15th, for an evening with Hip Pocket. Nandan & Co. kicked off the evening around 10:15pm, with a crowd waiting eagerly for Gary to take the stage. Hip Pocket played their routine gig till about 11pm, when Gary - dressed in black and looking dapper as always - walked in to thunderous applause.

The evening from then on was a showcase of versatility and energy, both from the veterans on stage as well as the crowd, who simply loved every moment of the show. Gary being the great frontman that he is, kept the crowd involved till the last number, and then some more...

Hope you hv fun, & feel free to leave ur comments...

An Alternative Music Fest

Someplace Else brings you a fortnight of music… the way you’ve never heard it before! With a plethora of bands, each with a unique sound… it promises to change the meaning of ‘alternative’!

HELGA’S FUN CASTLE... featuring Gino Banks
1st April 2006. 9pm onwards

HFC was formed in November 2004. They came onto the circuit as a jam band, hitting stages completely unrehearsed with most of their set, and made up songs impromptu! The band comprises of Siddharth Coutto (also drummer of Zero), Meghashyam (ex guitarist of Acquired Funk Syndrome, Zero Guitar player), Gino Banks and Johan Pais (ex- Vicious circle). It's a mini 'supergroup' with seasoned musicians in it. In Someplace Else they bust the theory that music has to stick to a particular genre! And watch out for the track they have penned specially for SPE!!
URBAN REFLECTIONS
8th April 2006. 9pm onwards
Urban Reflections was a project started by Debashish Banerjee and Sidhartho Samadar in 2003. The main objective of the band is to bring about a change in the current live music scene in Kolkata by incorporating the sound of jazz, funk, soul and R&B into the existing sound. In Someplace Else they explore their venture into the international music scene, charting tracks from John Coltraine to Steely Dan.

MYSTIQUE… featuring Amit Heri
14th April 2006. 9pm onwards
One of the few Indian musicians to perform at major international music festivals, Amit Heri draws inspiration from various musical cultures of the world including Latin, Indian, Contemporary, Jazz, Funk, Blues and European music. Mystique, featuring Amit Heri, Mukul Dogre and Ravindra Chari, is a unique band with a fusion sound that ranges from mellow and pretty, to fiery and funky! Tightly woven compositions interspersed with intricate improvisations in a high-energy performance makes Mystique a uniquely enjoyable listening experience!
THE TRIBE
15th April 2006. 9pm onwards
The Tribe was a musical journey that was started by Ujjayinee and Gaurav in December 2004 in Chennai, with the prime aim of creating a sound with a difference. Working and experimenting with various genres of music from electronica, opera and rock, to Indian and Western classical and jazz, Tribe has given birth to a unique sound, which is completely original and experimental. At Someplace Else they will be joined by eminent Hindustani and Karnatic percussion players Soumen (on tabla) and Somnath, along with Soumitro Baypari (on the violin) and DJ Amit from Mumbai! An eclectic group of musicians creating a truly alternative brand of sound!

HARD ROCK NITE feat. PARIKRAMA

2006-02-09T21:29:00.000+05:30

Modesty is not their forte. And after their phenomenal success in India that cannot really be grudged that! They are called PARIKRAMA – literally meaning ‘revolving’ in Hindi, and boy, have they revolved around the sub-continent! Band members Chintan Kalra, Sonam Sherpa, Nitin Malik, Pt. Shambhu Nath, Rajat Kakkar, Saurabh Chaudhry and Subir Malik, all professionals leading a “regular” existence, come together when a musical fancy take over them to form Parikrama. Their mutual need to express the inexpressible through the medium of music, serves to make Parikrama a band to be reckoned with!
