xilddx Posted October 13, 2014 Share Posted October 13, 2014 Sheema Mukherjee at the Bournemouth International Centre last month. I'm playing guitar in this band. First gig with the ol 1961 Gibson Melody Maker, I love it, wonderful beat up old thing I got at Wunjos six months ago. It's currently with Martin Petersen at the Bass Gallery having a Kent Armstrong Soapbar neck pickup routed and installed and some of his cool switching rewiring. Can't wait! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UqeTH90bO1s Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gary mac Posted October 13, 2014 Share Posted October 13, 2014 I like everything about this. Such an interesting, absorbing mix of styles/influences. Really enjoyed listening to this Nige. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roland Rock Posted October 13, 2014 Share Posted October 13, 2014 Great stuff - a really enjoyable mix of styles and great buildups. That's a gig I'd love to be at :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flyfisher Posted October 13, 2014 Share Posted October 13, 2014 I don't consider myself particularly adventurous when it comes to musical fusions but something about this really grabbed me. More snippets here: http://eccrecords.co.uk/ecc100/. I'm waiting for my copy of the album to arrive Xilddx has certainly got the knack of getting involved in fun, interesting projects. Excellent stuff! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beer of the Bass Posted October 13, 2014 Share Posted October 13, 2014 I like that. It's got a bit of a lighter touch and more of a sense of fun than I've seen in some fusion-y projects. Can I detect a little Hillage influence in your guitar playing in the opening number? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xilddx Posted October 13, 2014 Author Share Posted October 13, 2014 Hey cheers guys! Yeah it really is fun! BotB, yeah Hillage and Alex Lifeson are big influences for me. Hopefully we'll be touring next year, so I'll post any details as I get them. Sheema's got a ton of influences, she is kind of half deadly serious North Indian classical and half nutcase And she's an amazing musician and composer. So she wrote an album that reflected the whole rather than one of the two halves, if you know what I mean. She's a damn good bassist as well and plays bass and sitar in Transglobal Underground.

gary mac Posted October 13, 2014 Share Posted October 13, 2014 Nige, after watching the vid this morning and seeing her fretting hand technique I was going to post and ask you if she played bass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xilddx Posted October 13, 2014 Author Share Posted October 13, 2014 (edited) That's pretty much what I said to her when she first got a bass all those years ago, bass is a good fit for a sitarist. We think playing bass is hard on our hands and fingers, try sitar, she's been playing for about 35 years and her fingers still look like this quite often Edited October 13, 2014 by xilddx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
