 Rock...& Roll They've
got music in their nerves, and an album in cyberspace. Chennai's Nurve
rock group, seven youngsters in their teens and thereabouts, have hit the
www circuit -- not the music stores -- to launch their debut singles
Driving me crazy and Mirror, mirror from their first album We've Got Nurve.
The numbers will be on sale at www.liquidaudio.com. Nurve's influences
include rock 'n' roll, blues and pop, but they're not game for slotting
themselves yet. Says founder member Aubrey Sequeira: "We don't want
people to ask for pop or jazz. We want them to simply ask for Nurve.''
Some nerve.

Renuka Up
against mini-skirted maidens and remix rajas, life ain't easy for the
Indian rocker. And the Levi's Great Indian Rock (GIR) show -- organised by
RSJ mag -- is one of those rare platforms "for Indian rock groups to
perform their original music", as RSJ's Shena Gamat-Saigal puts it.
In its third edition, GIR at Delhi's Pragati Maidan (February 12 &
13), has for the first time been preceded by curtain-raisers in three
cities with one coming up at Gurgaon. And though Indirock is still not on
a roll, something's changing at GIR. There's more experimentation, for
one. Works best that way.
