After Hours- an ode to the underground

We’ve heard stories about the underground. For some of us, however, it was a first time experiencing it at Jamlouder After Hours.

To give you a brief, After Hours is a gig where musicians come to express their music that is different from and sometimes ahead of the mainstream. Musicians supporting other musicians, that is the core belief for us at Jamlouder and this is our way of realising that belief. 

The last session saw eleven solo performers and three bands perform at Sharma Muzik, the music store that has indeed become our very own Gilman, as someone noted at the event. It has been an immense pleasure working with some of the best talent from our city at this show. Takes us back to the good old college days where music festivals were all the craze. After all, we too are musicians.

And speaking of musicians, the bands were totally insane. Teen Spirit paid a tribute to Dolores O’Riordan by giving a flawless performance of one of her songs, Zombie. The Lolypops went full punk and embodied everything we love about punk rock. The Faculty did their own renditions of their playlist and maybe taught us a thing or two about music.

Somewhere in the crowd, we found a place, an identity and in the end that is what matters.

It was a night to remember as our local music scene got a whole lot louder. Just the way we like it. But in case you missed it, don’t worry.. . we’re jamming every alternate week. So stay tuned and keep rocking!
