TV show in the UK, 2005


[YOUTUBE]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d7CdBqd-qGQ[/YOUTUBE]
live in France, there were 15,000 people there and we headlined....the audio on this has been resynced with the studio version though because the audio on the actual recording was all fuzzy.

​

were signed to Sony, weren't happy with them, now signed to Virgin Records, Olsen twins are big fans are personally chose one of our songs for their hollywood debut movie about 3 years back, we had a song in the official EA Sports Fifa World Cup 2006 video game on the PS2/xbox/xbox360/etc last year - in fact you can watch a live performance of that song from 2005 by clicking here

ummmmm headlined the MTV Style Awards in 2005 which was awesome, we did have the video on YouTube but it got pulled because MTV are suing YouTube. I'll try and find it later but I upped it on here back in the day when we did it so a lot of folks here will remember that video.

what else....Pras is on our new album as we share the same management......System of a Down are big fans of ours and invited us backstage to their gig where we chilled with them.........Some dance DJ's in the UK did a song with Q-Tip that ripped off one of our songs that had been released a year prior and they had a #1 song, so we sued them......here's our myspace...

think that's a general re-cap for you.

I know you get a lot of grief.... From me too....


But to be deadly honest... I like it... It's pretty good.

Chemical Brothers ripped off our song "Don't Hold Back" which came out in 2004, for their song "Galvanize" with Q-Tip that came out in 2005 and was a number 1. We sued them but it got to the point where legal fees would have cost more than any royalties we could claim.

Then those cheeky fuckers got their management to ask our management if my cousin would join their live set-up as a guitarist. He said fuck no, obviously.

Wow, that sucks. Sorry Milli.

Ok milly i almost missed this thread lol.

Let me watch all that and then i'll comment. Thanks for linking all that. Can i get a free copy of your album? :-D

 

[Farzin]

Haha the song afraid kinda reminded me of an electronic version of Rage Against the Machine.

What do you do other than rap? Do you produce any of this? Your cousin the guitarist seems very talented.

Why don't you guys drop the pakistani singing? Or do 2 different albums with one without the vocals? That's probably the only thing i don't liek so far. Nothing against Pakistani singing i just don't understand it and don't find it that soothing sounding to say the least.

So you guys do pretty much a range of different genres from what i gathered. Hook me up with more songs. I didnt really hear much.

 

[S O F I]

lmao at pakistani.

 

[Pittsey]

I like the Indian sound...

 

[Farzin]

The sounds yea but the singing? Really?

 

[Pittsey]

^^

Yeah


But I'm a multi-cultural kind of guy..

 

[Farzin]

^ahh i c well thats good then but personally i wasnt a fan of it but i like their sound.

 

[Casey]

The sounds yea but the singing? Really?

The singing is in Punjabi so it may sound foreign to you, but for anyone that has heard or listens to Bhangra music the actual quality of the singing is excellent, by that I mean that our vocalist Sups, his pitch and tone are really good, which is actually quite rare for a UK-born vocalist, UK-born Punjabi singers usually aren't great in comparison to the actual singers in Punjab.

But we're going to Punjab to tour in a month or so, so he must be shitting it lol. It's kinda like the equivalent of being a country singer and going to play in Nashville or being a MC and entering a battle in the Bronx. But I know he'll do good.

And actually, we are working on an English album. We've started off with doing an English version of our new single which you can hear by clicking here.

Yeah 'Afraid' was part of an album we re-recorded in 2006 that we never released. We ended up doing a whole new album. Basically the album that Afraid was part of, was like you said, we were pushing the boundaries and created a whole new sound that was a mixture of rap and rock with indian sounds, like a desi RATM.....unfortunately getting Indian kids in the UK to listen to rock is like pulling teeth. Some seriously great songs we did for that are currently on the backburner. But we are going to come back to it as we are working with a rock vocalist in Florida who is amazing, his old band did a few WWE theme songs. Launching that project in the US would be much easier as you are more open minded musically.

I produce, but I don't produce any of this stuff, my cousin does it all as he is probably the biggest British-Asian producer of all time (produced Shania Twain's last album that sold 15 million worldwide or so...)......and production-wise I'm just a rookie. Plus, he plays everything, drums, bass, guitar, keyboards, talkbox, mandolin, tumbi, etc etc etc etc.........he's incredibly talented and taught me everything I know about music pretty much, except how to rap since I've been doing that since I was 9 lol. I'm working on a solo project at the moment of which I am producing it all myself.

Can you stop calling it pakistani lol. It's obviously not. Although part of Punjab is in Pakistan. The official languages of Pakistan are Urdu and English, not Punjabi.

I'll up a few songs from our last album later on tonight.

 

[Farzin]

^Haha yea i am just fucking with you when i call it pakistani. I was waiting for thugstyle to come in here and freak out too but i guess he isnt around.

Its really too bad that such an album was scrapped. That's definitely something i would've listened to. Hope it works out. Send me some of those songs from that album ;-) i won't leak them.

As for the punjabi singing, "Hey hey" sounds so much better in the english version. I didnt say the punjabi singign was not of quality but that its not my personal taste.

Anyhow, send me some songs and from what i can see you guys are pretty decent.
