MOLOTOV
COCKTAIL AT THE WHISTLE STOP CAFE
From hip-swinging to head banging, it was a music lover's day out
when the city's most happening band, 'Molotov Cocktail', performed
to a mixed audience on a humid evening at the 'Whistle Stop Cafe'.
The event was organised by Explocity.com under its new entertainment
banner 'Explocity.com Live'.
 Molotov
Cocktail kicked off the show with some smooth jazz classics like,
'Autumn Leaves', 'Summer time' and 'All the way' followed by a few
of Sting's hit numbers, 'Every breath you take' and
'Desert rose'. The vocals by Ruheen Ashok, a new inclusion
to the band was simply spectacular, so were the slick solo runs
on the fretboard by David Fernandez.
The crowd went rapturous when Arjun Thomas, the lead vocalist
for the band played the psychedelic number, 'Hotel California'
by Eagles with some sweeping notes on the guitar by Shaun
Roberts and David Fernandez, complementing each other with the
right notes perfectly well. This was followed by some real hip swinging
numbers like, Ricky Martin's 'She Bangs' and Peter
Andre's 'Mysterious Girl', when the open air lawn was
transformed into a dance floor with the crowd shaking a leg or two.
 The
evening ended with some rock classics like, 'Knocking on heaven's
door' and a few ballads. Altogether, the evening was a heady
mix of some great music, great drinks(a non-alcoholic brew specially
prepared for the invitees, called 'Molotov Mocktail') followed by
some great meditteranean food at the cafe.
'This is just the first show we have organised in Chennai, we plan
to bring more of such events, ranging from theatre to jazz, said,
Anitha Santhanam, Manager, Strategy and Marketing, Explocity.com.
So, Chennaites can look out for more of such events in future.
