Waaahhhh .... I wanna go back to being in Bandwidth ! Nice pics, huh? Those were awesome times. The pic of Waddu, the Paper contained the prize we won: Rs. 1500 or something. Best freakin band.
look at us on the road ...aawww thats cho schhwwwwweett.
What I really love about the pics is that you're there playing all instruments: drums, bass, guitars and now you're doing vocals !!
Cool snaps dude ! We all loved Bandwidth. Ankush's HINDI songs, Lele's ENGLISH songs specifically Creed, Mukerji's lyrics, Karan's guitaars, and your PRESENCE in the band ! :)
