Jayan the Travel Agent[Vocals]Currently Retired and in Dubai was

Replaced

By

Glen Gill Banks [Vocals]in Later Years. Currently in Norway as a Priest I think

Ravi The Lawyer [Rhythm Guitar].Still a Lawyer in Cochin.

Krishnan The Transport Owner [Drums].Currently enjoying retired life in Cochin.

John Anthony The Only Professional Musician[Lead Guitarist].Now in Chennai and the Maestro of ‘kARNATRiiX’.

Radha Krishnan The Classical Musician[Base Guitar].Currently a Music Director in Cochin.

And Captain B.K Iyer Alias Kuttan who also filled in blanks when both singers were missing.Still in Cochin feeling young and Playing Music with Youngsters in Hotels in Cochin.

Capt. Iyer has been part of this scene for more than 30 years now and has even done research on its history. He was earlier associated with bands like `Hijackers’ and `2B3C’, which incidentally, is the shortened version for “2 Brahmins and 3 Christians”. “Talent, a place to practice, good contract, thorough dedication, love for music and at least the bare minimum of instruments,” is what Capt. Iyer lists out as requirements to form a band.


The Band Played Only Covers Those Days.They didn’t have a Choice!!!


This is one of the Rare Recordings Done in “HMV” Recording Studios in Mount Road Chennai.

Recording was done by my Guru Mr.Raghu and assisted by Mr.Jolly Abraham, now doing Gospel Music

The Same came out as an H.M.V-45 RPM -Record-I think it was given away as complimentary copy to many people.

A few days back someone a Good Samaritan sent this to Johny via Mail.

It is my duty and Honor to upload it here.

May Hari’s soul rest in peace!!!!



P.S:

1]This was recorded on a old Valve Mixture with a 4 Track 1/4 Inch Spool tape Recorder.Then sent to Calcutta for Waxing and then cut as a 45 RPM record.

2]I still remember the mixture and Ragu playing tricks on it.

3]I think after “Human Bondage”,"Hijackers" were the Second in India to release their own 45 RPM Record.

Thanks To Johnny once Again.You have set the trend on, let us see how many are going to send their collection of “Hijackers” live on stage!!!

'I had to choose between either my luggage or my life' 28 Nov 2008, 0116 hrs IST, TNN

---

MUMBAI: "He had the look of a man who was trained to be emotionally unattached. But he looked highly intelligent, well educated and professional. He even had a very innocent face,'' said Rama Sedhu, 53, who was at the long-distance train terminus at CST when the terrorists began shooting on Wednesday night. Sedhu was with three other friends waiting for the Chennai Mail to take them home. On Thursday, they remained stranded at the station, their baggage lost. "I was trapped for about 15 minutes before I could flee. The terrorist looked no more than 25 years old, was around five feet in height, wore no mask and was very fair. He had shortish hair and was lean. He wore dark clothes,'' said S Nagraj. "I had to choose between my luggage or my life. We don't even have any identification on us and can't travel back.''

---

---

When the firing began, Sedhu lay on the floor to protect himself while Nagraj fled in a few minutes. "The gunman changed the magazine in his gun thrice and pumped bullets into everyone in sight. He was expressionless. There were about 60 bodies all around and I thought Sedhu had died too,'' said Nagraj. Sedhu said that as he lay watching the scene unfold, he became angry at his own helplessness. "Some of the police were targeted while the others ran away. People were frozen in fear and there was pin-drop silence all around, except for the shooting,'' he said.

---

---

Re-fresh, the recently opened food court, was sprayed with at least 17 bullets, which shattered its glass walls. A bullet also hit Mukesh Agarwal, uncle of the proprietor, seriously injuring him. Riyaz Khan, the manager, looked on from the mezzanine floor. He said he didn't notice the gunmen until a hand grenade exploded. Khan said that the restaurant and parcel depot staff transported several victims to hospital. "I haven't eaten since last night and I don't have an appetite. I went home this morning and am back on duty even though my wife asked me not to go,'' said Khan on Thursday afternoon.

---

---

The men said it was an experience they won't be able to get over for a very long time. Sedhu, who is a sound and recording consultant and rubs shoulders with movie directors down South, is considering making a movie.

Strength Of A Man And His Duties

STRENGTH OF A MAN

The strength of a man isn`t seen in the width of his shoulders.


It`s seen in the width of his arms that encircle and protect you.


The strength of a man isn`t in the deep tone of his voice.


It is in the gentle words he whispers.


The strength of a man isn`t in the words he speaks.


It`s in how he keeps his word.


The strength of a man isn`t how many buddies he has.


It`s how good a buddy he is with his or "your" children.


The strength of a man isn`t in how respected he is at work.


It`s in how he is respected at home.


The strength of a man isn`t in how hard he hits.


It`s in how tender he touches.


The strength of a man isn`t in the hair on his chest.


It`s in his heart....that lies within his chest.


The strength of a man isn`t in how many women he`s loved.


It`s in whether he can be true to the ONE woman he`s trying to love.


The strength of a man isn`t in the weight he can lift.


It`s in the burdens he can carry.


The strength of a man isn`t in how much food he eats from your table.


It`s in the effort he puts forth when you are unable.


The strength of a man isn`t in how he makes love.

It`s in the understanding that there is more to making love......than making love.


A strong man puts God first; family second;

and his work third.

The Latest News On LBG

January 27th,

Republic Day 'FreedomJam', Pondicherry

After spending 2 months in the studio recording their 2nd Album 'Bad
Children' & 2 months of Gigging, The band was quite enjoying the peace and
quiet. BUT EVERYONE WAS READY TO ROCK once again when ‘Missing’ Maynard calls and says "Let's Play A SHOW".

LBG get booked by Pondicherry Tourism to perform by the port for 'Freedom Jam'.

The Department of Tourism had authorized 6 venues to be used to celebrate
republic day with music covering all genres ie: Indian Classical, Jazz & Rock.

It was an outdoor venue, Pretty big stage(when compared to the last venues), so
Lots of place to jump and that was something the band had been dying to do for a
long time. The other bands opening were Some Death Metal college band and 'Sevened'.

The show got delayed due to lack of crowd so only started at 8:00. The first
band played some Sepulture, Panthera & some of their own stuff. That’s when
whatever crowd that had come, started to leave. So the organizers had to ask
them to stop. The next band ‘Sevened’ were smooth covering Steely Dan, Rush,
Gary Moore & a couple of their originals.

So the crowd started coming back. NextUp was LBG all fired up to play a solid show. The crowd got instantly into the groove as LBG treated Pondy for the third time to Wrong & Revolution from the first album, followed by their 'Bad Children' set. After the 4th song LBG stray away from their set performing the much awaited song 'Money' (again from their first album).

The band was sadly informed that they could only play 2 more songs because it
was getting late and the cops were going to shut them down. It was then I saw
some one next to get up and go running towards the police. The Band played 2
songs Soma and had planned on ending with 2 Frequencies. It was during the song that the band Got the 'thumbs up' finish the set on one condition (from the
Cops) that 'Money' was played again (heh hehe Kick Ass!!). The request was
obliged and the Band finished their set, ending with everyone singing till the
last chorus!!

LITTLE BABOOSHKA’S GRIND:

THE ORIGINAL BAD CHILDREN LBG have been around for about 6 years and is one of the pioneers of performing original music in Chennai.

What is LBG about?

"Wedon’t care if people can’t accept our music because it doesn't sound like growling dogs banging your head with a ratchet or a cover that you can listen to from your mp3 collection"Love uz, hate uz: we will not let you ignore uz!”-LBG

After the ‘Bad Children’ release , LBG were approached by MatchBox Studios, agreeing to professionally manage the band . Shiran, (Former Senior ORP Producer of SS Music) believes that they have what it takes and with

The Rising South

The Rising South is a string of live performances that LBG has been/ will be organizing in and around Chennai originally started as a part of the band’s tsunami relief and now taking on a higher purpose to
promote original music and original bands.

The Rising South concept essentially revolves around the idea of promoting meritorious original music and musicians distributed over South India. In the past a score of promo events had been organized in and around the city of Chennai and the concept is now ready to be taken on board a higher platform.

In keeping with recent trends among musicians and the mass audience represented by the ever increasing fan base for original Indian rock music, the Rising South provides the perfect dais for bringing excellent original music into the foreground and at the same time serve as a distinctive arena for sending out messages to the vast target
