Quite a few eyebrows are raised when people hear the name of the band, (Sometimes 1, usually 2, and in the case of the 42 eyed space demons from Quazgar V, 42...)

That's because it admittedly sounds like garbled nonsense. It's also pretty close to 'Belch', which really isn't what we're going for at all.

So when Rishi mentioned the band name, I had to find out what it means-

Google asks me if I'm looking for 'bleach'.
I'm not.

Wiki has this to say-
A blech (from the German by way of Yiddish word for tin or sheet metal) is a metal sheet used by many observant Jews to cover stovetop burners (and for some, the knobs/dials too) on Shabbat (the Jewish Sabbath), as part of the precautions taken to avoid violating the halachicprohibition against cooking on the Sabbath.

In true Wiki style, I barely have an idea WTF they just said. It's metal...so that's kinda awesome...but it's used for cooking on Sundays so that they aren't breaking some code and...no, not that awesome anymore.

Screw that, not like they know anything, I'll go check Urban Dictionary-
and I get-




blech89 up, 25 down love it hate it

A) a sound used to describe boredom, or mediocrity;
B)to find something wholly offensive as to want to throw up to purge the sensation from the mind and/or body;
C) average
Rachel and Jonny are sitting on a couch. Rachel asks Jonny what he's feeling. Jonny replies, "Blech."
Uhh...not that great, lets try-

Blecha
6 thumbs up love it hate it

A indescribable feeling of wierdness. Not really understanding how you feel, but knowing that it's a bad feeling. Comparable to icky.
"Argh.. I feel so blecha right now.."


A little better, I'd say...here's something better.


blechism
8 up, 1 down love it hate it

A religion started about the belief in a higher being without dogma.
Oh, yeah, Blechism? That belief in a god that doesn't need to hear your prayer to know you are worthy? I'm converting.

You gotta love how they spell 'Froydn Slip'...

But that's besides the point.

Right so , yeah, BLECH is playin with Froydn Slip thats pretty obvious.

Where? not just jazz by the bay (marine drive: last time a couple of our friends almost went to the other end of town, couldn't read you see)

When? 5th November.

Time? starts roundish 10 ends roundish 1:15, froyd goes first. why? because you dont know what ur missing these days. what you need to know

Blech : mumbais all original grunge/alternative act, whose name still makes no sense but is fun to say, may be new but have failed to disappoint; well that's what all the people (around 10) who sprained their necks while head banging in our last gig said. fronted by the unnecessarily spontaneous Rishi Bradoo this band will keep that foot snapping till it drops, rolls over and plays dead.

Check out the event on Facebook and don't forget to RSVP.

Orange

Starting it of with an Original composition, This is 'Orange'. Lyrics by Rishi B, and they change as he sees fit. Which sometimes means the same song holds a different message every time we play it.

This particular rendition was from the gig at Not Just Jazz By The Bay at Churchgate. Gig Calendar's gonna be up soon so that you know when n where the next performance is going to be.
