Pune needed a little love from Live: A Gig. There have been some exceptional shows in the city but with little or no coverage compared to other cities. So, with the help of our little friend Armaan, we decided to show some love to Pune and cover The Stormfest : Anniversary!

With a lineup consisting of Ephemeral, Knights & Circles, Orcus, Ragnhild, Consecration; alongside the mind blasting giants - Providence from Mumbai and RSJ Metal Awards 2014 award magnets The Down Troddence, we had the feeling that the gig was going to be massive even before the gig started!

Here's how it all went down -


Just to be on the safe side, we decided to warn our followers that we aren't responsible for what happens from the evening :P

#NewsAlert: @burmakutti will be taking over #liveagig to give you updates from The Stormfest, #Pune, supported by @pepsimtvindies, today!

Knights & Circles were up next, and they surely didn't disappoint!

Next up - Orcus. And when the kid says shit is getting serious, he meant it. The engines were rolling at full capacity and it was hardly halfway through the gig! Covering Gojira is one hell of an achievement!

Providence! Need I say more?

Some real, true and non-photoshopped hair glory advertisement. These shampoo companies should consider changing their high profile models to metalheads for better marketing!

This is why we all love long hair. Chaos all round #Providence #Liveagig #Pune pic.twitter.com/Mc2vk4BQvy

Slipknot!

Now its @slipknot . Why are #Providence so heavy? #Liveagig #Pune

Providence end their set with Watch them fall. #Pune @pepsimtvindies #Stormbringerfest #Liveagig

The Down Troddence! You have chick magnets, these guys are award magnets. One of the highly awarded bands in the country at this moment ready to decimate Pune with their set. And they did it in style!

#Pune is ready for @downtroddence . Are you? #Liveagig

KFC is the secret to TDT's vocalists deep growls :P

I like kfc. #Liveagig @downtroddence #Pune

They play Roots Bloody Roots and the camera image quality goes down to the decade of Kodak roll films! Divine intervention? :O

The Down Troddence ended with a flavour of their own awesomeness and then it was time to sail off to the medieval period for some Viking Metal with Ragnhild, who could only play one song due to time constraints it seems

After Nagavalli and Shiva,we had the very interesting #Ragnhild. 'Viking' Metal with programmed drums. #Liveagig #Pune

And with that, our little friend Armaan signed off. But before leaving, he did tweet this little tweet of encouragement :')

Despite time issues, #Stormbringer made the gig memorable. #Pune has the right amount of talent and enthusiasm. #Liveagig #Pune

Pune has been really supportive to their local scene in recent times. With more and more gigs being organissed in the city, we at Live: A Gig wish them all the best for the long run. And needless to say, we would love to come back and show some more love to the scene ;)
