Fragarak: Convulsion At Mainland Crypts (Day 3 and 4)

So you all saw pictures from Fragarak's first performance at Yangtze River International Music Festival in Zhenjiang. As much fun as these guys had in putting up the show, looking at the pictures I found the atmosphere of the festival to be totally electric (which it was according to Supratim) and totally wished that I was there. The surprising thing is, even though they don't have the whole social media network in their country, the word still spreads and people do turn out for the gigs. Good to know that lives and businesses still run without Facebook!

Now, it got a whole lot better when they traveled down to Shanghai for their second performance, which was at Asia Metal Festival in Shanghai. We only have pictures from the concert this time, but the band totally dig the most populated city in the world.

Here goes... Part II of Convulsion At Mainland Crypts

The hard to catch skyscrapers, in Shanghai

Our boys signing the official gig poster. A customary, and a huge gesture of respect from the organisers!

Chilling out at the venue, probably half wasted already by the looks of it :P

After a satisfying show. Thank you, Shanghai!

Have you seen the pictures from Day 1 and 2? You can find them here!

Fragarak: Convulsion At Mainland Crypts (Day 1 and 2)

So, we and the guys at Fragarak were all set to give you guys a live experience of their tour on our twitter accounts, but it turns out that China isn't that social media friendly altogether. Yes, no Facebook, no Twitter, no Instagram, no Gmail; hell even our site doesn't run there. All they have there is a shitty version of Google. Imagine what would you do without all this!

Anyways, we did manage to pull out a few pictures from China (thanks to Whatsapp), which we are going to share with you guys with no further delay...

So here goes... Part 1 of Convulsion at Mainland Crypts!

The majestic hotel where the band stayed, overseeing the great Yangtze river

Fragarak's first experience with authentic Oriental food. Now that looks yummy!

We couldn't let the band stay in a hotel next to Yangtze river and not ask a picture of it, could we?

Last minute checks, loading the artillery on to the tour bus

More crowd, more interaction

The guys couldn't just stop interacting with the crowd
