OFF the StreeT ~

Off the Street was our in-store, open floor jam session that served as a platform for some of Coimbatore's young, super talented , upcoming musicians and singers, it was 3 hrs of musical mayhem covering rock, pop, metal, random riffs and everything under sun and some more of the usual crowd favorites as the musicians bonded and made music that brought in a moving crowd of about 100 odd people, yes all in that tiny space outside our store :) , there was a 10% discount that day and freebies of appreciation were given out to all the musicians and singers who were dope enough to come do their own thing and obviously everyone loved them for it !
