This platinum selling band was here early this year as the headlining artist for the first ever Vh1 India Rock Rules series of concerts. And now the Aussie rock band returns with their first live album, in fact recorded in a single performance, in a bluestone church in Melbourne in May.

"It was more of a chance to showcase what we can sound like when you take all the glitter off, the way it was for us in the beginning," says lead singer Jason Singh. The USP of the band includes return of original member Dan Hall, who co-wrote two brand new tunes for the performance, and Led Zeppelin/ Tea Party associate Rob John on board which lend a distinctly eastern weight and grace to new tunes and Top 10 hits alike.

"Working with Rob was terrific cause he put an angle on it, he helped us swing the songs in an eastern direction.

We had that idea from the outset but it was nice to reintroduce that cross-cultural angle, especially the Indian traditional vibe we want to get involved with," says the band.
