Night of The Living Dead - Movie Screening in Mumbai and Hyderabad
George A. Romero's 1968 classic "Night of the Living Dead" is more than just a horror film; it's a manifesto for the modern horror genre. This landmark film took inspiration from the racial and political strife of late-60s America and created what has been described as "a vérité nightmare which overturned the conventions of fantastical horror."
Romero did more than just shift the genre's setting from gothic castles to the Pennsylvania countryside; he ushered in a new era of horror cinema, transitioning from the classic to the modern.
Starting in a cemetery, with nods to classic horror icons like Vincent Price and Universal Monsters, it lulls you into familiarity before abruptly thrusting you into a stark new world of apocalyptic horror.
The shift is palpable as the protagonist, Barbara, flees from a classic horror movie into a modern nightmare.
The film's impact is furthered by the arrival of the protagonist, Ben, played by Duane Jones when opportunities for black actors were limited. Ben and Barbara find themselves besieged in a remote farmhouse, attempting to fortify it against a horde of flesh-eating zombies.
But what truly sets "Night of the Living Dead" apart is its portrayal of zombies as flesh-eating beings, symbolizing a society devouring itself from within.
This allegory of societal decay became a central metaphor in modern apocalyptic horror.
The film's narrative unfolds almost in real time, compressing the apocalypse into a single night, leaving both characters and viewers to witness the moment when history collapses. It's like watching a big bang in reverse, as life diminishes at a rapid rate until there is nothing left of the world we once knew on screen.
"Night of the Living Dead" remains a cultural touchstone for its independent cinema success story and its fearless blending of gruesome horror with acute social commentary. It challenged the norms of its time and paved the way for modern horror.
On October 13th (Friday), we are hosting a screening session of this genre-defining classic at Records Coffee in Mumbai and Katha Coffee in Hyderabad from 9 PM to 11 PM.

The Indian Comics Festival - The Comic Book Store x The Revolver Club x House of Pandora
Comics have been central to pop culture for over a century, evolving from colorful escapism to a powerful medium for social commentary and artistic exploration.
Their iconic characters and universes have inspired literature, art, and cosplay, as well as blockbuster films and TV shows.
Comics culture fosters vibrant communities where enthusiasts share their passion, shaping trends and inspiring generations.
In India, it began in the mid-20th century with publishers like Amar Chitra Katha imparting traditional values and knowledge through mythological tales and historical narratives.
In the 1980s and 1990s, it expanded to include superheroes, detective stories, and social themes, with characters like Chacha Chaudhary, Nagraj, and Suppandi gaining popularity. The digital age brought further transformations, with webcomics and graphic novels gaining popularity, allowing for more experimental storytelling.
Today, Indian comics address contemporary issues, embrace innovative art styles, and diversify characters and narratives, reflecting India's progress and creating a vibrant and culturally resonant comic book culture.
Join us on 7th October 2023 at House Of Pandora (Bandra) for the inaugural edition of the annual Indian Comics Festival.

Jazz Kissa #10: Japanese Jazz Curated by Ravi Rajagopalan
Jazz made its way to Japan during the 1920s, introduced through a combination of records and visits from American musicians. However, it remained relatively niche until after World War II, when Japan found itself under United States occupation.
Throughout the war, jazz faced suppression, seen as a symbol of Western cultural influence, which was discouraged at the time. In fact, it was even labeled as “enemy music.” Despite these efforts, the genre’s popularity had grown too substantial for a complete ban to succeed.
The records and instruments brought by American servicemen left a heavy influence on Japan’s local music scene which sparked the emergence of jazz clubs and dance halls in cities like Tokyo and Yokohama, catering to both Japanese and American audiences.
The 1950s marked the inception of the Japanese jazz scene, with musicians like Sadao Watanabe and Toshiko Akiyoshi gaining recognition both within Japan and internationally.
Japanese jazz artists began fusing traditional Japanese elements with jazz, giving birth to a unique fusion known as “J-Jazz.”
As the 1960s and 70s rolled in, acts like Isao Suzuki and Masabumi Kikuchi pushed the genre’s boundaries. Japanese jazz also witnessed the rise of avant-garde and free jazz movements, with artists such as Kaoru Abe and Masayuki Takayanagi experimenting with unconventional and improvised sounds.
The 80s witnessed a surge in Japanese jazz’s popularity, with artists like Hiroshima and Casiopea gaining international recognition.
By the 1990s, jazz artists began incorporating elements of fusion, electronic, and world music. Musicians like Toshiko Akiyoshi, who led her big band in the United States, and virtuoso pianist Hiromi Uehara showcased Japan’s prominent role in contemporary jazz.
This Saturday (9th September), we are hosting the 10th edition of the TRC #JazzKissa at Abode Bombay in Colaba. From 5 PM to 7 PM, we’ll be playing iconic Japanese jazz curated by Mr. Ravi Rajagopalan. Don’t miss!

A Day At The Record Store + Black Sabbath Listening Session
Black Sabbath, formed in Birmingham, England in 1968, is an iconic heavy metal band that laid the foundation for the entire genre.In 1968, while under the name Earth, the band faced a conflict with another group using the same name.
As a result, they decided to change their name; inspired by a 1963 horror film titled "Black Sabbath".With the name change, Black Sabbath started incorporating darker, heavier sounds into their music, which led to the creation of the distinct heavy metal style that would become their trademark.
The band released their debut self-titled album in 1970 giving birth to heavy metal as a genre; however, it was their second album 'Paranoid', released in the same year catapulted them into mainstream success.
With its sludgy guitar tones and contemplative lyrics, their third album 'Master of Reality' laid the groundwork for other sub-genres of metal music such as doom, sludge and stoner metal.

International Blues Music Day: Saturday Night Blues at Records.Coffee (Bandra)
Blues music emerged in the African-American communities of the Southern United States in the late 19th century. It served as a poignant outlet for expressing their feelings, struggles, and aspirations, rooted in the experience of hardship and sorrow.
The genre's origins can be traced back to spirituals, work songs, and field hollers, which evolved into the distinctive 12-bar blues structure.
Blues music is known for its soulful vocals and the use of instruments like guitar, harmonica, and piano, touching on themes of heartbreak, loss, loneliness, injustice, resilience, and hope.
In the early 20th century, blues found its way into recording studios, with artists like W.C. Handy, Bessie Smith, and Robert Johnson popularizing the genre.
It significantly influenced other genres such as jazz, rock 'n' roll, and rhythm and blues.
The blues reached its peak in the 1950s and 1960s, with electrified instruments and amplification creating a bolder and more versatile sound.
Legends like Muddy Waters, B.B. King, and Howlin' Wolf brought the blues to the mainstream and inspired musicians worldwide.
International Blues Music Day (IBMD) was initiated on August 17, 2011, through an online petition. It gained massive support from blues enthusiasts, musicians, celebrities, and promoters, leading to the establishment of an annual celebration on the first Saturday in August.
The initiative was the brainchild of blues musician Johnny Childs who serves as the President of the NYC Blues Society.
IBMD brings together blues enthusiasts, musicians, and communities worldwide, hosting concerts, workshops, and educational programs.
We are celebrating #InternationalBluesMusicDay this Saturday (5th August) at Records.Coffee in Bandra.
Enjoy Saturday night blues with jazz, soul and blues classics on records and special offers on cocktails. 7 PM onwards.

International Beer Day: Beer, Records and a Quiz | Hapi Beer x Bombay Quiz Club x TRC
The history of beer stretches back to ancient civilizations as far back as 5,000 BCE in Mesopotamia. It is believed that early humans stumbled upon the fermentation process accidentally when grains got wet and started to ferment, producing a mildly intoxicating beverage.
As civilizations developed, so did the techniques of brewing beer. Ancient Egyptians, Greeks, and Romans all had their versions of beer; often tying it to religious rituals and social gatherings.In the Middle Ages, monasteries became centers of brewing expertise, with monks refining brewing techniques and experimenting with new ingredients.
The Industrial Revolution marked a major turning point in beer production with the advent of mechanization and refrigeration. Brewing shifted from small-scale, local operations to large breweries capable of mass production and distribution.
In recent times, the craft beer movement has taken the world by storm. Craft brewers emphasize traditional methods, unique flavors, and quality ingredients.
This resurgence has led to an explosion of innovative beer styles and tastes, appealing to a wide range of beer enthusiasts.Today, beer has become a global phenomenon, deeply embedded in cultures worldwide.
From ancient fermentation discoveries to modern craft brewing, the evolution of beer continues, ensuring its place as a beloved and culturally significant beverage.
