S-Endz live with Swami at Ginger 62, Vancouver, Canada – 1st July 2010
Photographer – Jeremy Lim

OK, so I’m kind of bending the rules a little bit. Technically this picture isn’t a “Throwback” as such. It was only taken 6 weeks ago in Vancouver, Canada, on the first date of our “Sugarless Tour 2010″. You can read more about how our tour went, see videos, pics, etc, at our official band website.

But it’s a great shot – much props to Jeremy Lim who took lots of great photos of the show that night. This guy is a beast behind the lens – don’t sleep. In fact, I personally asked him to come to the show and take photos of us after seeing photos he took of the band Delhi 2 Dublin who happen to be good friends of ours.

In this day and age where everybody has a cameraphone, and we get inundated with numerous photos taken from fans, far away from the stage, where you can just about make out who’s who, it’s refreshing to see someone take their craft so seriously.

On Episode 10 of their podcast – Curry Smugglers Sachin and Paresh interview none other than the neofunk soldier himself, S-Endz. Check out the interview below!
