Time when Indu (Indresh Pathak) got placed in Accenture, we were mentally preparing ourselves to carry on and come up with plans for a new drummer. We had hope that there must be a few good drummers in Graphic Era university, so we started posting on facebook and all to let our situation in everyones knowledge. Our bands posters on the walls was something we always wanted to see but the sad part was, we had to paste them ourselves. So " Drummer Needed " poster sort of things were all over the college walls. Our contact was mentioned on it, soon we started getting calls and entries. Now we needed a place to conduct the auditions, that is the time when we first met Pranay Kapoor, yes sounds celebrity. He had his own house which was under construction that time but good enough for us to take the Auditions. We called up the guys who were in for auditions one by one. Few were good, more were pathetic, some lost in there own thoughts while we were waiting for them to play, some wanted us, to be better, up to their imaginary insane level some, looked to professional in everything except drumming, some played only on hindi songs, all over we were very disappointed as till many days we didn't find the guy we needed.
Morning time, we get a call
" Hello Crystal Heads ???, I am Jonathan Paul, can I come for the drummers audition thing going on ??
He was the last to call and we have never heard of him before, so we called him up.
We had no Idea that he was not only into music but a Keyboard genius, guitar genius too and was already playing keyboards for a kickass band of Dehradun called Rudranath. Though he was not good with drums but still better than most of the people who gave auditions more over we had no other option left and were convinced that we can work upon him, we didn't tell him anything and went to drop him to his house because it was next to KFC :D.
I don't understand what screamo animal comes out from inside when we are riding bikes together, and i think its the same with all most everyone, so we were shouting like anything and the new guy Jonathan was sitting silent behind one of us trying to be funny with his PJ's (ha ha ha sorry Johny). We thought he was a very decent calm guy who thinks he can play drums, later we saw him playing with Rudranath many time, turns out he was not what we have thought. After a few days we became good friends and he told us that he came for the auditions just to see how good we were. That very moment we were jaw dropped.
Now he is one of our favourite pal to hang around with, did many shows together as Crystal Heads and The Evangelion Project.
