Ahymsa @ The Fiddlers Elbow 05/09/2008

This is my first post. It's some shots of Ahymsa at the Fiddlers Elbow at one of the Mantra nights they put on (05/09/2008).

Ahymsa play an energetic mix of styles that can be herded in the pen of rock. Psych....stoner....retro....I dunno exactly what to call it but they play it with passion, long hair and a sense of urgency and put on a good show. They list a broad range of influences on their MySpace page that clearly (for those I'm familiar with) come through in their music. The guitar playing front man and singer rocks out on his tip-toes, the bass player remains cool with an open shirt, the drummer sweats more with each furiously executed fill and the rhythm guitarist and keyboard player effortlessly switches between her instruments.
