Alternative Sundays from the inception was not going to ever be another once a month gig where you just watch an act or band, have a good time and go home. it was about creating a community that was all about supporting talent from the homeland, regardless of identity and social factors.

It was all about bridging genres and fans, bringing people together for the kind of art that’s meant to be appreciated! Over the few months, we’ve created a family and one of those members is Ruban – Here’s his take on the series…..

“It’s been a great experience, being a part of Alternative Sundays from gig one, The show that started off with a few bands and a small crowd, has now emerged into one huge event all together!

“Being an Audio Engineer and a drummer by profession whilst specializing as an F.O.H and fold back engineer for the last 15 years,  the experience I’ve gained during the last 5 rounds of the series is something that I’ve never had any place else as its always been one of continuous growth; It always feels so good to see young talent from home being given the freedom and upliftment to perform and express!, it’s a privilege to work with so many outstanding bands and acts who dabble in various genres such as Pop, Rock, Dubstep, Metal,  R&B and Rock N Roll; Kudos to the organizers (Anil Balasuriya and Yazmin Yousuf) for encouraging the talent of the land with possibly the best platform, that is Alternative Sundays” – Ruban Balakrishnan (Official Sound Engineer For Alternative Sunday)
