ALBATROSS 7.8 Rock the Rubble Benifit Concert: Rocked Nepalese in Minnesota
September 20th, 2015 Saint Paul, Minnesota.
The stage was set for the Albatross Nepalese fans at +Bedlam Lowertown. With weeks of preparation for this concert by the Association of Nepalese in Minnesota, the crowd was excited to see a Nepalese band perform this far from home. People from across the state and some even out of state reached out to experience the performance of Albatross.
Having toured Australia and UK already, it was time for Albatross to perform in the United States. And they did a good job with their exhilarating performance, exciting the crowd with their hit songs. The band is currently touring USA. The concert included songs from their recent album Ma Ra Malai which included Manav Nai Danav, Garikhana Deu, and more, and songs from previous albums Timi Bhane, Aawaz and more. 7.8 Rock the Rubble benefit concert was also in support for the earthquake victims in Nepal. It also included T-shits and goodies for purchases for the earthquake relief fun.

Albatross was previously supposed to play in +SXSW, South by Southwest music festival in Austin, Texas but then the Earthquake happened and the unforeseen circumstances prevented them from performing there. Hopefully they might be able to perform in +SXSW 2016 and become the first Nepali band to do so.
Their next tour is on October and information about the tour for Dallas can be found here: Albatross "Gari Khana Deu" Dallas 2015.
Further information about their US tour can be found here: Albatross Gari Khana Deu US tour 2015.
For those Nepalese in the tour area, do enjoy the concert. You'll definitely like it.

What do you want for your Butta?
Creativity has taken over this generation. Right now you can find lots of creative stuffs all around you. With this creative mind comes Butta.Butta is a platform for art lovers who wants to show their own designs in different apparels.Sabin Bhandari, the co-founder of Threadpaints and Butta along with his team came up with the idea for Butta. He says:
Through Butta we want designers to focus on what they love which is creating art, and let us worry about manufacturing, printing, marketing, logistics and all other back-office works. For their contribution for the design, they get 50% of the profit on each sales of the product.
Designers can choose the product for the design, the colors and even set the sales price of the product themselves.
Before Butta, Threadpaints had been running for over 2 years. With focus on custom-designed T-shirt and hoodies, the demand for self-created designs became evident. Thus, the need for separate custom T-shirt shore gave rise to Butta.
Since Butta is crowd-sourced, anyone can post their designs. However, inappropriate content and copyrighted, copied materials used in the design would be filtered. Designers will post their designs with their choice of the product and it will be available to the public for view and order. The product will only go into production once it has reached 20 pre-orders.
After the devastating Earthquake, Butta has come up with #TshirtsForRelief non-profit campaign which was launched almost 3 months ago with a target of donating 1 crore rupees to PM's Disaster Relief Fund through the sales of the T-shirt. It was launched in a joint-association of companies like Threadpaints, +nLocate , 3H Management, Percoid, HPR Nepal. All the sales of custom-designed T-shirts for Rs. 600 are donation funds.
Mr Bhandari adds:
The whole campaign was voluntary and completely non-profit. Everybody contributed what they could. Similarly, designers contributed their designs. This is where Butta helped bridged the gap between designers and the campaign. Butta acted as a platform for design collection as well as a platform to showcase the T-shirts with the designs.
Currently, Butta is accessible to Nepal only for now but since it is an open platform, they've not ruled out the option for people outside Nepal. The primary focus is to promote local designers and locally-manufactured products. Anyone, who is interested in digital designing and wearing custom-designed products, Butta might be the right place for you.
