Speaking on which Demonstealer is doing a 3 city tour conducting an ESP Guitar Workshop and a Band Building Workshop. The band building workshop is a special initiative by Furtados to help amateur bands understand the music business and find the mantra for success. Demonstealer is the frontman of the band Demonic Resurrection who recently performed in Norway at the Inferno Festival and just inked a record contract with Candlelight Records in the UK, he also runs his own record label called Demonstealer Records. This workshop aims to educate bands on how the scene works abroad and how can an Indian band succeed in India as well as the west. So make sure you attend this.
