Blues Conscience
Blues Conscience is a blues trio from Chennai that was started in 2008 by Anek Ahuja, Aum Janakiram and Neil Smith, for the sole purpose of promoting the blues in today’s rock and metal influenced live music culture. As a 3-piece outfit, their roots go deep into some of the greats that have played the blues such as B.B.King, Buddy Guy, Jimi Hendrix, Cream, Eric Clapton and Stevie Ray Vaughan, to name a few.
They provide a fully suited up act, retaining every essence of the blues while also performing renditions of their own such as Kamasutra, Shaggin Ma Dog and Barack Obama. Often called a “feel good band" that is constantly engaging the audience with the right energy, they are a band like no other.”
On the bass and vocals is Anek Ahuja, Aum Janakiram on guitars/vocals and Neil Smith on the drums.

Famous quotes containing the words blues and/or conscience:
“Holly Golightly: You know those days when you’ve got the mean reds?
Paul: The mean reds? You mean like the blues?
Holly Golightly: No, the blues are because you’re getting fat or maybe it’s been raining too long. You’re just sad, that’s all. The mean reds are horrible. Suddenly you’re afraid and you don’t know what you’re afraid of.”
—George Axelrod (b. 1922)
“As for conforming outwardly, and living your own life inwardly, I do not think much of that. Let not your right hand know what your left hand does in that line of business. It will prove a failure.... It is a greater strain than any soul can long endure. When you get God to pulling one way, and the devil the other, each having his feet well braced,—to say nothing of the conscience sawing transversely,—almost any timber will give way.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
