Ladies and Gentlemen, we present to you “noori Live at the Rock Musciarium” : our very first release through our very own record label BIY records.

This project which started way back in February, after a few hiccups, has reached its last leg.

Not only are we super excited, we are also extremely proud of that fact that this has been achieved without a single sponsor!

At the same time, this couldn’t have been possible without support from a number of people:

First and Foremost we would like to thank our partners i.e. “Radio 1” and “the Rock” for helping make this a reality. Without their support, all this wouldn’t have been possible.

Then we would like to thank Kashif Ejaz for salvaging the concert recording and turning it into gold!

The video direction of Zeeshan Parwez has only added icing to this cake and we can’t thank him enough for doing so much for us so selflessly.

There are many other people whose names deserve mentioning, and many have been mentioned on the CD, but it’s time for us to stop here and share what we are putting out.

Our Live CD is out in stores nationwide, courtesy FRS international – our official distributor for Pakistan. The songs will also be available for online purchase in a few days, so keep checking up on us.

Check out the music video for Taaron Se Agay (Live at the Rock Musicarium) – directed by Zeeshan Parwez.

Also keep visiting our Facebook and Twitter pages for regular updates on promotional activities, competitions, signing sessions etc.

Lastly, all you noori fans out there, thank you very much for your support all throughout these years. Without you, we are not even half motivated to do what we do.

Love,

The entire noori team

OUR VERY OWN MOBILE APP!!

We told you we have something exciting in store for you guys and this is it for now with a lot more things to come!! With this app, we will keep in touch with our fans better than ever! You guys can save-the-date on our future concerts and also listen to our music on the soundcloud link on our app!

So far the app is in testing phase and is only available for download Android phones, but soon we’ll have it available for other platforms.

So go ahead and check out noori’s first ever mobile application.

And don’t forget to share your feedback and suggestions as to how we can make this a better experience for you.

As far as noori is concerned, they say that “it’s been an experience putting all this together (…) the band performed a concert of over two hours from which we had to cut out a CD of around 70 minutes max. Handling such a long timeline hasn’t been an easy task … pulling this off in a month was only possible because we have Kashif on board…”

Yes, there is a new addition to the noori team. His name is Kashif Ejaz and he’s one hell of an audio engineer. He has worked with some of the most well known names in the industry – starting from Shoaib Mansoor (Bol specifically), Hadiqa Kiani, Fariha Parwez – definitely check out his website and listen to the wonderful work he has done!
Kashif joined the “band wagon” at the Rock Musicarium gig. He will be noori’s audio guy for both live performances and studio recordings. The noori boys add: “What we love about him the most is that he genuinely loves his work – and that’s what made us click!”

And now, coming to the point….

The audio is ready for release, the release logistics are being worked out.

Since there is limited space on the CD, only selected songs from the concert will be part of it.

As a hype builder for the release, the band is sharing a special performance with their fans  – it’s an impromptu rendition of “Kuttay (Te Tho Uttay)”. The band hadn’t rehearsed this song, but the crowd demanded it so much, that they didn’t have any option. What they ended up jamming is something totally different from the way noori has been performing this song in the past.

Keep visiting this space as the date of release will be announced very soon!

The concert will also include a number of great performances by some of the best upcoming bands of the city including KATHARSIS, OVERDRIVE and THE ANARCHISTS.

“8 months of jamming, tensions, gigging, back-and-forths and all those crazy things that happen when a a band re-unites after 6 years…  Add to that the frustration and constant reminders by fans and critics as to when we will put out some new stuff!
The pressure WAS killing us…. But you know us, we would die before we put out something we aren’t satisfied with!!

…. So Now….

Dear Everyone,

We share with you “Taaron Se Agay”. A song Ali Noor had composed almost 12 years back and which sounds nothing like what it was 12 years ago!
We’ve been experimenting a lot with our sound lately and in the future you will get to see many sides of noori.
But for this first release, we had to go back to where we started from.
This is another anthem for the young at heart!
It talks about emancipation, about freedom and this time, instead of reaching for the stars,
Let’s Think About Going Beyond The Stars!!!

Hope you enjoy it …

Rock On!!
- noori”

We thought we would let the band do the talking this time.

From nooriworld, note the following:

There is month long campaign building up around this song.

Stay tuned to this space — Stay tuned to the Facebook and Twitter pages — Stay tuned to Radio 1 FM 91 (our exclusive media partners) — There are competitions, merchandise, fan interactions, and a huge concert…. don’t miss out on the upcoming fun!!

As of this moment, noori officially stands reunited to it’s original four-man line up; as it was at the launch of their debut album, Suno Ke Main Hun Jawan. Ali Noor and Ali Hamza on Vocals and Guitars, Mohammad Ali Jafri on Bass and Louis John Pinto II a.k.a Gumby on Drums. This is one of those rare moments in music history where all the dispersed original band-members get back together, and no doubt it must be celebrated. Hence, the ‘Gig Not To Be Missed‘!

But as we promised, we wouldn’t let those who missed out on being there to stay out of sync with the celebrations….

So all those fans who have been writing on our walls and website and sending us emails about reuniting, this is the perfect time to scream out that ‘Wooohooo’! … and any thing else you would like to say/do!

Over the next week we will be sharing something or the other about this Gig and the Reunion. So keep visiting this space.

As far as what’s in the future pipe-line? Of course it’s an album! A video or two before that… and straight away, live performances by the ‘Reunited noori’! But let’s keep that for later, for now Let’s Just Celebrate!
