What if, you could create a fantasy band, but with one condition - dead members only!? This episode is so spontaneous that we didn't even discuss it! Go try it with your friends, it's super fun. This is also an opportunity to dig out the archives and give it another listen. Our way to give some respect to their body of work. We create our own "band of the dead", then reveal it live during the recording and also 'name' the band. To make things more interesting, if the band doesn't contain a female member, we need to replace one artist from our band for a female artist. Also, we spontaneously decided to create another band live that we both could agree on.  Thanks for the support.  #diminishedvibes #podcast #Whatif #hypothetical #band #dead #members #scenes #music #indianpodcast #musicpodcast Facebook / Instagram / Twitter - @diminishedvibes
