This was the biggest show we did, which was in Hyderabad, India. We don’t always get to look like such complete rock stars… most of the shows on that tour were to crowds of 300 to 500. But this was pretty big, so we put together this video.

And yes… It was as much fun as it looks. Here you go!

(We’re such romantics…)

And as it happens, that’s the song that got done first, and we wanted to release it into the wild.  So, here it is… The Gap Theory’s ‘So Much For Love’.

India’s population is about 80% Hindu and 15% Muslim, so we weren’t certain how we’d be received. But as we hoped, it turns out being an american rock band is a big deal there, and we found a great audience for our music, stories, and spiritual discussion.

There were several settings where we were asked (and allowed) to share openly about our faith, and to extend an invitation for people to begin a relationship with Christ. In those cases, we saw about 40 percent of our audiences indicate that they had either made a decision to trust Christ (about 400 people made that decision), or that they wanted to talk more with someone about God.

Getting to play for thousands of people is great fun. But we’re all about connecting people to a radical message of hope, redemption and love. To see 40% of your audience respond to that? I’ll do that all day. Every day. And I don’t care where in the world I have to go to do it.

So – we had a great time, and we’ll have more video up soon. In the mean time, here’s a song from one of the shows we played in Hyderabad:

Our Indian hosts tell us that they have 10-12 shows arranged; one is a partnership with the Billy Graham organization. They are excited that we’ll be able to play to many many thousands of people.

We’ll also do a public show in the Indy area next Friday.

Here’s a video of us doing a new song called ‘So Much For Love’ in rehearsals.
