***28th October 2006:
    After a long gap ( since 14th Feb' 2006 ), S. W got onstage on the final "Big Gig" of the 2 months long Yamaha RoXX fest' 2006 in Delhi. It was also the first time S.W played in Delhi since GIR- 6. Co-organised by RSJ, the concert was held at the prestigious Hamsadhwani O.T, Pragati Maidan...the same place where GIR takes place every year. Along with 4 other kick-ass bands from Mumbai and Delhi itself, S.W was set for the second slot on the rosterOther bands were Prestorika n' Oritus from Delhi and Scribe n' Bhayanak Maut from Mumbai.
   This was also the first time the band played outstation with a keyboard player in it's ranks. And the bass duties were handled well by a relatively newbie bassist Miwang Lepcha...possibilities of him joining S.W as a regular member are very high after his performance there!!! The move payed well as the band rocked all with some Maiden, Audioslave etc...along with their Originals of course.
Venue: UHamsadhwani Open Air Theater,
                                     Pragati Maidan, Delhi.
 
***20th September 2006:
    Immensly impressed with "Live A Little", GREENOZONE re-released the debut album "Such A Long Time..." online thru their website. It's absolutely free of charge in every aspect. Greenozone has already released quite a few great albums by other Indian rock bands in the same manner before. However, with this, Still Waters becomes the first band ever, from the north-east, to have an online release. Another major feather in the cap added to the long list of achievemants by the bad so far!!!
 
*** 04th September 2006:
  GREENOZONE.COM comes up with an online compilation album called "Awake and Arise", dedicated to the victims of the recent bomb-blasts in Mumbai. "Live a little" has been selected as S.W's contribution to the album. It's the first song on the album which also features their peers and well known Indian bands like "Them Clones" (Delhi) and "Cassini's Division" (Kolkata).
 
***14th February 2006:
 S.W  live in concert at the Misty Mountain Rock fest' with Parikrama(Delhi) and Cassini's Division (Kolkata). Organized by HOPE; the rehab' institute for the youth in/around Sikkim.
Venue: T. N. Academy, school playground.
The first gig ever in the absence of Suman Karthak, the original bassist. And sessions man, Tashi (from the band Mukti/Sikkim), "filling in" for him.
 
***28th January 2006:
Final verdict/confirmation regarding Suman's DEPARTURE from Stl_Wtrz'.
HUGE set-back upon the full-throttle agenda and progress of the band...big time! 
Reason(s): Un-disclosed!

            Mangan, North Sikkim.
Outcome:  Winner - Minor 7th/Darjeeling, Runner's Up S.W /Gangtok and 2nd Runner's Up - Q n' A/Darjeeling.
P.S: Not to sound sour or sumthn' but...with the newest member Prayash (Drummer) experiencing the pressure(s) of performing at his first competition ever; that too of this magnitude...25 great bands participating in one fest is no small feat by any standards...and resultantly  faltering slightly on his duty at the finals, the 2nd spot was worth settling for. Plus, with some of the very best bands around as competitors, it was consoling enuff'!!!
