What kind of music does the band play? Is it inspired by anyone?
Our music can be classified as funk rock. We are inspired by Mr Big, Extreme, Jamiroquai, Rush, Karnivool and Toto.

How was the band formed?
Suyash, our drummer, thought that it would be a great idea for us to jam together, and we agreed.

Where was the band’s debut gig?
Our first show was at BITS, Pilani.

Which number always gets the crowd going at your gigs?


Our composition, Believe, is a hit with the audience, as well as our cover of Led Zeppelin’s Immigrant Song.

How is it performing in the Capital?
We find it to be a pleasant experience. People here love you if you perform well.

What do you think of the music scene in Delhi?
While its growth has been exponential in the past few years, the music scene in Delhi has a long way to go before it becomes a way of life for people. But we feel the needed infrastructure is now in place for bands. The access to recording studios and jam pads is now easier than before.

If you could jam with an international artist, who would it be?
It would definitely have to be Mr Big.

Can you tell us about your upcoming gig?
We are performing at an event organised by Bands Association of Delhi. We hope that it will serve as a platform that gives us an exposure to a huge pool of music lovers. We can’t wait to make new fans!
