Band Members:
Swapnil - Bass: He is the innovator, the out-of-the-box thought astronaut. Through the years of performing in and around Bombay, he has left his ears open to music from all genres, though he would love few things more than a heart-to-heart with Roger Waters.
Pranab - Vocals: His goal is to write & sing songs that absorb the essence of the many places he has traveled. Originally from Assam, this U2, Coldplay, Junoon & Fuzon fan is the engine of the band. He loves Nusrat as much as he loves Eddie Vedder. Bangs his head to metal & can listen to Pt. Bhimsen Joshi for hours.
Viru – Drums & Percussions: Familiar in the rock music circles as a 24-year-old drum prodigy, Veeru has played with a wide variety of bands. From Trilok Gurtu to Steve Gadd to Dennis Chambers, he loves anything to do with rhythm, be it metal or Mississippi Blues. And he can do a mean mix at the studio as well.
Sumit - Lead Guitar: A jazz-rock & blues freak, Sumit is originally from the “City of Joyâ€. He swears by the likes of Carlos Santana, John Mclaughlin, Pat Metheny, Jimi Hendrix, Jeff Beck and Amyt Datta among many, many other six-string prophets.
Naveen – Rhythm Guitar & Percussions: The youngest of the gang, this multi-faceted musician is as comfortable grooving with the Tabla & Dholak as he is, belting out power-packed riffs and singing along with the band.
