About Me

Our music aims to be spiritual as well as sensual, rocking as well as thought provoking, kick-(you-know-what) as well as soothing. Like the confluence of the Ganga, Yamuna & the Saraswati, we are about influences from different shores intermingling to create a new sound that experiments freely with soundscapes, defies genre barriers, and yet is as uniquely Indian as it is rooted in rock.

We don’t believe in hatred. We believe in the power of music, to heal, to touch, to provoke, to speak to you – And to change lives.

My Interests

Music:

Member Since: 28/03/2007
Band Website: www.prayagzone.com
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 Joy”. 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.

Sounds Like:

Record Label: Counter Culture Records
Type of Label: Indie
