Radio City Live! concert on 17th Mar.

Well its a known fact that very few people actually like this FM station. I hate everything about this station, the RJs, the content(absolutely crap), the ADs(around 75% of the airtime is for ADs i guess). But i am forced to listen to it on my daily commute to office and back home. So thats how I came to know about this program Radiocity Live in which budding Bangalore Bands are given a forum to perform. I listened to couple of bands, they have done a commendable job. Then at the end of this event, RC organised a concert featuring three popular bands:

• Phenom
• Lounge Prihana
  
• Swarathma

along with Parikrama the star band. The concert was on 17th March, I along with my colleague Nagaraj, gate crashed and just were there on time to listen to Swarthma(we missed the other two). And boy, was i impressed. They were amazing with their fusion music. I was blown over by the vocals of Vasu Dixit, too good. And their compsitions "E Bhumi" and "Jana Kaha hain Mujhe" were really good. You can listen to the snippets here.

Then came Parikrama, started off with Highway to Hell, then moved to their own compositions like Superhero, But it Rained, Rhythm & Blues, mixed it with a number from Iron Maiden, Pink Floyd( Coming back to Life), then ended with "Smoke on the water". The Lead Guitarist of the band was really amazing. Then they had a fusion round with Swarthma and Phenom, which was ok. On the whole the concert was well organised, the audio setup was good.
