Rock Show
Led-Zepplica and Parikrama
"We were the first Indian band that started fireworks on stage and it sure does something to the atmosphere, when people are screaming "More! More!" In the midst of psychedelic crackers and lighting. There's body chemistry in performing live, how you render the song, how the audience responds, it's a transformation when decibels break barriers!"
Parikrama
Parikrama, the oldest & wildest band needs no formal introduction to the rockers of India. India’s biggest rock band will be performing this year at Saarang-2006. They have gone a long way from being a fledgling band to one that makes headlines wherever they go since their creation one fine afternoon on the 17th of June, 1991.
They are staunch believers in rock and roll, with a dash of blues added to it and garnished with a generous helping of Indian music. They were the first Indian rock band to do an AIDS awareness concert as early as in 1992. Parikrama has already done more than two hundred live concerts across the country. Their original "Till I'm No One Again" featured on the GIR-I and "But it rained" on GIR-V dedicated to the Kargil heroes, shows that they have the talent and are raring to go high.
