It's always a pleasure to be at a Parikrama performance. When it comes to entertainment, they deliver. Indian bands normally meet a lot of criticism and trash talk for sundry reasons like not being original or being heavily influenced by 'Rest of the World' music. Well, not any more; and here's a measure of a band's success. One is the time factor- being able to stick around and putting up with a heckling crowd, armchair critics, and the most grueling- each other. The other factor is the energy created with the performance at the location. They bring the zing thing- that tingling sensation that runs through the terrain of your skin when the music meets a certain emotion. Be it covers or their own songs, we feel it. These guys have stuck together for 20 years. Keep rocking guys. Here are some other Indian bands (barely the tip of the iceberg) who I have had the pleasure of listening to- live, and photographing.
Indian Ocean
Adil and Vasundhara
Hari and Sukhmani
Faridkot
Menwhopause
Indus Creed
