FRIENDSHIP DAY - A DAY THAT ROCKED



It was a rocking friendship day in Pune this year. All the Music Freaks gathered out for a gig that took place in a restaurant called "GAIA".

It was 2 in the noon when the party started off with 4 bands in the line up.The official Sponsors of the event being Kingfisher Premium Beer and RaDiaX energy Drink. People came to the venue in masses expecting a rocking friendship day but got something much more than they had expected.



THE BANDS 5th OCTAVE ( Mumbai ) HEADRUSH (Pune) PROSODY ( Pune ) AFTERTASTE ( Mumbai )

5th OCTAVE ( Mumbai ) :

The gig started off with a Mumbai-based band called " 5th OCTAVE " with Manoj Kumar at the Vocals. The Hot English covers by that band was something that was really awesome. Numbers like 'Too Hot to Handle ' and many more were what the crowd was waiting for. All the way from Mumbai , they rocked Pune .A little disappointment to the crowd happened when there was a problem with the electricity but 5th OCTAVE didn't stop then too, They continued to rock even without mic and electric equipments . The wait was over and all things were set straight shortly.
 
HEADRUSH ( Pune ) :

Along came HEADRUSH .....Heading with a rush into the minds of the people. HEADRUSH played some rocking numbers of english covers along with some foot-tapping numbers of their own. It was more energetic than ever before. Headrush with Bhushan on the vocals and a great band to follow him , just had the crowd on their feet urging for more.
 
PROSODY ( Pune ) :

Headrush had just filled up the energy into the crowds when a Pune-based band PROSODY took on the proceedings . Being a new band, They gave their best performance for the crowd and hit some really famous numbers of english covers like Metallica,AVR,etc.They entertained the crowd but lacked some amount of energy into their performance. Their performance was good .
 
AFTERTASTE ( Mumbai ) :

After PROSODY , another band from Mumbai entered the wagon. This time it was the band called AFTERTASTE . Keegan at the vocals , Michael at the Guitar , Reull at the bass and Levin at the Drums .Aftertaste with their unique style gave the crowd the taste of rock and hip-hop and it was like a treat for the crowds.They are a nu-metal music band . It was like.."WOW,What a band". Full of energy and great amount of dedication, they had the People literally jumping and dancing to their foot-taping tunes. Planning to make an album , they enchanted the crowd with their own compositions like ' Operation Water ' , it was like a non-stop action music for the crowd. People requesting them to play songs were graced when their requests were played by Aftertaste. A funky Hip-hop number with their guest vocalist Biju was something the crowd never expected to be coming .


Every good thing has to come to an end and so did this gig . Thanks to 5th OCTAVE, HEADRUSH, PROSODY and AFTERTASTE ,and of course the sponsors , Kingfisher Premium Beer and RaDiaX energy drink ,it was a day that rock music lovers will never get off from their minds ...AWSOME MUSIC, GREAT BANDS and CRAZY CROWD, that's all that ROCKED the FRIENDSHIP DAY (05th August,2007) at GAIA, PUNE.
