New Breed Fest 2006 Click here

Venue: Soul, ABC Farms, Koregaon Park, Pune

Date: July 02, 2006

The show showcased Sanjeev ‘Munna’ Pandkar’s multi talented eclectic group of students or should we call ‘em self motivated music aficionados who had an ideal platform to hone their stage-show skills by jutting out hard rock and fusion numbers in form of 7 bands comprised out of 30 odd musically inclined students. This was the first time they performed live and boy…these dudes rocked ….& rocked hard till the end!!!! Kudos to pony-tailed poncho man - Sanjeev.

The show with Hydrogen Jukebox belting out popular numbers, followed by Spun, Fingerprint, Kynera, Wasavi, Torrent n New Breed. Super show organized by Sanjeev – interspersing himself on the bass at times – leaving the audience impressed & wanting for more. Some parents of band members … yes them too… joined in the fun and applauded to cheer on this brigade of young hot-blooded libido laden rocksters.

Mostly famous rock numbers were belted out (need we say which!!… ok..the likes of Nirvana, Pink Floyd, Pearl Jam). A stand out though was rock fusion by Wasavi with Jasraj on ‘raga-vocals’ which truly cracked the applaud meter. The rock chics – Anupriya & Tripti – were admired for their vocal prowess. Hrishikesh on drums was amazing – good going for a tabla dude!! Well the list goes on and on … loads of talent, attitude and confidence made this show a joint of sorts. These guys are sure to make headlines soon.

Keep rockin ….. it’s a free world!!!!
