Delhi-based bands join hands for performance

"We are launching our second album, Bats, and we thought we should do so in company of our friends from the music fraternity and our fans," says Anshul Lall, drummer of The Circus. For Abhishek Bhatia, the band’s vocalist, treating the audience to a free live show is worth it. "This way, more people will come and if they like our music, they’ll buy our album and tickets for our live shows," he says.

While for Randeep Singh, bassist of Menwhopause, “It’s all for the love of music and friends.” Musician Keshav Dhar of Skyharbor, feels this will set an example for other bands. “It’s a fantastic idea. I’m thinking of doing the same when we launch our second album,” he says. As for what you’ll hear them play, Akshay Chowdhry, vocalist, guitarist of Barefaced Liar, hints: “We might be playing a cover of Nine Inch Nails’ Wish.”
