October with Friends: Guns N Roses Tribute@ Hard Rock Café, Delhi

Events in Delhi NCR - October with Friends: Guns N Roses Tribute@ Hard Rock Café, DLF Place Shopping Mall, Saket, Delhi. On 23rd February 2012, 9.pm onwards

Germinating in 2007, October is a musical hybrid of the modern genres of alternative and progressive rock layered with psychedelia, expressed through the collective musical meeting ground of its six members –

1. Shantanu ‘Shanty’ Sudarshan – Drums
2. Jeffrey Laloo – Bass, Backing Vocals
3. Rohan Panjiar – Guitars
4. Shashvat Pandit – Guitars
5. Amitabh Mukherjee – Vocals
6. Abhimanyu Mullick - Vocals

They consider narrowing a band down to a genre as musical racism; therefore they strive to combine anything and everything that cools their beans. A completely secular musical orgy, with its members bringing their unique musical influences to create a sound reflective of the band’s gritty and stark look at its surroundings. They almost completely always believe in playing our original compositions with no regard to the number of cries of 'smoke on the water'. The reason why they named our band 'October' is a well kept secret within the band, and they do not wish to divulge it any time soon.
