Friends 91.9 FM Music Festival

The third and final day of the Friends 91.9 FM Music Festival kicked off with the upcoming Bangla Band Eldorado. The stage crowded with speakers came alive with the screaming vocalist and screeching guitars. It was Rock time baby and Kolkata was ready to be blown away.

The next band was Chandrabindoo, not into screaming and shouting but melodious music, this band was well received and applauded during their performance. As their final gesture to the platform they had been given to perform at, they called upon all the Friends 91.9 FM RJs to join them on stage for their last song and sing along. As gracious hosts, the RJs appeased the request and finally got a standing ovation from the crowd.

Phoenix was the next act upon stage and this 7 year old band gave a performance that was commendable. Not only did they have the crowd cheering them all the way, but were able to stave off all requests for the next band to come on stage very eloquently.

Fossils were up next and did their usual gimmicky loud music with much fanfare. Their lead vocalist had the crowd dancing to his tunes.

The grand finale of the evening and the three day musical extravaganza was Bikram Ghosh’s Rythmscape which included Pt. S Sekhar, Sanjay Das, Pulak Sarkar, Chiro, V Suresh and Supratik. The performance had the audience captivated and up and cheering till 10 pm.
