Rock Concert in Adyar

By Sameeksha Asher

On April 18, Friday the Unwind Center in Gandhi Nagar hosted a series of was rock concerts of performing bands. There were four bands this week namely, Virtual Vegan, Grey Shack, Junkhead and Substance.
The entry ticket was Rs.100.

Virtual Vegan, a two member band started the show with a song from Porcupine Tree called ‘Life is Beautiful’. They went on to sing ‘Dust in The Wind’ and ‘Temple of the King’ by Rainbow. Being a two member band their music was mostly acoustic. A gentle start to a rock show!

The crowd was on its feet when Grey Shack started playing. Though this group was formed only six months ago, it has a number of original compositions. They played ‘Plastic’ and ‘Beautiful Man’. As the concert progressed, people started coming in at the Unwind Center.

Rohan, the lead singer would entertain the crowd a little with jokes between songs.
The crowd (still on its feet) sang along and cheered the band. There were many young boys and girls in the hall but it was hot inside - one assumed the air-conditioning was not working.

Next there was a quiz on rock music and bands but the crowed lost interest in it. This was followed by a drum solo by Chris.

'Junkhead' and 'Substance' were the bands to play last. The show was wrapped up by 9.45pm. This was a entertaining rock concert except for the fact that it got really hot inside and people sweated it out.
