Couple of weeks back i again got a chance to watch Indian Ocean Live at Cobb Energy Performing Arts, Atlanta. Previously i was lucky to watch them perform live at IIT,Delhi and XIMB, BBSR. The band has proved every now and then that they are well above the other Indian bands. Here we have 4 guys who think out of the box music. Experimenting with desi instruments -they create a music thats so freshening. Each song has a deep meaning and carry a strong message.
Moreover Indian Ocean never seek publicity. They have there own music followers. College students loves them, adore them. Rahul Ram is the soul of band and my fav. Quiety Susmit has his own way of playing the guitar. He can play it on for hours n hours. Asheem has got a powerful voice which makes each song so unique and different. Amit 'The Drummer' can make any one do rock n roll. But few people knows that he's also a good singer.
The band has survived for 19 long years and produced some great Indi Rock songs.
Best way to describe their music as per Rahul is: Indian ocean music/songs are like Gajar ka Halwa(Carrot Halwa). It takes lot of time to create gud one. But once it is cooked well, it comes out to be an inspiring/delicious one.
Modesty is the keyword for band. They have seen so much success. But even today when you see these guys on the stage or when you get a chance to talk to them, they are so much down to earth.
Indian Ocean-Rock On!!!
