The band which DOES NOT against the preconceived notions derives its name from the F-14 training unit of the United States Navy.
Classics influence us a lot more than anything else!!
Personally we like to confine ourselves to classics, which for us was the best time our civilization witnessed or could have witnessed!!Unluckily we were not there!!
We appreciate metal too!
We are not superstars. Just few artists who are known to enjoy what they do.
The band comprises of the people of central India persuasions,Wasted DJs, People who complain of Music not being an optional subject for administrative services exams. People who display bizarre,anti social and exceptional tendencies. And the people who make humming sounds (err....bass) after you feed them to decent amount of alcohol and some yet-to-be great engineers!!
Long live rock and roll!!\m/

The band:
Guitars - Crank, Chirayu
Bass guitar - Shashank
Drums - Achin
Keyboards - Rupak
Vox - Digvijay, Amita

Special figure : Sumeet Lakra

Indore Rock Scene

Joonki yeh indore ka rock blog hai isliye hindi mein baat hogi(ok just kidding)
Yeh blog un logo k mooh pe tamacha hai jo kahte hai ki "Indore mein koi scene nahi hai yaar". Agreed Indore may not have a 'big' scene but surely the scene is building up.

Cheers
