1974AD Unplugged at Patan Museum..March
22nd, 2008 |
Press Release
1974AD Unplugged at Patan Museum
1994 to 2008: 14 years of music
Hear the songs and the stories live and direct
A band is like a family, they share good times and bad, rejoice in each
other successes and support each other through the struggles.
1974AD was formed in 1994 and in 14 years the band has gone through a
lot. There are stories behind the songs, and stories between the songs.
The band would like to share these with their audience and their fans at
a special concert to be held at Patan Museum on Saturday 22nd March
2008.
After a long time, all of the band members are in Kathmandu. Sanjay
Shrestha has return from 1 year in Australia, where he studied drums and
toured with his band Stupa, playing festivals and various other
concerts.
Manose Singh has been touring the world, with back-to-back concerts with
Deva Premal. He is in back in Nepal after 2 years for March only.
“The energy between the band when we are all together is magical. We
wanted to do a concert to share this inspiration with our fans. We have
reinterpreted some of our old favourites and will be focusing on the
ballads took us where we are today.” Sanjay Shrestha, Percussionist
The band will be performing acoustic numbers unplugged. It will be a
more intimate setting that they have played previously. This concert
will be one of a kind. The band has never performed to such a small
audience before.
“Performing to a small audience in an intimate setting is very different
to playing the stadium to 10s of thousands of fans. Patan will allow us
to share more of ourselves with our audience. We want to get up close
and personal. Please come and enjoy.” Nirakar Yakthumba, Bassist.
Tickets are Rs.500/- and are available at Moksh, Himalayan Java, Bakery
Cafe, Jai Nepal and Kumari Cinemas or phone 9841320007. The event is
supported by Cosmic Motorcycles

The Vibez’ Honored..Jan
21st, 2008 |
|

Motherland Nepal, a nonprofit
organization based in the U.S., honored the popular Nepalese band
The Vibez on Martin Luther King Day, January 21, 2008, at
the Mount Everest Restaurant in Berkeley, California.
The Vibez is probably the most active and popular U.S.-based pop-rock band
today. The Vibez was the only band selected to perform live at the 2007
ANA Convention, the largest Nepalese convention in the U.S. The
group has also been featured on Nepalisite.com as upcoming artist of the
month in 2007 (
http://www.nepalisite.com ).
The Vibez was formed in 2005 by three young Nepalese students in America.
Although the three have surprisingly different musical tastes and
backgrounds, their compositions are finding wide appeal in the Nepalese
community and beyond.
The Vibez are Direk Shrestha (percussion and guitar, and the band’s
business and logistics manager), Prayeen Singh (lead vocal and The Vibez’
main composer/arranger), and Rupak Lama (lead guitar).
The Vibez has been entertaining Nepalese crowds in Northern California for
over two years with their original numbers and their versions of classic
Nepali songs. Whenever there is a cultural program or get-together in the
Bay Area, The Vibez is invited to perform.
Mr. Anil Pandey, president of Motherland Nepal, said “As Martin Luther
King, Jr. worked for social causes for African Americans, The Vibez has
been actively supporting and contributing to Nepalese culture and music.
The Vibez worked tirelessly with various Nepalese associations in the Bay
Area to raise funds for flood victims last year. This is why we are
honoring The Vibez on Martin Luther King, Jr. Day in The States.”
The Vibez’ first album will be released on Nepali New Year 2065. Prayeen
declares that each song has been composed and paid attention in detail as
if it were the main song of the album. Rupak promises that the album will
be one in which you will not want to skip songs.
Direk adds, “Online media have been very supportive and have been covering
all our news and events. We hope print media, radio, and television will
support us as well when we release our album in Nepal.”
Motherland Nepal was established in February 2005 in California. The
association has organized successful programs such as Nabin Bhattarai’s
concert and MaHa’s show in Northern California. The association has
donated funds to charity organizations in Nepal to protect human rights
and establish peace and democracy in Nepal. |
