Rock veterans Indus Creed, Pentagram and Parikrama to perform at Independence Rock
Independence Rock, also referred to as the Woodstock of India, is making a belated comeback to the city. The three-decade-old festival will take place in November and feature 10 established and up-and-coming acts, including the legendary groups Indus Creed, Pentagram, and Parikrama. On November 5 and 6, a two-day concert will be held at Bayview Lawns in Mazgaon.
The festival began in 1986 nearly as an act of retaliation for being denied the opportunity to perform at the St. Xavier’s campus festival Malhar. Farhad Wadia, a devoted fan of rock and roll, built the venue, which later developed into a Mecca for music lovers in the city. He explains, “I moved to the US eight years ago, so I couldn’t do this every year.
But I’ve always wanted to return and do this every year. I’m happy that the magic of this festival will be experienced by a new generation of festival-goers.
“We love playing big rock songs to those that dig that kind of sound,” Indus Creed frontman Uday Benegal explains. We started making music for that reason, and we still do.
The occasion serves as a sort of homecoming for Parikrama and its founder Subir Malik. When asked if today’s kids can relate to their music, he replies, “We have performed all over the world. The smaller children are headbanging to our music in the front rows, says the 52-year-old.
“The festival has always been the breeding ground for truly independent music in India and I hope it regains its status as India’s crucible of new sounds,” says composer-singer Vishal Dadlani, who is also the main singer for the band Pentagram.
Newer bands like Aswekeepsearching, The Bloodywood, and Parvaaz, among others, will also be making their festival debuts alongside these mainstays. The band Aswekeepsearching is thrilled to play on these revered grounds and remarks, “When we were growing up, Independence Rock was thought of as the biggest stage for independent bands and performers. The roots of today’s independent music scene were laid by this music event. We’re honoured to take part in it.

“Don’t mix narrow politics into music,” said Tamil Nadu Chief Minister MK Stalin in support of TM Krishna’s Sangita Kalanidhi award.

Tamil Nadu Chief Minister MK Stalin has endorsed Carnatic vocalist TM Krishna amid protests by several artists against his Sangitha Kalanidhi award.
Tamil Nadu Chief Minister MK Stalin congratulated Carnatic vocalist TM Krishna for being selected for the Sangitha Kalanidhi award by The Music Academy, despite protests from several artists who oppose the award. Stalin expressed his appreciation for Krishna’s achievement.
Stalin criticized Krishna for his progressive political views and advocacy for the common man. He criticized Periyar for his fight for human equality and women’s equal rights for three-quarters of a century. Stalin argued that it is unfair to criticize Krishna for his progressive stances and not to unnecessarily lash out at Periyar, who fought for human equality and peace.
The Music Academy management deserves appreciation for recognizing TM Krishna’s contributions to the music industry. Krishna’s talent is undeniable, and he emphasized the need for a broad human vision and the ability to avoid hatred and embrace fellow human beings, rather than mixing narrow politics with religious beliefs.
Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam leader Kanimozhi defended the recognition of carnatic vocalist @tmkrishna as Sangita Kalanidhi by the Music Academy, stating that the hate he is receiving for his social beliefs or his engagement with Periyar is uncalled for.
Several musicians have boycotted Madras Music Academy’s December conference, citing Krishna’s Sangita Kalanidhi award for glorifying Periyar and vilifying the Carnatic music community.
Artists are upset with Chennai-based Madras Music Academy’s decision to bestow Oscar-equivalent honor on 48-year-old vocalist Krishna, who will preside over the 98th annual conference and concerts in December.
Indian classical duo Ranjani and Gayatri have criticized their participation in this year’s conference under TM Krishna’s presidency as a “moral violation.”
The Trichur Brothers, Srikrishna and Ramkumar Mohan, have expressed concerns about their participation in the Academy’s year-end festival conference, claiming it would make them “outright hypocrites.”
Krishna, an economics graduate, was a musical prodigy who began learning music from Bhagavathula Seetharama Sharma, followed by Carnatic vocalist Chingleput Ranganathan and Semmangudi Srinivas.
Krishna, the grandnephew of former Indian finance minister TT Krishnamachari, is a founder of the Madras Music Academy.
