Now PENTAGRAM Band Available for Booking in These Cities
Randolph, Shiraz, Papal, and Vishal came together in 1994 with a strong need to play individual, original, unique music. This was as much a reaction to the stagnating Indian Rock scene, populated by bands playing mostly cover music, as it was a primal instinct. They did the rounds of college festivals, almost immediately becoming well known and popular, by winning three major rock competitions at the Kanpur, Delhi, and Bombay IITs. They signed a record deal and put out their first album ('We Are Not Listening') in 1996. It was listed by Rhythm House (India's premier record store) as the fastest-selling rock album. They released two videos ("The Ignorant 1" and "Yoo"), which were frequently played by all the music channels.Book Pentagram Band and Musicians for Corporate and Wedding Events. Contact details and booking price of Pentagram Band are available on demand.
Pentagram were MTV India's 'Artist of the Month' in 1997. They also won the Channel [V] awards for Best Live Band and Best Indian Band in 1997 & 1998. They were featured on Channel [V]'s Big Gig show, a showcase of an hour-long live performance.
They played gigs in the Seychelles and all across Indian campuses while figuring out their sound. When they put out their second album ('Up', 2002), their audiences were taken by surprise. The alternative rock band they had known had added a huge electronic edge to their sound. Pentagram have always maintained that the new sound came out of a burning need to find a way to make music that was uniquely and solely theirs. During the Kargil War, Pentagram recorded and released India's first exclusive-to-internet song, “The Price of Bullets,” which featured famous poet Javed Akhtar and popular Indian classical artist Shankar Mahadevan. The video, directed by Farhan Akhtar, one of India's most successful young filmmakers, was blacked out by channels across the board for being "too politically loaded.". It was added as a bonus track on their second album, 'Up'.
They became the first Indian band to top Asian mp3 charts, with six songs going to No. 1 for over two weeks each. ("Drive," “Strange,” “Think of Me,” “Don't Care,” "Is there a Light?" and "The Price of Bullets," all featured on 'Up'). Their single, “Think of Me,” went to No. 5 in the world on Billboard's talent hunt site. 'Up' was later released and published by their self-owned music label, 'Pentagrammusic', produced and distributed by Sony Music (India). It went on to become one of India's highest-selling rock albums, with more than 15,000 copies sold. A string of awards followed, including Best Live Act at the June Rock Out Awards in 2003, winning the readers poll for 'Best Indian Band' by Rock Street Journal twice.
Their new edge brought them international recognition, and the doors of several festivals were flung open to them. They headlined the Sundance Music Festival in Estonia in 2003, a first for any Indian band. They were also invited to and played at the Glastonbury Music Festival in 2005. This was a real high point, as they not only became the first Indian act to play there but also became aware of the real possibilities of their music. They were able to share the stage with contemporary giants like Coldplay, Chemical Brothers, Tori Amos, Fat Boy Slim, and White Stripes. Seeing how they stood up to huge acts and how positive the audiences were, they knee-jerked Pentagram into producing their third album. 'It's OK, It's All Good', released by Counter Culture Records in March 2007, was also very well received. The first single off this album, “Voice,” won the Song of the Year at the Jack Daniel's Annual Indian Rock Awards, and Vishal was awarded Vocalist of the Year.
The band is back now with 'Bloodywood', an album representing another crucial milestone in the life of an act that seems to have done it all. This 14-track album is the fierce sound of a quartet that represents a national counter-expression—the antithesis of a static, stagnant mainstream. It is their grittiest work till date. For a band so representative of evolution, this album is an exponential progression—unbounded by convention and with a fiery disdain for the orthodox. Featuring tracks that they have begun to play at their shows, such as Mental Zero and Loved Drug Climbdown, the album is a descriptive of their perspective of the real Mumbai. In 2013, the band got the opportunity to present their songs in a way that had never been experienced before—Unplugged. The show featured 7 songs and was extremely well received by the audiences.
