‘White Lion’ arrives Dimapur

The much-awaited international five-member band ‘White Lion’ has at last arrived Dimapur on Sunday. The “When the Children Cry” and “You’re all I need” fame band will perform live at the DDSC stadium on December 16.
Interacting with media persons immediately after reaching Dimapur, ‘White Lion’ frontman Mike Tramp said, “We want to give songs the fans wanted to hear” adding that they have new songs up their sleeves for the fans.
On their India Tour that kick-started with performance in Shillong on Saturday night, Mike stated, “It was amazing. The India tour has been the top of my career. We play a set of new songs from our latest album.” The Danish band had launched their new records ‘Return of the Pride’ in March this year.
On a query if their new album has any song that addresses social issues, the band leader replied, “How far can we use religion to get to other people’s life!” In fact, the band worldwide hits like ‘Cry for Freedom’, ‘Broken Home’, ‘Little Fighter’ among others, has become a universal anthem for social issues including Apartheid and Greenpeace movement.
“The lyrics of our songs were simply written without giving much thought to its meaning. But later, it has greater implication,” averred Mike, admittedly. “I am still thinking about of writing new songs that focus on social issues.”
Members of ‘White Lion’ will visit and interact with students at the school for deaf at Naharbari on the outskirts of Dimapur Monday morning. Parts of the proceeds from the internationally-acclaimed rock band’s show would go to the welfare of the school.
The Dimapur gig on Wednesday has been billed as the first of its kind-featuring a world renowned rock group-for the music savvy state Nagaland. According to organizers, the show will begin 2.30 pm sharp and the gate will be opened from 11 am to 2 pm. The band is expected to perform at a stretch for one and half hours. Informing that there are limited tickets for the mega event, Managing Director of Finishing Touches said that all categories of ticket holders will receive gift hampers from Vivel.
