\nDevine Connection was formed as a Christian rock band on September 30, 2004 and made its d\u00e9but in Dream Caf\u00e9 Kohima, sponsored by Life pro. Initially it consisted of five members with Obed Kath on the vocals, Zakie on guitars, Ruth Nukhu on the keys, Yanpo on the drums and Mhathung Odyuo on the bass.

Till date the band has worked with youths in collaboration with various churches around the state and some neighboring states as well. The band is open to any programme\u2019s and shows relating to social and humanitarian cause.<\/p>\n

BOOMERANG<\/p>\n

In the beginning, the four piece band hailing from the hills of Aizawl, Mizoram was formed in 2005, as a simple local band for doing and performing covers and other local gigs. But, however during the fall of last year 2006’s, their pathway took an adverse turn when they discovered their creativity for songwriting and arrangements; hence-onwards – performing and managing their own original compositions with having the crowd go wild with their killer performances everywhere.
\nWithin a short span of a few months, they were able to release their E.P called “Rhythm of a Revolution” with no signing on recording labels as such. They are currently working for a Full-Length album though.
\nThe band would like to call their music as Junk rock since it contains progressions of various genres of music which ranges from – jazz, blues, reggae, funk and to extreme metal. Therefore, in the end their music makes out to what can all be truly unified and be signified as a pure “Rock & Roll”. <\/p>\n

Project Blend Ltd
\nThe band was formed way back in the late nineties \u2013 the co-founding members being Chris & Ritchie (Ex-Drummer) and the duo was later joined by Terry on the bass and that\u2019s how PBL came into existence.
\nHowever, the band went through a lot of changes in the line-up but of late with a permanent line-up and also with the joining of Jerry (drummer), the music of the band has taken a different turn and so too the different taste of music of the members has given the band a new sound so to say more \u2013 original.
\nThe band has performed many gigs and has even represented the State in the National Concert held in New Delhi, 2003 but of all the gigs performed the Opening Act for the \u201cSepulturra Tour\u201d tops it all \u2013 \u201cIts like winning a Coveted Prize\u201d \u2013 Of late the band is working on their debut album scheduled to be released next summer. <\/p>\n
