After opening its gates to live music enthusiasts in Delhi, the entity opened another venue in Mumbai towards the end of the year. With almost five dedicated nights per week, Flyp @ MTV, in three months, has quickly found itself in a strong position from the brands and promoters' perspective. With nights revolving around themes like tribute gigs, singer-songwriters sessions, and electronica sets, the venue has carefully experimented with several genres before narrowing down to the current nature of programming.
Auro Bar and Kitchen, New Delhi
Established towards the end of 2016, Auro put itself on the maps towards the start of 2017. With aggressive programming and tying up with concepts and IPs, Delhi-based Auro Bar & Kitchen quickly rose to popularity in the music fraternity. Inclined a bit towards underground electronic music scene, the venue does not shy itself from programming bands that hold the potential to create a unique live music night. Delhi has seen its fair share of venues either reemerging or growing in 2017, and the Saint and Sinner can be another example of the same.
With exciting partnerships involving Mumbai based artist agency Krunk and local entity Side-B, Pondicherry's newest offering to live music The Storyteller's Bar is the country's new spot for spoken word artists, poets and musicians. Situated in the quaint, away from hush-bush nature that arrives with metropolitan cities, The Storyteller's Bar enjoys the history, culture, and art that surrounds and incorporates Pondicherry and the resulting appreciators of the same living in this union territory. Co-founded by former BlueFrog head Simran Mulchandani, the venue will also entertain workshops, sessions, and performances. To reimagine a dedicated venue for live performances in that part of the country without leveling down on any aspect usually involved in a serious project, The Storyteller's Bar will act as a much-needed option for musicians to consider while touring the country.
While the problem here remains, these are restricted to only two-three major metropolitan cities, which definately is a major limitation as well as an opportunity for entreprenuers and musicians to look out for.Over the seasons, we've witnessed remarkable contestants rise to fame and influencer desi hip-hop and pop-culture as we see it.....
