LAKHHICHARA
Lakkhichhara..is a proper bangla ROCK band based in kolkata..they started off pretty young..they are awsome at live shows.they sound distinct and its always a treat to listen to them.
They are everywhere, every street knows them, every single schoolgirl has their fragrance inside her heart, every festival celebrates their spirit and everyone calls them - Lakkhichhara! Yes, that's what they are - simple, honest, fun-loving vagabonds of the City of Kolkata. A little crazy about life, sometimes ironically sad and sincere, determined to burn all their guts for music. Completely unware of the routine life, these are a bunch of freewheelin' rock-a-rollers (handpicked and handcrafted!!) with an uncontrollable tendency to perform eerie experiments through music and words. Recklessly robust and sensationally unbranded in texture, smells green, looks natural and tastes - HOT ....BAND HISTORY
Some people say "Morning shows the day" … it's not always true, but when it comes to Lakkhichhara… it surely is. Back in the 90's, nurtured by the visions of the revolutionary music composer/singer/song writer/performer/film maker Late Mr. Gautam Chattopadhyay, a group of schoolkids that included his own son Gaurab Chatterjee on Drums along with some of his friends (ex members include Sayak, Parambrata, Abhishek, Samya, Riju, CG, Shomi) found music as their only form of expression. Being the youngest band to cut a single, Lakkhichhara recorded their first song "Porashonay Jolanjoli …" written by Goutam Chattopadhyay himself, which appeared on the ground breaking album 'Abar Bochhor Kuri Pore' - Mohiner Ghoraguli Shompadito Bangla Gaan. (Asha Audio ). Many a year passed, kids grew up to youngsters, few of them chose their own roads, the rest emerged in the professional circuit as Lakkhichhara !! That was the year 1999, the guys started doing music professionally in college fests, small gigs in hotels, pubs etc. During these times the band's noteworthy achievements were - the "Biswa Banga Sammellan performance & their involvement in a Television Serial - 'Swaponil'. Debaditya & Nilanjan ( bot
h ex- Astra) joined the band in 2000, taking care of keyboards & guitars respectively. Year 2001 saw Lakkhichhara's debut album 'Megha Malhar' (Asha Audio,2001), the lineup was Sayak Bandopadhyay - Vocals, Nilanjan Mukherjee - Guitars & Backing Vocals, Sanket Bhattacharya - Bass, Debaditya Choudhury - Keyboards, Gaurab Chatterjee - Drums, Vocals & Backing Vocals with Anyrvan joining the band as the songwriter. Though not a hugely commercial success, the album featured some major hits like 'Care Korina', 'Shudhu Chai Tomay', being regularly aired on the FM channels. Besides, 'Megha Malhar' & 'Mohabishwo' won the hearts of critics. The Band also performed in 'Banga Sanskriti Utsav' that year … every thing was good till December 2001, when the vocalist Sayak Bandopadhyay left the Band.As we all know - 'Life goes on'… so it did…Subhajit Mukherjee joined Lakkhichhara as lead vocalist/ guitarist (Subhajit - Vocals, Nilanjan - Guitars & Backing Vocals, Sanket - Bass, Debaditya - Keyboards, Gaurab- Drums, Percussion, Vocals & Backing Vocals, Anyrvan - Lyrics) the guys kept rolling down newfound road …followed by concerts, interviews and a dream to touch the sky. Lakkhichhara performed in 12 Down Inn Street, Peerless Inn - being the first bangla band to play live. The title track stormed off the music scene with no leaf unturned. Within a month it turned out to be 'The Anthem of the Youth'. The song boasted of it's popularity at number 1 for months on the radio charts, bringing more shows, fans and above all - RECOGNITION! The album not only confirmed the band's position in the 'most popular' category, but also showcased their versatility. The romanticism of 'Mone Porchhe Na', the valor of 'Lakkhichhara', the melancholy of 'Shatsho Shokaal', the luster of 'Ballerina' proved their skills as matured songmakers. Flooded with invitations & interviews from the Radio & Television Channels, the band was on the peak of grandeur. The album's commercial success made Lakkhichhara a house hold name. The same year the guys performed at 'Trincas' - being the first band to appear live. …AND ONE MORE LOST SOUL FOR THE ROAD…2004 brought a new axeman to Lakkhichhara - Rishabh Ray - and the band was ready to roll. Relentless touring, college fests, charity shows & invitations kept the band with not even a minute to sit back, Finally in 2005, Lakkhichhara managed to cut some fresh material to record their third album 'Eka' (Asha Audio, 2005). Packed with a variety of tunes, 'Eka' strongly boasts to be their best work till date. The urban groovy 'Paliye Berai', 'Ami Raaji', 'Ke Ki Boley', reflected the helplessness of the modern psyche, the blasphemous 'Eka', 'Proshno', 'Boba Festun' or the bitter sweet dodgy romantic ballads like 'Phirey Esho', 'Jani-na Ki' surely made their way straight into the young hearts of the city. The band even anchored a popular weekend game show 'Chhakka Noile Fakka' on Akash Bangla which was eventually a big success. The members have also appeared as judges on 'Hau Mau Khau' - a game show on Zee Bangla TV, Band-E-Mataram (I & II), "Rock Idols" along with numerous college fests.
