Mangaluru: It was once again that time of the year again. The Battle of the Bands took place on Thursday, 20 February 2020 as part of the ongoing Adrenaline 2020 Fest at Father Muller Medical college, Mangaluru, from 19-22 February 2020. Thirteen local and out of town bands all well prepared for this competition, gave their best to win the prizes. And the musicians did show their friends, family and the community just how hard they have been working, to unleash their talents and give their best performance.
Music is a great way for people to express themselves. The audience can get to know the band by listening to their music. Some groups may have played in similar conditions, but any time there is a big live crowd it would be worth playing at. Every band was confident that they would take home a big prize. Of course this is a friendly competition, but everybody wanted to win this competition. The winners got to take home attractive prizes.
Exposure is a part of playing in a band. Battle of the Bands is a way to get a band’s name out there and draw some interest. Playing for friends and family is not the only perk of performing in Battle of the Bands, the participants can see other bands perform live and learn a few things. “It’s not about winning the prize, it’s more about seeing where we stack up against everyone else and get our name out there a little bit,” said a lead singer of a medical college band. The winners in Battle of the Bands were presented with prizes by the the Managing Partners of Crave-Bakes & Cakes- Carl Correa and Michael Saldanha.
These Bands come from many different backgrounds. Each band had their own unique sound and style. These influences can be seen through these bands music. These influences come through emotions and feelings the band’s feels or maybe they just like the sound, these inspirations are all around us. Every band had their own style and the huge crowd of young and old loved it. These bands had been preparing for a while and were excited to give the event a show. This year’s competition lived up to the hype, now it is time for the bands to prepare for next year Adrenaline 2021.

In 2011, Michael Dias, a frustrated software engineer, decided to follow a higher calling – to becoming a Rock Star. He quit his lucrative job and scouted the city to find right musicians to start off his band, already with a song bank in his head. Along the way, he met Kaushik Kumar and Shravan Bendapudi (ex-drummer), two wayward souls, like himself, and formed Mad Orange Fireworks. And the rest, as they say, is a Hollywood montage.
‘Mad Orange Fireworks’is known for its originality, musicianship and stunning stage presence. Currently with Deepak Raghu on drums, the band actively performs all across the country. And tonight, the young medicos will be rocking to this Band, in and out? And come tomorrow, 22 February, DJ Martin D’Souza a top Dj from Bengaluru will be belting out a few Bollyhood, Western, EDM, Rap and much more hits to keep the crowd groovin’ and movin’? – so be there on 22nd February at 8 pm.
