GANGTOK, : Rock music fans in India are in for a treat as Girish and The
Chronicles (GATC) gear up to open for the legendary Mr. Big on February 16 at
the Bangalore edition of the Bloomverse Festival.
For
a band which originated from Sikkim and that has carried the torch for Indian
rock music on global stages, this marks a milestone in their journey, one
steeped in admiration and inspiration.
During
their formative years, the GATC often paid homage to Mr. Big by covering their
iconic tracks like “To Be With You,” “Promise Her the Moon,” and their
rendition of “Wild World.” The influence of Mr. Big on GATC’s early years is
undeniable, making this shared stage a moment of pure nostalgia and in a way,
coming full circle, a press release informs.
Mr.
Big has long been a household name across India, with a legacy that transcends
generations. Their iconic hits like “To Be With You,” “Shine,” “Daddy, Brother,
Lover, Little Boy,” and “Green-Tinted Sixties Mind” have struck a chord with
fans everywhere, including Sikkim and surrounding regions.
As
the festival approaches, anticipation is building for a night where two
generations of rock meet in perfect harmony. For GATC, this is not just another
performance—it’s a moment to honor their roots, their heroes, and the power of
rock music to bring people together, the release mentions.
