Indian rock legends Indus Creed will be performing in the Hornbill Music Festival 2019 on Dec. 8 at the Agri Expo, 4th Mile in Dimapur.
India’s front-running band for over 25 years, Indus Creed is considered to be the pioneers of rock music in the country.
They blazed trails across India well before the advent of satellite TV into the country’s airwaves, setting the stage for today’s fertile indie scene. Their path breaking albums are still considered seminal works, the updates informed.
The multi-award-winning band first put India on the international rock map from the late 1980s to the late 1990s.
The band’s debut album Rock ‘n’ Roll Renegade (CBS) was probably the largest selling rock album in the country during that time. Their second album, The Second Coming, spawned their hit “Pretty Child.”
The third album, titled Indus Creed, was recorded in Los Angeles in 1994 and released worldwide by BMG-Crescendo.
Their video “Trapped” was nominated by Channel V for a Billboard Viewers’ Choice Award and by MTV for its Asian Viewer’s Choice Award.
Their fifth video “Sleep” was nominated for MTV’s Indian Viewers Choice in 1996.
