With those self composed songs... we too had stories to tell

STRANGERS Bangla Rock Band (1999-2004):
In early 70s Calcutta became the birthplace of Bangla Band, taking a step away from normal romanticism. Mohiner Ghoraguli, pioneer in this inspiration took up guitar to speak for the people of their heart. Thus, was paved the path for future youngsters to take up music as their voice of expression and the job proceeds from today to tomorrow and hope till eternity.

We, Strangers, a group of young minds with heart full of dreams to change the hunger to happiness, emotions to rainbow, with guitar as our weapon, were the little soldiers in this revolution.



Band Line-up:
Dabbu (Vocals, Guitar), Niladri (Vocals, Bass), Bibek (Vocals, Keyboards), Sunando (Lead Guitar), Indro (Percussions), Sujoy (Drums), Kausik (Sound Management)
