Beatlemania Hits Hyderabad as the DJ belts out some of the many hits by the most popular band ever known.
Dischordian began as my attempt to move away from the wall of sound and aggression and testosterone that makes up most rock music. I just wanted to do something new and different – keep the intensity and depth of feeling that is so important for any art to work, but strip the music down to its basics: one guitar and one voice, just rhythms and melodies and words.Dischordian is constantly evolving and is today a three-piece acoustic band whose members play guitars, harmonica, trumpet, djembe and a variety of other percussion instruments. The music incorporates all the sounds I have loved and learned from since I was a child, including country, pop, rock ‘n’ roll, punk, metal, folk, and a multitude of styles that have no real labels.
