"Zedde, a fresh band with old timers, is steadily
becoming quite a wanted name in the gig circuit."
In mid 2008, singer 2Blue and guitar player Claver Menezes got
together to form Zedde. Trevor Berchman was soon brought on board as drummer
and Dee Saikia as bass player. Some headlining slots at college festivals, a
few radio shows, and a dozen club gigs later, their first single ‘Mumbai’ won
the prestigious ‘Anthem of the Year’ title at the world’s largest indie music
awards: AVIMA 2010. The video for the song frequented all popular music
channels, including VH1 and MTV India, and climbed to #1 on the Youtube India
charts within 24 hours of upload. The recognition opened new doors and hence,
hours on the road replaced those in the studio. But it wasn't long before newer
tracks were released as singles on iTunes and Amazon, and subsequently as
caller tunes on the Indian cellular network [sms ZEDDE to 54646 for details].
Shortly thereafter, Zedde was voted as the ‘Best Band’ at the ArtistAloud.com
Awards 2010. This is perhaps attributable to the band’s undying passion to
perform original music while carrying forward the legacy of their hard rock
predecessors.
Zedde is a band best served live! Make it your own, get rocked – A to
Zedde!!
