After vetting musicians from 120 colleges across 80 cities in India, the third edition of Parx Band Hunt 2018 found its finalists: Hindi prog-rock band Alchemy, New Delhi fusion band Common Thread, Kolkata rap/ rockers Hidden Identity and alternative rock group Oddsox.

The event took place at Mumbai’s Hard Rock Cafe, Worli, and was kicked off by the effervescent host: musician and actor Luke Kenny. After lightening the mood, he introduced the audience to the experienced mentors who guided the youngsters before the Grand Finale. The prizes were lucrative: A cash prize of Rs. 2, 00,000 for the winners. The best guitarist would receive an acoustic guitar hand-painted by Satyendra Rane. Another would go to an audience member who could play it on stage
