- GOURY NANDA @Kozhikode

Kozhikode's newest musical sensation, the eight-member ensemble of corporate professionals, who initially bonded over after-hours jam sessions at a Hilite Business Park office, has struck a chord with local audiences.

The band's origins trace back to mid-2022, when a handful of musically inclined colleagues found themselves convening at the terrace of their office complex. What began as an informal escape from daily stresses quickly blossomed into something more profound.
