Having seen battles all over the world, this January the Red Bull Sound Clash hits Bangalore in India.
Sound Clash consists of two bands performing on opposite stages over four rounds. The two bands have to fulfil creative tasks in each round (play covers, take over songs from opponent band, etc). The winner is determined by the audience's applause, measured by a decibel meter. The two challengers in Bangalore are The Call (Pakistan) and Something Relevant (India), and the whole event – which takes place on January 30 in Bangalore's E-Zone Club – will be MCed by Rohit Barker.
Red Bull Sound Clash has received international acclaim from past events hosted in Japan, Russia, Hungary, Belgium, Poland, New Zealand and the Netherlands, with acts such as Shiny Toy Guns, Erykah Badu, Antibalas and The Roots all taking part.
Something Relevant formed in Mumbai in 2003, and currently claim to be the one of the best bands in India. They've just released an album – Feels Good 2B Live – which showcases their skills as a top-notch live turn, and shows the band at the top of their game. For more info, head to somethingrelevant.org.
Call are one of India's biggest bands, with a succession of endorsements to their name. Originally forming in 1994, their story is something of a saga, which saw them finally get around to releasing a debut album in 2005. They are about to release an as-yet-untitled follow-up this year http://www.thebandcall.com/
