HISTORY

A journey that began back at the end of 2003, but is no where near coming to an end, 'The Other People' are growing in stature with each passing day. Known for their lively and energetic performances, this is a band that is now recognised as one of India's leading "Old School" bands!

Depending on the venue and requirements, their shows cover a variety of genres ranging from Soft Rock to Rock n' Roll, throwing in some Reggae mixed with a little Contemporary and some Retro, a touch of Blues, a shout of Pop and even a bit of some thumping Disco! The crowd and fan following that they have slowly but steadily built up over the years is also widely varied, with people being anything between 16 and 70 years, and the simple motto of the band for everyone, no matter who or how old, being "Dance till you drop!" Known to bring an original twist into each track, the band never fails to surprise an audience and ensures that they stay hooked right through the show!

After having a good amount of experience and a good number of shows under their belt, the guys from Mumbai are always looking to push for more! 'The Other People' play regularly at clubs around Mumbai like Blue Frog & Hard Rock Cafe, amongst others outside the city like Opus in Bangalore, Hard Rock Cafe in Hyderabad, Bangalore & Pune and a few in Goa as well! Besides the club shows around the country, the band is always looking to perform at parties, events, pre / post wedding parties, etc and are slowly building up a good reputation for this as well. Their first big break was to play at the Lakme India Fashion Week finale party in November 2008, following which "The Other People" got the opportunity to play at a party for one of India's leading designers, Mr. Wendell Rodricks, as well as a party in Mumbai for the launch of Absolut Vodka's Rock Edition, some corporate and wedding parties as well as being chosen to play at The Great Indian Octoberfest in Bangalore in October 2010 an event where only the leading artists from around the country like Neha Bhasin, Shaan, DJ Aqeel & DJ Pearl to name a few, as well as some International acts like Lacuna Coil & Bedouin Soundclash are chosen to play each year! A couple of other big breaks that 'The Other People' earned in the year of 2010, included being the opening act in Mumbai & Hyderabad for American rockers 'Saving Abel' on their tour of India in February 2010 as well as in Bangalore for Danish pop stars 'Michael Learns To Rock' on their tour of India in June 2010! These two big events got 'The Other People' an introduction, a very successful one at that, with the music crazy crowds of Bangalore & Hyderabad!

The band is now looking to take things a step further, and is now in the process of recording their debut album called 'Step It Up' which will include some songs written and composed by the band itself. The aim is to get an even better response for this album and hopefully one day in the near future, push on to the International level.

'The Other People' are driven with passion, energy, ambition and above all, a love for music and performing in front of thousands of people! After being recently featured in the November & December 2010 issues of one of India's leading lifestyle magazines "Vogue", the band is confident that more opportunities and doors will open for them in the near future on the national and international stage, and are looking forward to grabbing these opportunities with both hands and pushing ahead!
