Bacardi NH7 Weekender 2013

Thank you Kolkata! You've been awesome and it's been an absolute dream for us. We'll see you next year. 

This is the beginning of the end. The Karsh Kale Collectiv + The NH7 All Stars are now playing the final set at the Bacardi Arena. OML head Vijay Nair stepped up to dedicate the set to Kolkata's Singh family for their hospitality and general awesomeness.

It’s undeniable really, Dualist Inquiry Band are a force to be reckoned with. The three piece setup that’s been on the road for the last few months with the Red Bull Tour Bus takes the best of Dualist Inquiry’s music’s elements and kicks them up a few notches, making for memorable arena-worthy performances that are rarely ever the same from show-to-show. Kolkata has just witnessed something pretty special.

There isn't a place to stand at The Dewarists. Kailash Kher and his band Kailasa have just put up an exemplary performance. 'Teri Deewani' prompted the kind of singalong that drowned Kher's own voice out and this song that's called for many women to get up on stage is dedicated to NH7. Simply euphoric.

Jivraj Singh on drums and Sandunes on synth add a new dimension to the live energy of Dualist Inquiry's material. Sahej Bakshi himself seems to enjoy this format a great deal. They're currently killing the Eristoff Wolves Den.

"Is Kolkata ready for a circle pit?!" Kolkata's ready for two.

Delhi bassmonster's on at the Breezer Dub Station right now, closing the stage for the night with some signature tunes and excellent mixes.

Nischay Parekh has his MTS Other Stage audience under a spell with another magnificent performance. More talent in those three gents up there than the world's realized yet. They're playing 'Sunbeam' now, which isn't on his excellent debut album Ocean but on his Soundcloud for all of you to have a listen.

Three Weekenders down, and we're now finally in Nischay "Baby Doll" Parekh's home city. He's just begun playing a set at the MTS Other Stage to a crowd that loves him.

Overheard at the Eristoff Wolves Den while Michal Menert is absolutely slaying it - "Told you it was a good idea to check him out." We agree.

Bass(ist) face anyone?

This is full circle for The Supersonics playing the penultimate set atop the Red Bull Tour Bus at the Bacardi NH7 Weekender this year. They also played it's launch gig in Mumbai earlier this year.

David Boomah's boomin' over at the Dub Station right now.

How can you not love somebody who is the human extension of his soulful, emotional music? The animated Michal Menert is taking the Eristoff Wolves Den in Kolkata on a journey of love right here at the happiest music festival. We'll miss him dearly when he finally leaves the country. Hopefully, he'll be back before we can say "Bacardi NH7 Weekender 2014".

Now playing: Yeah, Whatever

Michal Menert just took over the stage. If you're around head over to the Eristoff Wolves Den. Now.
