The Great Indian Rock Festival 2008
Since its inception 13 years ago, the Great Indian Rock Festival, better known as ‘GIR’, has grown into this massive, nation-wide event that attracts hoards of Rock music lovers. GIR is the brain-child of Amit Saigal, also the founder of India’s very first , exclusive Rock magazine, Rock Street Journal. Originally, GIR was a competition, held annually in just the Capital, New Delhi but over the years, the concept evolved and has extended to all major cities (Although it is no longer a competition) — -Mumbai, New Delhi, Kolkata, Shillong, Bangalore, Hyderabad and Pune.
GIR 2008 was in fact a first for me — -and a pretty average one at that. Possibly because I’m not a biggie on Metal. This year featured 3 international Metal acts headlining the two-day fest — -namely, SAHG and Freak Kitchen on Day One and Satyricon on Day Two. Here’s a little something about my very first GIR experience-The Mumbai leg of it.
