The long-awaited Parx Hunt 2018 Grand Finale kick-started with
overwhelming enthusiasm at the Hard Rock Café, Mumbai. Wooing the jury and the
music enthusiasts at the event, Oddsox from Chennai emerged as the National
winner of Parx Hunt 2018.
As
HRC Worli echoed with loud cheers of the crowd, the first performers Hidden
Identity set the event rolling with their scintillating renditions of
alternative rock music followed by Common Thread, Alchemy, and Oddsox
respectively. The evening reached its crescendo as the four bands battled it
out to claim the coveted title for the year.
Gaurav
Mahajan, President, Group Apparel, Raymond, said, "The idea behind this
initiative was born from the fact that Parx as a brand connects with the youth.
Moreover, creating a platform for independent musicians had been long due, and
Parx Hunt has in some way managed to fill the void. We wish to take this
initiative to better heights in the years to come."
As
UA vocalist E.P.R Iyer came on the stage door the headlining act, a wave of
magnetic energy ran through the crowd bringing the evening alive and the
audience witnessed as to what sounds like the most amazing rap rock band in
India can offer. Vivifying the spirit of Parx Hunt, leading artists like Anand
Bhaskar, Rhythm Shaw, Abhishek Gurung, Sambit Chatterjee, Sidd Cuotto and
Nikhita Gandhi collaborated with headlining band Underground Authority (UA)
taking the energy high up with every note. It was a first for a platform of
this scale to present multiple artists sharing the stage before a live
audience. This act proved their support towards Parx's unique initiative in
encouraging independent artists and giving them a larger than life opportunity
to make it big.
Pragati
Srivastava, Brand Head, Parx, said, “Parx is a brand that resonates with the
youth of the country today. Through Parx Hunt, we are trying to feel the pulse
of this generation and nothing could be better than music to do so. We provide
the right stage for upcoming college bands to showcase their talent and learn
from the best in the music industry. The winning band takes home a prize money
of three lakhs, which we hope, will fuel their dreams. With this initiative,
the Parx Hunt team hopes to touch more lives with every passing year and enrich
the musical journeys of everyone who ever dares to dream.”
