The mosh heads North!

Having played numerous gigs and in Mumbai and Pune, winning hearts and causing neck pain by the bulk, it is time for the Horse to march up North and proclaim a new territory.

Yes ladies and gentlemen, Ashwamedh will be playing their first gig in North India as a headlining act at SURGE 2011, the annual festival of National Institute of Technology, Kurukshetra.

The band is super excited and eagerly waiting to unleash their brand of GenNXT Hindi Rock to a crowd they wanted to play for right since the beginning.

As a token of appreciation to all the fans who have made us what we are, 'Aelaan' will be up for free download post this gig. Take the mosh home people \m/

Ashwamedh opens for Salim-Sulaiman @ ISBM Crescendo 2011

Catch Ashwamedh LIVE along side Bollywood stalwarts Salim-Sulaiman Merchant @ Raaga Lawns, Koregaon Park on February 26th 2011. People this is gonna be one hell of a grand musical evening and we would be glad to have you all there!

Today Salim and Sulaiman are among Bollywood’s hottest music directors, and everyone is dancing to their tunes. By incorporating western, folk, Hindustani and Sufi influences to their music, the duo has managed to enthrall audiences across the world and not only keep up with the changing face of India’s film industry, but also help redefine it.

When they aren’t taking over Mumbai’s B-town, they’re composing jingles for television commercials of India’s leading brands including Visa, Raymond and Pepsi; or producing albums for a long list of artists such as Adnan Sami, Voodoo Rapper, Style Bhai, Shweta Shetty and many more. The Indian audience also identifies television channel Sony and hit shows including Bigg Boss and Khatron ka Khiladi (Fear Factor) by the music created by this duo. They have previously been seen on many shows including Chak De Bacche (9X), Sa Re Ga Ma Grand Finale (Zee) and even been the face for Raymond Suitings. This year Indian Idol 5 puts them in the spotlight with Salim on the panel of judges in search for India’s next singing superstar.

The Show MUST Go On...!

"Why can't we get all the people together in the world that we really like and then just stay together? I guess that wouldn't work. Someone would leave. Someone always leaves. Then we would have to say good-bye. " - Charles M. Schulz

Hi everyone, we know it has been a while since we have posted and all that silence is not without a reason…

We are saddened to announce the departure of our Lead Guitarist, AV from the band. He has been with Ashwamedh since the later half of 2009, till date.

Force, Zest and Attitude... Redefined!!!

A 700 strong crowd, running on an over dose of adrenaline and Ashwamedh was what it took to redefine the motto of FORZA 2010 and kick off ISB&M's biggest annual festival with a blast!

ISBM crowds have always been a treat to play for but this was something very special. With students from all four corners of the country at the venue, one could only expect the evening to get noisier and noisier by the minute...

Starting off with a metal version, of the famous Bollywood song 'Rukmani', as the sound check, was enough to instigate the crowd to break the security cordon and dash towards the stage! Now that should give you a slight idea of how crazy it has been for us at the gig \m/

With the crowd already on a serious high, there could not have been a more opportune time to unleash our latest original 'Musafir'. The response needless to say was inexplicable... Thank you each and every one of you for appreciating our music.

3 Quarter Ek Pint, yet again was a HUGE hit with the crowds. The funny thing is... somehow, everyone seems to connect with this song, irrespective of whether you drink or not. Maybe its time to make it our booze anthem...what say? :-P

With necks already sore and bodies dripping in sweat, it was time to bring on the heavy artillery. Soon all females in the house were asked to let their hair down...it was time for some major head banging...yes it was time for Ode and Aelaan \m/

However, this was not quite the end of the evening. How could it be? Sutta song was not played yet :-). Chants of Sutta was all that one could hear... so there was only one thing to do... play it!

The show finally culminated with a long but interesting 7 minute sutta song... Phew!! Looking back on the whole gig, all we can say is...........

This ones gonna remain in our hearts for a long long while... Thank You All

Finally, BIG thanks to Mr. Kaushal Kavekar for capturing the moments brilliantly on his camera. In spite of all the pushing, pulling, the pits... you have always made us look killer on stage...hats off to you \m/
