Stone Cold… the band

This band hailed from B’lore. An out and out rock band, they had a few originals too. Pity that their line-up kept changing. Had heard them open for Shiva once at B’lore. Personally knew the drummer and lead guitarist, Hamesh and Suresh, who were part of Primitive Knights before, along with their rhythm guitarist Rajesh. Sadly the band is no more. They had a great vocalist in Vineeth once and then they had the ex-Shiva man Viju fronting them. Guitars too changed from Suresh to Sanjay. I think only the drummer remained constant.

Stone Cold… the show

This was in 1997. The venue was Beach Hotel lawns. This was done under the banner of Rotaract Club of Calicut. The sound and light was by Sapna Sounds, Calicut. We got Sydney of Reynolds to come and take over the controls. He did a great job.

They did a good range of songs. The guitar playing of Sanjay Chandrakanth was impressive. A good show. Marred by rain.

The line-up… Sooraj on vocals. Sanjay Chandrakanth on lead/rhythm guitar, Lloyd on bass and vocals, Hamesh on drums, Don on keyboard.
Sooraj is currently fronting the famous Band MOTHERJANE.

Rotaract broke even…. I think.
