 India's first boy band, A Band of Boys
(ABOB),
comprising of four extremely talented boys,
Karan Oberoi, Sherrin Varghese,
Chin2 (Chaitanya) Bhosle
and Siddhaarth Haldipur.
The music for their 1st album
‘Yeh Bhi Woh Bhi’ has been released in
August 2002 and obtained a phenomenal response
(with the song ‘Meri Neend’
spearheading the sales!) subsequently leading
to sales crossing 1,00,000 units in less then
a fortnight of its launch! The album sales did
so well that two more videos were shot and the
album re-released as ‘Gori’ with the
song Gori spearheading the sales this time!
ABOB’s
debut film, 'Kiss Kis Ko', was
released in October 2004 with the boys not
just having starred in it but having composed
the music themselves! Within 3 weeks of the
music release, the album vanished from the
shelves.
While ABOB are essentially
singers, they have been trained in all aspects
of stagecraft culminating in their stage shows
being something to watch out for – the boys
sing, dance & act, and their shows are modeled
on Broadway performances abroad. While Hindi
music (Indipop and film music) is their forte,
they also sing English numbers. |
