For over more than a decade, DJs have reigned supreme, but recently there has been a shift as many Mumbaikars are opting for live bands. With the wedding season here, mid-day.com spoke to three city bands who have been in the thick of things

The Vindaloos are a band that get as Goan as they get in Mumbai. They're not your regular four-piece rock band but one that plays delightful and foot-tapping English and Konkani music just like they do in Goa for weddings and ceremonies. If you've heard 'Maka Tuch Zai', 'Saiba Bhogos' and 'Find My Way', from 'Rainbow Rishta' recently, now you know who's sung it.
Started just before the Covid-19 pandemic by Kristofor Mendonca and his father Agnelo Mendonca, by chance, it has materialised into so much more. It happened after they were contacted by Aadyam Theatre for a play based in Goa called 'Loretta', and they haven't looked back ever since.
