There's nothing about Delhi fusion rock band Mrigya's performance that would draw us back for another show.
Usually, it's fair to give the band at least half an hour to warm up, but an hour into the gig, and Mrigya left us unmoved. What makes a 10-year-old well- travelled band so boring? There's no spark -- Mrigya sounds like a jingle for an Indian tourism ad -- and the band desperately needs some new songs. The audience, which was mostly the band's friends and family cheered on as Mrigya delivered tracks such as Ganga and Let's Raag where violinist Sharat Chandra Srivastava, bassist Indraneel Hariharan and guitarist Karan Sharma got a chance to show off. Sufi vocalist Ghulam Qadir Niyazi's stage histrionics wereu00a0 the most entertaining aspect of the show. Mrigya offered forced fusion, nothing else.
