Pleasurable Time for Fringe Benefits’ Fans

by

Sadaf Fayyaz

These are good news for the fans of Fringe Benefits. Fringe Benefits was a renowned band in early nineties with two good-looking young boys. A two member group with vocalist Shehryar and Keyboardist Mohemmed Ali, did a marvelous job with two of their song “Tanhai” and “Yeh Zindagi”, aired on Ghazanfar Ali’s Music Channel Charts. After Vital Signs and Awaz, the two most influential bands of Pakistan, this was a time when some new and fresh bands started their music. Many singers started their journey with Music Channel Charts. The band also did a peace song “Pyar Diyan Gallan” with Arid Zone and Fakhr-e-Alam. The album “Tanhai” did pretty well in the mid- nineties. After so many years, the band has decided to do some music again. There was a small session with Shehryar Kureshi of the band. {Read More…}

Ebook: Shahi Hasan: From Vital Signs to a Music Legend by Sadaf Fayyaz

Categorized Under: Classics, Downloads No Comments

Shahzad Hasan (Shahi)The book “Shahi Hasan: From Vital Signs to a Music Legend” encompasses the journey of Shahzad Hasan from his days and works during the times VS was active, to his solo music career and contributions. I finished it in two weeks and it was very difficult to write on such a legend like him. Also, some of the facts, I had to research a lot regarding Vital Signs and their active years. The focus of this book is to provide some insight to Shahi’s fans regarding his solo accomplishments and contributions. I initially had a plan to get in print edition, but couldn’t afford it. So it’s online now. I have been getting a very good feedback from people reading it. It is also a collection of some articles that I have been writing the great band of Pakistan. After the disbanding, the group members have shifted their core energies to different fields. Though, I have tried to be as just as possible with it.

Here is the link for complete online edition

Abbas Ali Khan – Raat Yun Dil Mein Teri (Tribute Song)

Categorized Under: Classics, Downloads, Featured, Female artists, Underground, Videos 2 Comments

This is Abbas Ali Khan’s humble tribute to the Legendary Arshad Mehmood Sahab, Nayyara Noor Ji, and Faiz Sahab. I know we all have memories with this amazing piece as it was the soundtrack of the famous Pakistani Drama Serial “Dhoop Kinare”. No one can re-create the magic of the maestros and i do not intend to do so either but i just tried to add my own flavor to the track and bring back some good old memories. Hope you will like my effort.

Download: The Bugs – Theme From Do Raha

Bio:

The film Do Raha was originally produced in 1952, and then remade in 1971 with a new score from Sohail Rana. The song is the theme track of the film. The Bugs probably were not a real band. They were most likely a studio creation, that may have even been part of the film
