My bandmate, my brother, my companion, Imran Lodhi, the founding member of ADP passed away last night in Canada. We’re all shocked, and heartbroken. Please pray for him and his family. Imran, we’ll always love you, and we’ll miss you.
Madeeha Syed:
Imran Lodhi of ADP passed away yesterday. Shocked & dismayed at his untimely death. My heart goes out to his friends, family & bandmates.
Given the nature of the current socio-political climate, venues, musicians and organisers are wary of what to expect at a concert. Likewise, the people themselves also share a sense of cautiousness when going out and about. Thankfully, that wasn’t the mood when JoSH, Aunty Disco Project and 90 Degrees performed recently at the Royale Rodale in Karachi.
The concert kicked off with 90 Degrees. Though a relatively unknown band, the members of the group should be commended for performing whilst the organisers were still trying to work out the sound check. This didn’t bode well for 90 Degree’s performance as the sound was all over the place during its performance. However, the band deserved an A for effort as not that many bands can pull off a decent cover of Sajjad Ali’s songs (including Sajjad Ali’s own cover of Didi by Khaled, Babiya). {Read More…}

One of the sources close to Coke Studio reported today that Entity Paradigm and Arif Lohar were found jamming in Coke Studio and are going to be part of the season 3. The source also mentioned that they are going to do a song together too.
I have found the news as much weird as you did but that’s what we have heard.
Rumors also tell that this season will also feature Abida Parveen, Aunty Disco Project and Karavan
After our fantastic gig at the Shanaakht Festival, (November 2009) where we played with Laal, Fuzon, Taal Karisma and Noori, we did what we do best. Put our heads up our asses and disappeared.
Well not entirely. We had noble intentions. Buoyed by the success of Shanaakht we went back into the recording studio with renewed confidence in our abilities. So far the only song we had recorded at Mr. E’s studio was “Mujhay Sahara Do”. Now when we recorded that song with Omar Khalid back in the day ( July 2009), we thought it sounded pretty good. But upon listening to it after 4 months, we realized it was rather shit. We asked Mr. E to mix it for us anyway. Mr. E mixed it in a rather unconventional manner. By also putting his head up his ass. {Read More…}
It’s time I confirmed what many people have suspected, that Omar Khalid, the drummer and founding member of Aunty Disco Project has left the band.
Usually when somebody leaves the band there are rumors of an acrimonious split, whispers of fights and clashing egos. Then each party issues some sort of statement with the usual ‘creative differences’ being listed and how they wish each other well etc. I want to make clear that this truly wasn’t the case with OK leaving.
There were several reasons contributing, but the most prevalent one is that OK’s life plans simply couldn’t accommodate being part of a band full-time. He won’t be in Karachi much longer and he simply couldn’t carry on with us the way we were. {Read More…}

It’s the second Eid and not as festive as the first. This one is about the spirit of sacrifice and of course family time. With a long weekend, it’s also time to kick back and unwind. Instep asked some celebrities what Bakra Eid means to them by giving them the following options and got an insight into what these men are all about.
a. Slaughtering one goat and distributing the meat amongst the less privileged.
b. Slaughtering a couple of goats, bulls and perhaps even a camel and then buying an extra deep freezer to stock meat for the entire year.
c. Nothing, I am a vegetarian and have just joined PETA (Protection and Ethical Treatment of Animals)
d. It means stocking up on movies and spending a couple of days lounging
e. It is the one day I wait for the entire year because my family still gives me Eidi. {Read More…}

As deafening noise emanated from the auditorium at the end of ‘Raag and Roll Concert’, the concluding event of Shanaakht Festival truly brought the house down with some fabulous music played to the full house, which thoroughly enjoyed the four hour spectacle.
With passes running out as early as 10 am on the last day of the festival and waiting list running well into hundreds, it was evident that the event was clearly the hottest ticket in town. {Read More…}
