GANGTOK: Rock music fans in India are in for a treat as Girish and The Chronicles (GATC) gear up to open for the legendary Mr. Big on February 16, at the Bangalore edition of the Bloomverse Festival.
For a band from Sikkim that has carried the torch for Indian rock music on global stages, this marks a milestone in their journey, one steeped in admiration and inspiration.
During their formative years, the GATC often paid homage to Mr. Big by covering their iconic tracks like “To Be With You,” “Promise Her the Moon,” and their rendition of “Wild World.” The influence of Mr. Big on GATC’s early years is undeniable, making this shared stage a moment of pure nostalgia and in a way, coming full circle, a press release informs.
Mr. Big has long been a household name across India, with a legacy that transcends generations. Their iconic hits like “To Be With You,” “Shine,” “Daddy, Brother, Lover, Little Boy,” and “Green-Tinted Sixties Mind” have struck a chord with fans everywhere, including Sikkim and surrounding regions.
As the festival approaches, anticipation is building for a night where two generations of rock meet in perfect harmony. For GATC, this is not just another performance—it’s a moment to honor their roots, their heroes, and the power of rock music to bring people together, the release mentions.
