YELLOW HAMMER

A few years back, I watched them performing live at capital hall in Darjeeling and I was truly impressed by these extremely talented young boys. They may be barely in their twenties, but they play with a kind of dexterity which is hard to attain even after years of preparations.
I came to know that the band was formed in the year 2002 and have many awards to their credit including wildfire IIT2005 kharagur, Mangan (Sikkim) beat contest and Alcheringa IIT Guwahatti. They are truly one of the most promising bands in Darjeeling today. They have already launched an album titled ‘yellow hammer’, which contains songs like ‘kina kina’, ‘roi diyo aakash’, ‘question’ amongst others. Like many other post-agitation bands of Darjeeling, they have too succesfully bloomed where they belonged.
Band members:
Pashang (guitars/ vocals)
Samten (drums)
Ashim (keys)
Nishant(Bass guitar)
Pranay (guitar)
