Kathmandu- Abhaya and The Steam Engines had an outstanding performance in Highlander Gharma Session. A small clip and photo was shared on Facebook stating, “ When you decide you want to have 8 members in the band. Thank you Ramesh Dong and Neharika Shahi for joining us for backing vocals. Sarik Bogati on drums, Sarada Dongol on maadal and percussions”.
Here’s the photo:
Although Abhaya and the Steam Engines have been classified as a rock band since the release of their self-titled first album in 2005, they actually lean more toward non-genre music. This band has continuously experimented with the various musical possibilities since its beginnings in 2003. They have worked to keep their sound fluid and ever-evolving, from their first hit Sakdina, which established them as a rock band, to their most recent release, “Laijau Malai” (a collaboration with DJ Bidhan and Zanrix and inspired by Lofi EDM).
