RLA is a no-holds-barred cover act based out of Pune that also pays homage to outfits like Scorpions, Deep Purple and others who fall directly under the classic rock oeuvre. The band has a keyboardist, drummer, bassist, lead guitarist and singer, an ideal musical recipe for the type of tracks they play. Vocalist Vijay Joshi informs us that he started the group in 2005, back when the prevalence of rock music had slowly started waning. At this concert, they will turn back time with Pink Floyd’s greatest hits including Time, High hopes and Money. “I wouldn’t call their music classic rock, though. They had their own sound that’s difficult to play. It requires a lot of rehearsing and understanding on stage,” Joshi says.

He adds that his own musical journey started with a band called Strangers, who were contemporaries of legendary act Rock Machine in the 1980s. “Back then, the shows we did had nothing less than 5,000 to 10,000 people. But these days, there is an overdose of music on various platforms. Live performances [the way they used to be] have died,” Joshi says, highlighting how times have changed so much that even ‘retro’ as a word has an altered definition these days.
