Agnee (band)

Agnee

Agnee is an Indian rock band based in Pune. The band's debut album "Agnee" was released on 15 May 2007. Since then, they have released several singles and used an Internet-based free distribution model to gather a large following in the rock music circuit in Mumbai, Pune, Delhi, and Ahmedabad. The band continues to extend its reach across India through their 'Create with Agnee' venture in collaboration with Radio Mirchi.[1] They have also collaborated with Grammy winner and bass player Etienne Mbappe from Cameroon to release its first Punjabi Song.[2]

Etymology

The word agnee comes from the word agni in Sanskrit for "fire" (noun), cognate with Latin ignis (the root of English ignite), Russian ogon (fire), spelled agon and ogni, spelled agni (fires).

History

Agnee was formed in 2006 and soon signed by Sony BMG. Agnee is one of very few Indian rock bands to have signed a major label record deal.[3][4] The band consists of Koco, lead guitarist, Mohan, lead vocalist. Their music contains strong Carnatic and Hindustani classical influences that are popular among the fans.

Music

Agnee's music is a collective of individual styles of composing and performing: Koco with his Classic rock, Pop and Indian influences and Mohan with his Carnatic and Hindustani classical influences.

Agnee's music showcases all of the above and the compositions in the first album vary in style accordingly. The songs move in genre from Folk rock and Pop-Rock to straight up Pop, and incorporate elements of Funk, Jazz and Carnatic music as well.

The band will soon make its Bollywood debut with Deepak Tijori's next project 'Rockin Love'. The band will not only compose music for the film but will also have some of the band members act in it.[5]
