The crowd consisted predominantly of 18 - 25 year olds - and did that desist the oldies team at www.asiancommunity.net - NO - we showed the youngsters how its done!

The event had the electricity of a rock concert that would put any heavy metal band to shame. (It still weird seeing a bunch of desi's headbanging and bhangra-ing at the same time though!!!!)

The evening started off with DJs playing a good mix of Bollywood & Bhangra to get everyone in the mood.

The evenings' comperes were Razia & Ray. Razia was a definate hit with the boys - as we were constantly bombarded with "Hai Razia" & "Raziaaaaaa" every time she came on stage!

They introduced a dance troupe from East London - "who danced" & jiggled to everything from 60's tracks to funky arabic tunes.

The dances were followed by a band from San Franciso who had released an album "Born Confused" - and yes - they were definately confused - as nobody could quite make out why they were there.

They sang a few tracks, which seemed to be a fusion of jazz and rock, the predominatly desi crowd were polite for the first two numbers, however soon lost their patience and booed them off stage. Luckily Kashif came to the rescue, and then once Razia came on - all was forgotten & forgiven!

Then finally - they came - they conquered & they crashed the music system! The crowd LOVED it!

They played everything from Dam Mast Qalander to Heereh & a couple of tracks from their new album "Deewar" - the crowd did not stop pumping / jumping and headbanging (even on the slow tracks!).

They were loved & they knew it!

... however as all fairytales come to an end, so did the concert around midnight, with an encore sneaked in at the end.

All in all, it was an amazing experience, with a very well behaved crowd, who were just there to enjoy themselves. A Pakistani Rock Concert.... with no fights... who would've thought of it!
