FIREBALL is one of the major musical events organised
around the city of Guwahati, initiated solely by Rocka Rolla
a Guwahati based event management company who
has been active in a variety of shows and promoting local
acts from the northeast and has also progressed with the
objective to promote the music scene in the region. The
concept of FIREBALL came to the mind when David Koch was
on his way to Katra from Jammu where he saw an ARMY
CANTONMENT ‘Ball of Fire’. And “The idea just struck him”
why not hold an event for the armed forces? It’s an honour to
do anything for them.
The whole idea of FIREBALL, is to encourage the youth to join
Armed Forces and to keep music alive.
The first FIREBALL was organised on May 4 ‘08at Shilpagram
in Guwahati which brought together 10 music bands from the
region as well as Delhi performing on one stage to the delight
of the sizeable music lovers of the region, mainly the youth
brigade in memory of Nupur Bordoloi (1971-2008) who was a
very promising western musician from Guwahati but his work
and talent was cut short sadly due to his passing away earlier
this year at a very young age.
Second edition of FIREBALL was on 14th of Feb ’10 which
saw the likes of BHAYANAK MAUT as the crowd enjoyed
with the gruels of Vinay and riffs of Baba. The same crowd
was mesmerised by the soothing tones of Angarag Mahanta
and his band EAST INDIA COMPANY. The show was in the
memory of LATE CAPTAIN JINTU GOGOI (VEER CHAKRA
recipient).
Fireball III will be back on 29th of May, 2011 at Shilpagram
and promises to be much bigger. This year Fireball is
dedicated to the memory of great musicians we lost along the
way Mr. Ashish Adhikari, Mr.Dhruba Sarma and Mr. Rakesh
Barua all of them were very instrumental in promoting music
and inspiring the young generation to do good music .
FIREBALL III to be headlined by INDUS CREED (Mumbai)
along with SHADES of RETRIBUTION (Assam) & ALICE IN A
WONDERLAND (Nagaland)!
Fireball as a platform to showcase real talent by any
performers has been heading towards its goal of
achievement, inspiring and encouraging many an aspirants.
As in the previous occasions, this time also Fireball III will
surely play appositive role in creating an awareness of rock
music among the new generation in the truest sense of the
term for a greater cause aiming at patriotism and dedication
to the motherland.
