I'm truly Disappointed ......

The self-titled debut album of my EX-BAND named 'Prachir' which was originally called 'Arko(TM)' got released a few days back in Kolkata. But to my surprise, they didn't even mention the name of any of the old members' name at even a single corner of the packaging. It's my opinion on ethical grounds that they should have at least put something along the lines of "Thanks to all the old members of the band" or something that sort.

The 'Bengali Band Scenario' started with a true sense of community once upon a time. But this event really shows how suffocated the scenario really is right at this moment of time. All the people who were involved in the band in the past are:-

- Nilanjan Sen.
- Sayantan Biswas (me that is).
- Sourayan Biswas.
- Shankhayan AKA 'Babumoshai'.
- Anwesha Gupta.
- Swagato Kar AKA Bappan.
- Uma Kanto AKA Umz.
- Vikram.
- Somedeb AKA Tutul.
- Aninda AKA Laltu.
- Nilanjan Paul AKA Pappu.
- Palash Da.
- Debdulal Das AKA 'DD'.
- Debashish AKA Potla.
- Tirthankar (though for a very few days).
- Debankan (I was noted quite late that he'd been in the band for almost 10 months).
- Sayan (not sure about him though).
- Prodosh Da (almost forgot about him).

Now if they claim 'Prachir' is a fresh setup, they might as well have got rid of the numbers 'Porichoy' and 'Hotash Prithibi'. Anyways, what is done is done. I don't want to crib so much about it. This marks a sad day for Bangla Rock and Bengali Rockers.

Edit:- This whole issue just flashed so many old memories in my mind. I just thought of sharing 2 very old pictures with all of you.

This is a photo of one of the Arko line-ups(really really old):

This is a photo of the 'first' Prachir line-up:
An old Amadergaan Forum Thread about Arko and Prachir respectively

Apparently Mister Indro (the present keyboardist) claims me and Sourayan haven't played a single show with the name of 'Prachir'. Comedy time? Yes it is. BWAHAHAHAHA. :D

Indro you seriously didn't see this coming. Right? :P

I too played in Prachir for roughly a period of 4-5 months. Played three shows with them.

well i agree wit you on this ; we all know it was never a band formed overnight.., what i'd known and noticed over these few years is that arko evolved into prachir.. people came people left.. a lot of changes.. bt well ami jodio dekhini oder album ta., bt tui jaa bolchhish.., i expected a 'history' section to b there..,
-- one of the most important parts about a band is always the way it grows up.. its something major to talk about for bands.. i think they screwed up ekhane!

~*~LeGi+iMa+E fReaK~*~ said...

however, at some level ,i've been friends with both you guys and them.. hope people change for good..; cuz life's too fckkin short to keep grudges dude..

as for you.. this is the best move you could take on your part to bring it out to the forefront.. its transparent and i know of it.. and m sure many of us know of it..,

talk it out.. wid a lotta 'war' goin all around anyways.. lol we dont need newer ones ! heh

\peace/

The 1st album of any band is not just sentimental to the existing members. The ex members who did put in a lot of time and sweat do still have some sentiments attached to it. THey do deserve even a passing refferance.

Sayantan "Satan" Biswas said...

@ Debankan:

Forget sentiments, the number 'Porichoy' was completely composed by me, the lyrics written by Nilanjan Sen and the arrangement done by Sourayan. Except for tweaking/changing a few words, it's still that exact same song.

Now literally speaking, how can you have a song of somebody without even putting a single mention of the original author? Heck, I can even SUE them without any doubt. Not that it would be too difficult. This is disrespect to the community man.

But I do agree 'Hotash Prithibi' has been changed upto like 35% to 40%. But I still think it's not legitimate to not put the original authors' name even in this case.

Debankan said...

It makes sense, cause there's hardly one number of theirs that matches up to Porichoy

i would appreciate that you been a loser stop shouting. start appreciating a simple fact that someone has the ability , i repeat , ability to produce a album with his own efforts. losers go to Dhapa, and if you want your name at the cover and acknowledgment kindly provide HONEY ( oops ) i mean money (Prachir owes money and hence MY name gets reflected on their cover ). learn to be practical Kiddie. AND LIKE MY GRANDFATHER AND DONT TALK ABOUT WHAT HAPPENED IN 1872. DONT BEHAVE LIKE MAMTA.

roychoudhuri said...

ANYWAY ONE MORE QUESTION ? DO YOU HAVE THE LEGAL COPYRIGHT KIDDO ? IF NOT GET BACK TO YOUR MOM'S ......... , YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN THATS THE BEST PLACE TO WEEP

roychoudhuri said...

MR.LEGITIMATE - WELL START CHECKING YOUR HISTORILOGY - EARN YOUR LEGAL TITLE THEN COME BACK AS LIGA'TE PREACHER.

roychoudhuri said...

Learn it - that a reference is made only when the source helps. when the source is a parasite it needs a kick in the ASS. hence accept the efforts who has produced something in life. start helping that being a mom's loser

roychoudhuri said...

i feel that the mentality of the writers are of like Mamta. when would bengal rise from these BORN LOSERS CRAB MENTALITY ? DO SOMETHING CONSTRUCTIVE BEFORE PROCLAIMING SOMETHING YOU HAVE DONE. AFTER ALL " ALL THESE REMARKS OF YOURS REFLECT THE FRUST'NS YOU ALL HAVE WHO HAVE FAILED TO PERFORM AND CREATE A MARK BUT CHOOSE TO RUN AWAY FROM THE CIRCUIT

roychoudhuri said...

INBETWEEN DEBANKAN HOW ARE YOUR TWO SWELLED BREASTS DOING ? ANY WORTH LISTED COST QUOTE FOR THE TWO ASSETS YOU HAVE ? OR YOU ARE STILL WEEPING FOR A PROSPECTIVE RELATIONSHIP ( DONT WORRY MY SOURCES SAY GAY RELATIONSHIPS WOULD SOON GET LEGALISED IN INDIA TOO )

roychoudhuri said...

SAITAN BHAI BARI JA NA - AFTER ALL YOU RAN WAY FROM KOLKATA WITHOUT ANY MARK

roychoudhuri said...

MR. ILLG'MATE BY THE WAY WHAT YOU DO IN IT OPERATIONS ? I HAVENT HEARD YOUR NAME ANYWAY IN THE WORLD OF "WORK FORCE MANAGEMENT " ITS A VERY SMALL WORLD IN WFM.

Sayantan "Satan" Biswas said...

One question for you Mister Roy Choudhuri: 'How old are you? No offense but your comments look like that of a 5 year old. I'm surprised by the intelligence of such a small kid who seems quite active with going through blogs and all. Tumi desher naam ujjol korbe.' :)

An its really difficult to sue an anonymous spammer.

Sayantan "Satan" Biswas said...

OMG Mr Anonymous, you're hilarious with your sense of humour. But do something constructive with it. Try for 'laughter challenge' or something. But the humour of your posts decreases to half if you omit the offensive languages you've used. In that case you have to work a bit on that. ;)

I don't believe ex members leave bands cause they lack musical merit. Professional music really is a pathetic source of income, which even the members of Prachir will testify(I know for a fact that one of them works at a call center, another is looking for a big job and a 3rd one works as an event manager).


The ex members have some family, responsibilities, and they also have the ability to earn much better than the measly income from music.
