They have also performed at corporate gigs and concerts.u00a0RLA was formed in early 2005 when a bunch of like-minded musicians decided to come together and play a wide array of live music. While speaking about the Rock scene in the city, Ohol says, &ldquo;Rock is an attitude and there is still a group of people who believe so, albeit less in number. There are many avenues for performing such music as well.&rdquo; <img alt="" src="http://images.mid-day.com/2013/apr/RLA-new.jpg" style="width: 500px; height: 358px;" /> Classic Rock band Retro Legendary Act Ohol reminisces that it was the 1990s which saw a major change in the country&rsquo;s Western music scenario. With influx of new music channels on TV, there was a variety of music easily accessible to the audience. Almost overnight, the tastes changed and listeners wanted the performances to be versatile and not typecast to any specific genre. <img alt="" src="http://images.mid-day.com/2013/apr/Ritesh-Ohol.jpg" style="width: 500px; height: 331px;" /> Ritesh Ohol Commenting on their musical influences is a tough task, observes Ritesh. &ldquo;It is difficult to zero in on a single favourite band/song. We have grown up on a variety of Rock forms and bands; we love classic acts such as Deep Purple, Iron Maiden, Black Sabbath, Santana, Pink Floyd and Scorpions. We are just fresh from a Deep Purple and Scorpions tribute gig at HRC Pune and HRC Bangalore.&rdquo; <h2 class="footer_style"> On: April 4 At: Hard Rock Cafe, Koregaon Park. Call: 67258888u00a0</h2>
