Q. What made you sign up for the Red Bull Soundclash? Would you be open to doing a similar gig in India or Pakistan?
A. You get tired of doing the same kind of stuff, so when we heard about this, it sounded interesting. The concept is unique. It was very important that we felt comfortable with the organisers and their ability to ensure that all technical factors are in place to execute this kind of event. We've worked with Euphoria on several occasions — we even did a song together way back in 2003 — so we share a good relationship, on a friendly note. Our music is pretty much along the same lines too — they're more Rock probably, and we are more Pop, but we meet somewhere along that line. We love making music and everything related to it, so yes, why not! We'd love to do something like this in India or Pakistan!

Q. You have played with Euphoria before, and now you have played against them. What was the mood like in the band?
A. Our first ever live concert in India was with Euphoria. And, we were pleasantly surprised when Palash (Sen) took out a Pakistani and Indian flag stitched together at the end of the show, for the grand finale. So, we have known Euphoria for the past 10-12 years and are good friends. We see Euphoria as an extremely energetic band on stage. In case of Palash, you see him hopping all around the stage. If Palash is all about the energy, Faisal (Kapadia), I guess, holds the stage together like a rock; they counter each other pretty well.
