Ad men Rajeev Raja and Subhash Kamath’s band Wanted Yesterday is an ode to the crazy world of advertising. It also celebrates their music of choice from the 60s and 70s

Q. What prompted two ad men to form a band?
SUBHASH: Well, I grew up in a music-loving household, but didn’t have any formal training. I have learnt by playing with friends and colleagues, and the more you play, the better you become. Some years ago, Rajeev and I were together at an agency and we got a request to perform at an ad industry event. That’s how this band started. After playing a few gigs for our industry friends, we thought ‘why not play for the public too?’ blueFROG gave us our first break and that turned out to be a big success, and there has been no looking back ever since. We’re a group of friends, really, who enjoy performing with each other and trying out new things.
