Their last gig in Mumbai was in 2018. A year later, Alobo Naga & The Band, a four-piece rock band from Nagaland, is back with a more evolved sound. The outfit, which came together when Dimapur boys Alobo Naga (lead vocals, keyboard), Lima Mongro (lead guitar, backing vocals), Fung Walling (bass, backing vocals) and David Sunar (drums) met nine years ago, shot to fame in 2011 after the video of their single Painted Dreams went viral. They were also nominated for a prestigious Music Award in Europe in 2012. While their songs still talk about the issues the youth can relate to - love, break-ups, dreams and broken ones too - their music has traversed across the wide spectrum of rock music. We catch up with them at their gig at Flea Bazaar Cafe in Lower Parel.

How did the band come together?
