We had forgotten the password of our YouTube account!" laughs Subir Malik, keyboardist for Delhi-based band, Parikrama, which has now been rocking for 28 years. Why they needed the password was because the band, one of India's most legendary, was ready to release an official video for their song, Tears of the Wizard, which was originally written in 2007. The song is a tribute to Lord Of The Rings hero Gandalf the Grey. "There have been videos of us playing live, and things we have done for different platforms. But this is our first official video after But It Rained, which released in 2001," says the 49-year-old. It's also the first time the band has been on YouTube and now on Instagram as well, promoting and talking about their music. Made up of Subir, his brother Nitin, 47, on lead vocals, Sonam Sherpa, 48, and Saurabh Chaudhry, 39, on guitars, Gaurav Balani, 31, on bass and Srijan Mahajan, 32, on drums, the band—formed in 1991 when all were students at Delhi University—had its first hit in But It Rained, which was shot in Spiti Valley. "We did that in 2000, when no one was even shooting there. This time around, we went to Mechuka in Arunachal Pradesh, and the government of Arunachal has funded the video. This is a first for an English indie band," says Subir.

The band, which has been inspired by Pink Floyd and The Doors, has been churning out music for almost three decades, all of which is available for free downloads. In 2007, thanks to Iron Maiden (who was blown away by their level of rock/metal talent), they got to play at the Download Festival in the UK.
