Singer KK and Irish band Frantic Jack rock the stage at IIT Delhi's cultural fest

The first day of IIT Delhi's
cultural fest, Rendezvous, started on a slightly
dull note, but the energy levels picked up
when Irish band Frantic Jack took the stage
and started off the concert with their hit
number, Hold On.
Niel Kakkar, a second year student of IIT-D,
said, "I've never heard about Frantic Jack, but
now that they are here, I think they are
pretty amazing and cool. Their music is really
good." Adding to this, Mayank Jain, a third
year student of the college, said "It's always
better when bands perform their own songs.
The college bands have been performing
songs by popular bands and that was really
dull." As the IIT students appreciated the
little-known Irish band, the much hyped
annual fest had its usual number of fans in
attendance. An excited Bhumika Batra, a
student of Netaji Subhas Institute of
Technology, told us, "This is so awesome.
Rendezvous is always great."
Of KK, fire dancers and HINDI rock:
Rendezvous' Spectrum Night on day 2 saw
Hindi alternative rock band, The Local Train,
opening for B-Town singer KK. Fire dancer
Ana Sofia was up next, as she danced and
juggled to bass-dominant tracks,
synchronizing the flaming props to the beats.
But the much-awaited performance everyone
was anticipating was KK's gig, and he arrived
just before the audience ran out of patience.
A regular performer at IIT Delhi, KK spoke
about how he had first performed at IIT as a
student and won the competition. A quick
throwback to the good ol' college days was
followed by an over the top performance by
the singer as he made the IIT-ians swoon to
hit singles like O Meri Jaan, Tu Hi Meri Shab
Hai, Khuda Jaane Kyun and Zara Si Dil Mein.
DRONE TOH BANTA HAI: Drones are now the
'in' thing, it seems. Spotted at almost every
event nowadays, how could it not be present
at the technological hub of the capital? The
drone at KK's concert definitely upped the
energy level as it covered the entire arena,
keeping the excitement levels of the crowd
high.
