Details:
Dust of Vraj is an independent band that tours the U.S., Japan, Europe, Australia, India, South America and Russia. Their first single release "Chant the Mantra" sold over 20,000 copies in Japan in the first six months of its release. A.K.- "This was just a live recording of a few songs we spontaneously jammed out in our project studio. We never intended to release it as a c.d." But as fate would have it, a local Tokyo musician who received a copy loved the music so much that he got it on the radio and in clubs around Japan. A.K.- "The next thing you know we were on a flight to Tokyo to play some sold out gigs." That was the birth of the highly eclectic mantra rock band Dust of Vraj. A.K.- "What makes our music different is that we fuse ancient mantra's, instruments, and rhythms from India with all the toys of western alternative rock. The Harmonium, Mirdanga, and Chanting really paints dramatic dimensions. That's our niche, we tastefully blend world rhythms, with alternative rock."
The band is currently touring Europe as well as working on the pre production of there first E.P. set to be released in 2009. A.K.- "Our intention is to tell a story about the current state of the world and take people on an intimate journey influenced by tribal Indian culture. We want to give the remedy for all the hardships we face everyday. I have seen it with my own eyes, when we play live the crowd goes into a deep trance they forget themselves; they forget time and space as we perceive it in material dimensions. These powerful Mantras awake a dormant side of everyones heart. There is a huge difference between transcendental sound and our every day vocabulary. Many of these Mantras were kept secret amongst high priests for thousands of years. We fortunately tapped into this secret after a life changing trip to India. I really feel that we have something the rest of the world has never heard before in this kind of musical fusion. It is our nature to give, so by giving divine sound to the next generation of rockers is a huge privilege and a great honor."
