Rocking up the underground!
By Shamma M. Raghib
Watching the same old boring programs of the Bangla Tv channels? Well, Banglalink and ATN Bangla are here to the rescue with Rock Link, the newest buzz around town! This musical show is going to keep your musical bottoms pinned down on your chair every Thursday midnight! What makes Rock Link more appealing is that it is hosted, directed and scripted by the most prominent musicians, namely Sumon(of Aurthohin) and Jewel(of Miles). Young musicians who have worked behind the scene for a long time to make this show truly different! The show will have various music videos, exclusive interviews of Bangladeshi musicians, concert news, and album news and also SMS quiz contests.
The noticeable stuffs in the first show included Russel's interview, music video of Jewel-Fusion City and also the video of Black's 'Uthshober Porey'. There was also a 'Guitar Clinic' featuring Kamal, with the demostration of the song Oshamajik's guitar cords. The hilarious news reading by The Watson Brother's Arafat also proved that this was a show with a twist! At last the headline in the bottom added up to the 1st show's success, “If you did not like this show, then switch to any other hindi channels”! I bet none of the people who watched the show would switch channels at this hour!
The second show started off with the prominent band Artcell, talking about their upcoming albim 'Oniket Prantor' which is going to be released on November 30, 2005. Also the how aired two music videos, Sumon's (a.k.a Bassbaba) 'Tomar Jonne' (an original John Denver song- Annie's Song) from the album 'Megher Deshey' and Arbovirus's 'Artonad'. Artcell's Shaju appeared next with Rock Link Drum Clinic where he demonstrated parts of their song 'Onno Shomoy' and 'Rahur Grash'. As usual there was the news section with Arafat in lungi and also a very simple SMS quiz question.
In short, Rock Link gives us a reason to watch a Bangla Channel! 20 minutes is a short time and keeps us wanting for more! Starting out on November 10th, Rock Link will be on air every Thursday at 12:10 am midnight, on ATN Bangla channel. Keep watching the most exciting rock music show in Bangladesh!
