Meet a Mumbai band whose raison d'etre involves playing for charitable causes
Rubber Band performs live
He adds that the outfit also collaborates regularly with another NGO called CanKids, which works towards raising awareness about children with cancer. "We just played a gig for them this Thursday, when a car rally was also flagged off. The drivers will travel through Mumbai to Nashik to Aurangabad and a few other places, spreading the NGO's message," he continues.
Chabria also tells us that the band — which mainly plays covers of rock hits — is performing an opening set for Irish folk group The Kinkellys at a city venue tonight. "It's been two years since we've been playing public gigs outside of charity shows, though playing for a cause remains at the centre of what we do," the vocalist says, revealing how the ethos of the band remains the same as that day in 2008 when he turned busker to do a good turn.
