Bangalore Music Scene - Our Take
Bangalore's music scene has taken its course to build and grow over the years. Fifty years ago, Bangalore was a pensioner's paradise with peace and calm. The live music scene was set, and you could listen to any genre you liked. Around the 1970s, these live concerts gained traction, and people performed in parks. These bands were responsible for the "Indie" scenes in India. However, the authorities thought this promoted western culture in India and stopped the events.
However, Bangalore has contributed immensely to the Indian Jazz scene. Recreational clubs and restaurants had weekly gigs and in-house bands. Some of the bands have performed all over the country. Today, Bangalore hosts some of the best concerts, and many renowned artists come to Bangalore for their gigs. There are several places in Bangalore you can go to if you love live music!
Here are places to check out:
Indian Music Experience, or IME, is India's only interactive museum in Bangalore. If you live in the city and are a music enthusiast, you should definitely experience it. It is an interactive museum where you can find musical instruments of stalwarts and several stories behind popular songs. There is a sound garden that makes tunes out of unusual things. You should definitely visit this place once.
People praise Big Pitcher for its music and all the amazing yet chill vibe it provides. If you feel like singing along or dancing to the tunes of great music, Big Pitcher is your place to be. It is a popular hangout amongst youngsters. Their service also is greatly appreciated by their visitors.
