The air is always different when it’s Fossils on stage. And, there was quite a storm at Nicco Park Big Lawn when the stage hosted Fossils Mohajhor, with My Kolkata as the digital partner. Twenty-five years on, the craze surrounding Fossils remains the same. As Rupam, in signature all-black, capered on to the stage with Allan Temjen Ao and Deep Ghosh unleashing their fingers on the guitars’ fretboards, Prasenjit ‘Pom’ Chakraborty cooking the groove with the bass, and Tonmoy Das holding the train from behind the drum set, the crowd went ballisticWith thousands yelling Joy Rock at the top of their voices with the dusk settling in, the venue was the loudest spot in the city. My Kolkata was there to witness the magic unfold.
