How did the band come about?
Antariksh came about back in 2012, however the roots of the band were laid way before. Founder of the band, Varun Rajput used to play in a bunch of popular progressive rock bands Feedback and Under Siege from 2006 to 2010 before entering the corporate world as a management consultant. Once that happened, music took a back-seat - however as he mentions, all through his college years, he had dreamt of and wanted to explore the possibility of making a career out of playing music. After having worked in the corporate world for a few years, he decided to get back and give a serious shot at pursuing music as a full-time career. Fortunately, at the same time, his friends Mridul Ganesh and Gurtej Singh also had a similar ideas and came along. In August 2012, the three of them got together to write a bunch of songs and kickstarted Antariksh. Fortunately, Antariksh’s first single, ‘Dheere Dheere’ which was released in early 2013 did really well, which further propelled the band to write more music for their first album and take Antariksh more seriously. However, around 2014 Mridul left for the US and Gurtej also had to leave the band in 2015 as he was struggling to manage his day-job along with Antariksh since the band became more and more busy with touring. After Gurtej’s departure from the band, Varun has met, jammed with and got on board some amazing full-time musicians based out of Delhi. In the beginning of 2017, Varun met a keyboard player and singer, Joshua Peter who joined the band as a full-time member and two of them have been spearheading efforts towards working on Antariksh’s upcoming album. The present line up of the band has Varun Rajput on Lead Vocals and Guitars, Joshua Peter on Keyboards and Vocals, Shrikant Biswakarma on Guitars and Backing Vocals and Dan Thomas on Drums.
