Pune-based Agnee band set to rock South Bombay this Saturday

Mohan Kannan and Kaustubh Dhavale in performance

With their soulful lyrics woven into rock rhythms, Agnee has been one of the pioneers of the Indian rock scene. As the Pune-based outfit returns to the city for a weekend gig, we connect with lead vocalist Mohan Kannan and guitarist Kaustubh Dhavale AKA Koco for their plans while in Mumbai.

LISTEN
Mohan Kannan: I couldn't miss listening to Chamkila. The song, Vida karo, has been everywhere on social media. I haven't yet sat down and listened to it entirely, but that is on my list.

Kaustubh Dhavale: I am currently grooving to the new EP, Mirage, by Plini. The other album I love is Reborn by Infected Mushroom. If you are in the mood for some progressive rock, I recommend Pineapple Thief's studio album, Your Wilderness.

CHILL
MK: I am more of a homebody. My house is my happy place, and is open to all my friends. I tend to call them home after a gig or when they are in town.
KD: I love to party. When I lived in Mumbai, WTF in Andheri was my go-to destination. I still go out when I find the time. My 23-year-old son keeps telling me I need to slow down, but I don't think so.

EAT
MK: I love South Indian. I cook, albeit rarely. My mum taught me to make rasam and bisi bele bath. Tanjore Tiffin Room is one of my favourites. It is either this or Punjabi fare like chole bhature on a day off.

KD: In Versova, I stayed near the fishing village. We had a regular fish seller who would deliver fresh fish every day. I miss this in Pune, and plan to check things out while I am here. I love Tanjore Tiffin Room's food, especially their Kerala parotta and mutton curry.

TIMEPASS
MK: My addiction is now Sudoku. Not the ordinary puzzles but the variant ones. It feels like an achievement.

KD: I am a biker; I love the road. Though, I avoid doing a lot of off-roading now.
