Alliance Française de Trivandrum, in association with The Times of India, Air France, Somatheeram and Bhima presents:
Rock on Fortune.
At the End of 2007, Fortune released their first Ep, an intense delivery of four Synth Pop-Rock bangers brightly crafted to simultaneously create uproar in the crowd as well as stir the emotions inside you. Whereas most bands now labelled as ‘post-punk’ are clearly heir to one or more mythical acts (take your pick from Joy Division, Talking Heads, Gang of Four, Depeche Mode, The Cure, Human League, New Order etc), Fortune goes against the flow : if you can spot, here and there, a few familiar sounds from those artists in the band’s music, the references put forward by the front man range from 60s Pop Rock bands such as the Zombies, The Troggs or Love, to basic Disco for its rhythm, or even the “King of Pop” himself Michael Jackson. “Staring at the Ice Melt”, their first album, is the result of a well rounded-off effort, with various contrasts evolving around writing and production. Enough to spike your curiosity to see the band convert this into a live performance; an attempt that should be rewarding since all four musicians have proven their worth in the past, whether with Fortune or with their previous tryouts.
