"…..This band is classic rock n roll mixed with folk rock...mixed with
protest-rock........Lead Vocalist Sanjeev has an amazing voice......
think of him as a Nepalese version of Bruce Springsteen with the angst of Bob Dylan........."
-Harry Post ( Review from Underground 66 )
".....How is it that Sanjeev Gurung isn't a huge star?"....this native of Nepal is the full package-stage presence, an amazing classic rock voice and epic story songs that draw you in and demand your attention.....as a former bass player myself I really enjoyed Ben Bair’s melodic bass lines.........."
- Spike ( Review from Underground 78)
Quasar was well hidden in the misty mountains of Nepal before it finally rose to shine on the sky of struggling Hong Kong Music Scene. The former front man of the Nepalese Band The Boffins'98,Singer/Guitarist,Sanjeev Gurung is the core of Quasar, as well as the principal songwriter of the band,who has been described as "a Nepalese version of Bruce Springsteen with the angst of Bob Dylan."
Originally a solo act during his early days in Hong Kong,Sanjeev then decided to build up a full band to maximize the impact of his epic stories and soaring melodies.With the help of Chris.B.,queen of the Hong Kong Underground music showcase, Sanjeev found bassist/lyricist Ben Bair who had recently arrived from the U.S.after a stint with indie band Fellaheen. After a few line-up changes,Quasar hooked up with Sarad Shrestha,former lead guitarist of popular Nepalese rock band The Axe,and Alexander Bedwell,a script writer by profession,from the U.K.,as a drummer.
Despite full-time jobs,families and fans more used to irony than sincerity in popular music,Quasar gradually fused together rock styles from the 60's through the present to form their own combustible brand of "Revolutionary Rock".After performing throughout Hong Kong and recording two songs on Chris.B.'s Underground Compilation 2-Straight Ahead...Back to Roots, Quasar knew it was time to take the show on the road.
Check Quasar out and discover that truth,love,hope and fun all have a place in Rock 'n' Roll.
