Indian bands to perform at Hard Rock fest?

Hard Rock Café’s annual festival, Hard Rock Calling 2011, will be held in June this year.
The concert, which will see performances by over 40 well-known artistes including Rod Stewart, Bon Jovi and Stevie Nicks, will also see four amateur bands from across the world performing alongside these great artistes. Over forty bands from around the world have been short listed for the concert.And now, India has two band entries for the event, Fusion band Swarathma from Bangalore and Funk and reggae music group Bombay Bassment from Mumbai.
The two bands were chosen from 100 bands across the country during the café’s Battle of the Bands event, which took place in January. This is an initiative by Hard Rock Café to give local bands a global platform to showcase their music, and also perform alongside international performers and various music legends. People can vote for the bands by logging onto the Hard Rock Café website. Voting will end on April 25.
