Well, many bands came and many of them disappeared quickly in Nepalese music but I can remember very few that have changed the style and lyrics of prevailing Nepalese music or have simply brought in a new genre of music. I still remember when Crossroads came up with their first album, and how every youth pass around their music tape. I wonder how many in Nepal have not heard “Maya meri Maya” or “ Tyo Mutu lai.” And then after them arrived a bandwagon of rock stars in Nepalese music scene which influenced every teenager to want to join or open up a band after SLC. Everyone wanted to be a music artist. Crossroads became the band that played popular music at that time and left their fans without closure after the band mysteriously split. Well, few years down the road, came Robin N Looza. A group of extremely talented musicians with singer who was a nepali and could sing English songs like any other English speaking singers. The type of music, lyrics and the style of song was a bit too hard for the Nepalese fans who were used to chewing the cheesy, love, nepali songs with dance melody. But this changed soon and the band was able to garnish much support and their music became almost like you either love it or hate it. Their stage performance stood up way apart from all the previous musicians. They played rock songs, blues melodies and knew how to keep their fans wanting for more in all of their concerts.
