Rock Sensation Mizmaar Performs Unplugged For City Sessions

After receiving rave reviews and praises from music fans for their comeback single Jee Loonga, South Asian rock sensation Mizmaar is now ready to take their fans on a new musical high with the band’s performance on the popular CityFM89 City Sessions, the first two videos of which have just been released starting from this past Friday.

Following the standard theme of City Sessions, the band is seen performing an exclusive and intimate set in the CityFM89 studios. The first video, which released on 15^th May’15 featured the band performing their comeback single Jee Loonga. While the original has already proved to be a chartbuster, this version has been performed with raw passion accompanied by starkly contrasting, toned down instruments. The second video was released on 18^th May’15 featuring Mizmaar’s original song Pal, which was one of their biggest hits from the album Sitara. Mashhad Shahryar showcases his vocal prowess with this frothy fresh version of the original. His vocals exude that great energy which is required in such acoustic rock numbers. The band also performed Thinking Out Loud (cover of original by Ed Sheeran), which will be released next week on CityFM89’s official Facebook page.

Sharing his experience of performing at the CityFM89 studios, front man Kashan Admani said: “Recording City Sessions at the CityFM89 studios was a superb experience. We love live performances and with City Sessions we got a chance to showcase Mizmaar’s acoustic sound. We would love to revisit City Sessions in the future”.

About Mizmaar

Formed by guitarist Kashan Admani, fusion pop-rock band Mizmaar rose to fame in their native Pakistan with their debut album Kash, the release producing two hit singles for the songs ‘Kash’ and ‘Laut Ke Aa’ in 2003. Their second album, Sitara, was released worldwide on Universal Music in 2007, and spawned the hits ‘Hai Pyar Kya’ and ‘Sitara,’ the latter landing on a soundtrack to the Hollywood film ‘Dragon War.’

Despite their early success, the band was plagued by several personnel changes, prompting Kashan to focus more on his recording studio and commercial music production company, collaborating with longtime friend, band mate and drummer Alfred D’Mello. For several years to follow, the band was silent until Kashan and Alfred happened upon a young vocalist [name to be revealed soon!]: this phenomenally talented singer immediately had the two thinking seriously about reforming Mizmaar with a new front man and revitalizing their sound. The new vocalist brings a new strength to the band, combining classic eastern influences with a western pop attitude. There is currently a new album in the works. This widely anticipated comeback is due to be released soon, along with a video directed by Kashan featuring the newly recharged lineup.
