Om Grown (part 1)

Zee Sa Re Ga Ma Pa had this battle of the bands series way back in late 90's when this was aired. While some other bands played some ordinary music, these guys, "Om Grown" band from Mumbai some impressive jazz-fusion music. Although their vocals were mediocore, but their music rocked.
Some of the musicians:
1. Paresh Kamath (Guitars, awful vocals)
2. Naresh Kamath (Guitar, awful vocals)
3. Kurt Peters (Drums)

Not sure when the band started and how long it survived, but Kamath Bros and Kurt Peters were last seen playing with Band Kailasa (with Kailash Kher). And Naresh Kamath was heard playing some awe-freakin-some bass on Mallu Prog Rock band Avial (search youtube).

Judges:
Leslie Lewis (of Colonial Cousin fame)
Sandeep Chowta

Hope you enjoy! (Don't forget to see the part II)

@slipperysky Yeah ... though vocals are little off, but never really bothered me! The instrumentation is top-notch! In fact, I like this version better than 'Bheeg Gaya...'

OMG. The audience is so clueless. Seriously.
