History

Prithibi Home page of Bangla Rock Band Prithibi

In 2001, when three Ashutosh College students, Kaushik, Abhijit and Souvik joined together to form a band, Prithibi was found. Before forming the band, three of them used to jam together at the canteen corner. Among them Kaushik was already a solo artiste and did many projects in and outside Kolkata. Meanwhile, he was also searching for a 'dologoto proyash' i.e. a band to create music.

The band experienced a flurry of line-up changes until 2005, by which time a sort of permanency was attained – Kaushik (vocals), Bubun (guitars), Prosanto (bass), Arnab (drums), Samarpan (guitars) and Amin (keyboards).

2005 was also the year when Prithibi stood first runner up in the competition 'Band-e-Mataram'.

In 2007 they released their first "self-titled" album, Prithibi, which did pretty well. The album also had one of their hit songs, 'O Amar' which topped the charts for weeks.

By the end of 2007 keyboardist Amin left the band for some of his personal reasons. And followed the exit of Samarpan in 2010. And Raja joined as the new guitarist.

Their second album, Chapter II released in 2010. This album was quite successful and got nominated in several award nominations. The song 'Classroom' is a chartbuster.

Their guitarist, Bubun, died on 17 November 2012. Later Sharad Diyali joined as the guitarist of the band.
