THE music landscape of the '70s was a bubbling cauldron of new sub-genres of rock, birthing some of the most iconic musicians of the time. Referred to as the glorious period in the West, its concerts were often pictured with a young crowd clad in bell bottoms, beady necklaces and tie-dye prints, revelling in the riffs of artists like Led Zeppelin, The Doors and Pink Floyd. It was in the same decade that the genre had spread its tentacles to India, giving way to a similar hoard of young fans and budding rock artists in the country.
Trailing the hippie beginnings of rock music in India at the time, The Extraordinary Life of Max Bulandi (Harper Collins) by Sidharth Singh weaves a story around a mysterious yet charming rock icon. The book, as it recommends readers old and new artists alike, explores the rising counterculture in the country, while also swinging into an adventurous journey in search of the said mysterious rebel.
