After 6 names ranging from Numb to The Coochie-Coos, the band finally settled on “Alter Ego” coz it reflected the general laid-back attitude of the band and its interests in fields other than music as well. Formerly known as The Struggle Within, they performed at all inter college competitions, be it rock or western music, along with a host of other shows including Friends of Music and a charity rock show called Escape 2003 where they shared the stage with the likes of Nakshatra, Soundcheck 42 e.t.c., They also played at the rock competition organized by Hindustan Times… The Youth Nexus 2002. Performing and Winning are two sides of the same coin and while they did play at innumerous competitions they also won their fair share of the same. Starting with DCAC in 2001, SBSC in 2002, Miranda House in 2002.
Final permutations & combinations complete, rocking attitude still intact and a metallic resolve to keep head-banging and composing new, original music, ALTER EGO has arrived. Happiest when they’re playing live, the band hopes to have a fully professional career replete with albums, gigs etc., The effort will keep coming in even if the rewards don’t.
