‘We have gone little slow during the past few months and now the time has come to revamp the band for the current trend’ Chandani said.
The present outfit comprises Chandani on lead vocals, Chaminda on keyboards, veteran bassist Thilak Dias, Janaka Kumarasinghe on lead guitar, Tony Mallawarachchi on keyboards and guitar, Riza Faiz on drums and young Jacky Jacqueline Hettiarachchi on vocals. She brings her internationally acknowledged singing prowess from Europe to join her original band.
‘This new move is mainly for our fans, which remain with us and promote us to new levels as a result of our passion to keep them fulfilled with our music. We always believe and work in expanding our wide repertoire and adjust according to the mood of the event which is one of the main factors why we are appreciated by our long standing fans’ said chandani.
