Manoj who plays rhythm guitar and handles vocals was also with Zodiac. Varuna is on keyboards and vocals (Zodiac), Nadeesha is the energetic drummer, who was with the award winning band ‘Simple’. Chullaka a versatile percussionist also from the band Zodiac fills all the beats with more ‘Spark’. After playing with several bands, Suranga the very sharp lead guitarist settles with ‘Spark’.

The band caters to a wide repertoire of music ranging from Country, oldies, dance, 60’s 70’s, rock n roll, rock and also the popular Sri Lankan hits. And the band also plays a session of Bhangra and Hindi hits. Also they have experience and the ability to back any local artiste.

“We have been rehearsing for some time and now ready to rock the scene ” says confident leader Sanjeewa. “Having double keyboards and percussions fills our tracks with more energy; we have already signed for two overseas parties” he added.
