A couple of Saturdays ago it was all about rock ’n’ roll and the smell of barbecue filling the early winter air at The Bengal Club. The concert, in association with The Telegraph and Sonarpur Tea, was all about groovy music and scrumptious meals. The Jiverz, a retro rock band from the city, set the mood with their tunes and a rush of covers that ended with our favourite — Dire Straits’ Sultans of Swing. The founder, Sayan Mukerji on bass, and members Sucheta Sanyal on vocals, Kushal Kundu (aka Tony) on guitar, Tilak Kundu on drums, Renfred Anderson on the keyboard, Kaushik Sen on congas, and Ricardo Gomes on guitars delivered a performance that moved the audience. Snapshots.

I think the Jiverz rocked the evening and everyone’s mood was upbeat on the winter evening —Nandini Ray, chairperson of entertainment subcommittee, The Bengal Club
The Bengal Club was vibing to retro rock at the Jiverz concert on the club lawns. The band rocked the evening with their retro numbers and there was music for everyone. A special thanks to our members who attended the evening and made it a success — Dinyar Mucadum, CEO, The Bengal Club
Being an audiophile, I relished the Jiverz, as it’s one of the few bands that puts stress on production quality rather than showcasing individual talent. Undoubtedly one of the best-rehearsed cover bands to be heard in recent times — Kunal Kundu, music director
The appeal of the Jiverz was the four vocalists, performing different genres of music that appealed to many generations of listeners. The mood on the lawn coupled with delicious barbecue dinner made for a perfect early-winter evening. This season, The Bengal Club will be hosting quite a few such unique evenings — Janet Gasper Chowdhury, member of entertainment subcommittee, The Bengal Club
I enjoyed the Jiverz night. The songs put me in a nostalgic mood — Roopendra Narayan Roy, former president of the club and CEO of Sumantrana
The Jiverz are individually talented and sound like a tight band. It was a pleasure listening to them — Sumit Roy, musician
