Yes, the ADs are coming back to the US. This time they are coming here at their own expense. I have been communicating with one of the band members and this is what he had to say:

a. US tour on our own expenses from August 26th onwards.

b. The planned cities are, LA > Sanfransisco > Seattle > Nebraska > Minnesota > Indiana > Boston > New York > Washington DC respectively.

Please help spread the word and help the band. They need our support.Visit their site at www.1974ad.com.np.

Birader Jhapali! Why them comin again?
jhapali Posted on 01-Aug-03 02:44 PM

nice to see brother rastafariya backn on sajha again. they are coming here to perform for us man. why else? they are also popular among the non-nepalis as well. and i also heard that their instrumental cd will be produced by a US recodring company. How many artists from nepal come to US at their own expense to perform? I have not heard of any. so let us help the band and lend our support. let Nepal be known for other things besides mt. everest and the only hindu kingdom.

makuro Posted on 01-Aug-03 02:57 PM

Exactly why are they coming again! For example I love Deep Shrestha. I loved the first time he came to perform. Withni a year since he performed first, there were about 2/3 his concerts. I felt he should not have allowed to be cheapen that way. I felt same about 1974 AD.
Rekha Posted on 01-Aug-03 03:20 PM



1974 Ad released their new begining of this year so they have lots of new song. Of course they are going to play some of their old hits but the concer is not going to be the same. It'll be different this time.
Rastafariya Posted on 01-Aug-03 03:57 PM

Birader Jhapali, Makuro and them Sister Rekha.I is agree with you all peopal.

Jhapali birader, I is not know that them coming to record here in them America it is them proud moment for I and I. Maybe I and I is gets to see them biraders this time. Maybe them 74 AD biraders will let Rasta sing too. But I is not going to sing. I is not wants them biraders getting them Shoes and Sandals along with I.

Birader Makuro I is like your point too. If them peopal come again we is needs to look at how them going to do it good. Last time them came to then Convension and them peopal was in them Party mood lots of peopal make time to go to convension and them see them there. Them that time everyone goes to see them AD biraders including them peopal who dont lisen to music.But them this time them lots of peopal already take time off for them Other artist that come. Another thing I is hear is that them peopal this time was singing on CD. I is can also sing on CD same same like him Narayaan Gopal. Them singing on CD no fun.

Sister Rekha I is wants to see them all new and old numbars too. Because I is love muzik.
Rekha Posted on 01-Aug-03 05:33 PM



Rasta bro I totally agree with you. I want to hear both new and old songs. Their songs are not typical nepali song, it's different then others. Parkhi Bachu is my favorite. They are not just good singer but great people as well. Love all of them and their Music. . . . . . . . . . .
khimu Posted on 01-Aug-03 05:51 PM

Rastafariya Posted on 03-Aug-03 09:26 PM

Birader help desk! who them you wants to contact? Cadenza, Rusty Nails or them 74 AD?
gunda Posted on 03-Aug-03 10:48 PM

they maybe nice people but their songs and music itself is so alien to Nepal and Nepalese culture. I don't see how they have made any contributions to Nepal's music....
Rastafariya Posted on 03-Aug-03 10:57 PM

Birader Gunda! I is not unnerstanding you. Probably you is them Gunda in Daura Suruwaal and topi in Nepal and not alien like them peopal wearing them Jeans and them Nike shoes and Michael Jordan t shirts like them alien peopal I is see walkin around Kathmandu in majority of numbers. Yes I is see lots of alien peopal actually all over them Nepal TV is taken over by alien peopal. Oh I is see all them alien teachers in Schools too in Pants and shirts and tie. I is think them these musicians is alien peopal like rest of them non daura suruwal wearing peopal. We is needs to be careful. These peopal is not Nepali musicians. These peopal is alien musicians!
gunda Posted on 03-Aug-03 11:58 PM

Rasta... its obvous that we listen to music for different reasons. Let's look at the Nepal through wider lense and see where they fit. you have to understand that Nepal is not kathmandu and kathamndu is not Nepal although some would say it is. Let me ask you what does the group name 1974 mean to you?? What does this mean to an average Nepali in Nepal?? The name itself has ambiguities and not to mentions their tunes lyrics. Their tunes neither Nepalese nor western. Nepali gaine, a street singer would have better meaning and melodies than most of their songs. Just because they are Nepalese does not mean they have to conform to old traditions but at least I expected them to show some Nepaleseness. I have nothing against them, but they have not presented themselves to preserve and expand Nepalese music and song across the globe. I supported Deep Shrestha twice in my town, even though guy hasn't had hit since 1974, that's probably where they got the name.. maybe you can tell me without before lighting that pot...
Revival Posted on 04-Aug-03 06:18 AM

I see Nebraska in thier list of cities to tour, I wonder who is organizing the event in Nebraska.
Rastafariya Posted on 04-Aug-03 06:52 AM

Birader Gunda! Looks like you is have too much of them intelligence and educasion . Now you is say them Kathmandu is not Nepal. I is totally agree with you that them 1974 AD music and them name is have no ambiguity. I guess that is why all them Nepali filims since it started have only gaine music Sorati and Maruni Dances. Now I is see what you is saying. Yes them all their lyrics not have no nepaleseness. Them lyrics in Nepali but them lyrics talk about Movies,Coke, Pizza, Mcdonald and limousine. I is totally agree with you. Oh! Yes them, Chyangba and da Bloody Revolution is about them Nintendo and Playstasion.

Wow! you is did tremendious support actually contribusion by supporting an aging singer who is not have no hits since 1974AD.

Birader! open your eyes and listen carefully. When him Deep Shrestha start singing his style and singing at them time was criticized by few peopal like you. Him was not accepted in the general music scene of that time.

You is them great music peopal birader Gunda and of course Very Nepali Gunda always wearing Daura Suruwal and eating only Dhedo and Gundruk all da time preserving Nepaliness Only lisening to Gainey Music.
help_desk4 Posted on 04-Aug-03 08:31 AM

Rastafariya,

Rastafariya Posted on 04-Aug-03 09:53 AM

Birader help desk. How come you is lookin for help.I is not personally have no informasion but I is sure can get them through sources I know. You wants them phone numbers or them email address? Just let I know
gunda Posted on 04-Aug-03 12:03 PM

Looks like Rasta have lots of time to answer on all the postings. THat's good but it would be better if he spends some time to improve his English and writing skills.. No offense, my friend... it would help a lot... Its never too late for some educations....

ALthough there are other groups who are far more superior they are atleast organised and have clear goal in mind...

Rastafariya Posted on 04-Aug-03 01:17 PM

Birader Gunda! I is not need them your English. I is fine. Why them you learn all them English since you is Englishman Gunda. Why it is be better if I is have gooder English? I is see lots of them Korean , Japanese or them Indian Biraders doing just fine with no good english like you is have/ Maybe them you is lots better than those peopal. I is honestly not know. That is good them you is have good English.

But sorry Birader Gunda I is never change and I is just fine!
gunda Posted on 04-Aug-03 10:10 PM

No problem, Rasta.. I, too I am learning english and I have yet to learn Newari bhasha so that I could talk to beautiful Newari maya of kathmandu....
hangu lama Posted on 04-Aug-03 10:22 PM

gunda bro! you're better off talking to them in nepali. Newars don't like show off's.
Rastafariya Posted on 04-Aug-03 10:23 PM

Birader Gunda! You is never need no languaje to speak them communicasion of love. I is never learn no languaje but I is still love peopal and is fine. You is just needs to change yo head on your soulder.
gunda Posted on 05-Aug-03 01:07 AM

excellent point Rasta, love is universal language, I don't need a language to love but you know some are better at it than rest. As having rejected by many mayalu I thought learning newari might give me an edge over my competators , you know what I mean, If I learn learn the language maybe I wil have better luck...
gunda Posted on 05-Aug-03 01:08 AM

LamaJee is talking from experience??
Rastafariya Posted on 05-Aug-03 04:04 PM

Birader Gunda! you is not needs no Language. Only thing you is needs is them change your profession. You is can become some good peopal and you is ha no problem
