Props to Bhangra Empire

[ban3rg]

I just came back from this Bollywood Show at Oracle Arena in Oakland - The Unforgettable Tour they're calling it - it was one of those where moviestars come and jump around on stage - Amitabh Bachchan, Abhishek Bachchan, AISHWARYA, Madhuri Dixit, Preity Zinta, and Riteish Deshmukh performed.

Anyway, Bhangra Empire opened the show! Impressive! Not only did they kill it, but this was in front of an audience of about 14,000 people.

(capacity of arena is 19,596, and they closed off about 1/4 of the place to make it a backstage area...so there's some math for ya).

I thought, since the show was starting late, that you guys would get booed offstage cuz everyone was impatient and all that, but nothing was further from the truth - cheers!

So, PROPS and if anyone from Empire can enlighten us as to how they got this opportunity I'd love to know.

 

[Arjun Barua]

[Chidiya]

[Somi]

Not only that, big ups to mr bruahh for finally changing his name.

 

[Avneet]

Empireeee... Woo hoo!

One of our team mate's father helps sponsor shows in the Bay Area from time to time. Although he didn't take part in promoting or sponsoring this concert, Singh Entertainment asked around for suggestions on an opening act. We were told about the opportunity so we submitted a performance video for review and the rest is history!

It was definitely an amazing experience and great fun. We are honored to have taken part in the show. And for some of us it was our first time attending a Bollywood concert ever- WOW! The show was FABULOUS!

Mad respect, BE.

I wonder if the team got to meet the stars with that performance too? That would totally top any performance - Getting a picture of doing a bhangra pose with Mr. B!

Screw Mr. B, probably the worst business man in the world... It's all about Aishwarya! I kinda think she's sleeping around with Big B though, I mean we all know the married the the bachan name and not really Abhishek... And most pictures of her are with the bigger B... Abhishek is just their bitch... hahahaaa...

Yeah, it's no secret that Mr. B has money problems. My grand-uncle is a good friend of Mr. B and has been asked by Amitabh on more than more occasion for financial help.

But dude, Vick, did we really need that?

hahaha just kidding - keep on doing what you do best! ;D

 

[abhigames]

cooolllll, nice work guys. you should come here and dance at the Empire State...that would be Empirically Emperial.

 

[ranjit singh]

that's tight

does anyone have a video of the performance?

would love to hear the crowd's reaction
