Ex-Ad Guru Subhash Kamath Rocks On With Band

Subhash Kamath, former CEO of BBH India and Publicis Worldwide India, has been pursuing his passion for music as the frontman of the band Wanted Yesterday. After stepping down from his role in September 2022, Kamath has been mentoring and consulting while also performing with his band.

The band is set to perform in Goa on July 25 at the Malhar & The Sea festival, where they will pay tribute to the Beatles. Kamath expressed his excitement and nervousness about the performance, stating that it will be a challenging but fun experience.

Wanted Yesterday will also perform an Eric Clapton night at the BlueBop Café in Khar, Mumbai on July 17. The band consists of Kamath on rhythm guitar and vocals, Hanez Patel on lead guitar and vocals, Jordan Rodrigues on keyboards, Alanis Rodrigues on bass, and Glyston Gracias on drums.

Music has been a part of Kamath's life since childhood, growing up in a music-loving family in Kolkata. He was exposed to various genres, including classical and western pop music. His love for the Beatles began when he was gifted a cassette with their songs, and he later developed a fondness for Bob Dylan and the blues.

Kamath started learning the guitar at St Xavier's College, Kolkata, and began performing with a college band. However, he put his music career on hold when he started working in advertising in Mumbai. It wasn't until 2007 that he started performing again with a band of advertising professionals, which eventually became Wanted Yesterday.

The band's name has two connotations, and they have performed various tribute shows, including ones for Bob Dylan and special blues nights. Their performances often feature a mix of songs, but they have also done tribute shows for specific artists.
