About BandX - Electronic Info for the Masses

BandX are Ace Macleod and Asif Chowdhury.

In 1999 BandX, formerly known as Shanti, started producing music. They forged on a completely new direction, going from synth-pop to techno electronic music. The band decided to take on this new style after their two original memebers, Chris Milas and Asif Chowdhury, went thier separate ways. Asif remained in Chicago while Chris sought other opportunities back in Ann Arbor, Michigan. It was at that very point when Asif recruited Ace Macleod to assist in re-inventing the band to gain its own unique techno electronic twist. Soon thereafter, all musical compositions and lyrics were written, produced, and performed by Ace Macleod with some backing from Asif Chowdhury. From September of 1999 through December of 2000 BandX went into the studio and put out 11 great pieces. They placed it on many free MP3 sites to see how well they'd be accepted. in Early 2004 Asif Chowdhury Stepped back into the Studio and re-energized a flailing Ace Macleod. The 2003 EP "Marks the Spot" was a mediocre attempt by the band, but plans were already forming for a resurgence album. Thus "11R6" came to fruition. The pieces were set, and "11R6" was released in April of 2005 to an online audience. In 2008 BandX released its newest creation: "Planet". Following a very successful release with "11R6", "Planet" did it again with techno break beats and Trance rhythms to raise the bar for BandX music. It was a completely polished sound. By the end of 2009 Asif Chowdhury had an idea to write an album in tibute to on of our favorite television shows: Doctor Who. We started in April of the following year after making a move down to Dallas, Tx. One by one, the songs started falling into place. By the end of October of 2010 we had a winning album ready for production. It's now uploaded onto our website and ready for your perusal. We think it's fantastic! By the way, if you want to email us, Asif is always on looking for contact.
