Cobweb is a hard rock band from Patan, Nepal. Formed in 1993 by a group of school friends, they released their first album, âAnjaanâ, which didnât achieve much success. However, their second album, simply titled âCobwebâ, gained popularity with songs like âMaryo ni Maryoâ, shaping the Nepalese rock scene. The band is considered a trendsetter in modern Nepali music. Despite initial societal resistance due to unconventional attire (long hair and male earrings), their subsequent albums found favor among youths. Their music video for âMaryo ni Maryoâ became a hit and was aired on Image Channel via Nepal Television. Cobwebâs imagery draws from Western heavy metal, but their promotion strategy aligns with traditional Nepali music. Here are some of their albums:
- âAnjaanâ (1993)
- âCobwebâ (1996)
- âRolling Stringâ (1998)
- âMercedes Benz Rock n Roll Astitvaâ (2016)
Members of the band include Divesh Mulmi (Guitar/Vox), Nilesh Joshi (Bass), Siddhartha Dhakhwa (Drums), Sujan Tandukar (Guitars), and Ashis Gurung (Vocalist). Former members include Urdeep Joshi, Mahesh Nakarmi, Pawan Shakya, and others. Cobweb has performed in various countries, including Europe, Australia, the USA, and Dubai.
