"It is a dream come true for us to win an international contest. The
organisers had told us that around 5,000 bands had sent in their demos
to participate in the competition," said Praggya Lama, guitarist of
Adam's Apple.
While Praggya is the guitarist, Wangden Lepcha is in the vocals and
Anil Pradhan is on the keyboard. Sawan Chettri as the bass guitarists
and Ushang Bomzom in the drums complete the Adam's Apple line-up.
