"One of the most popular Nepali bands of our time, the village pop singers, Nepathya performed live on January 27, 1996.

The much awaited concert drew in a crowd that filled the Royal Nepal Academy. The afternoon concert was attended by people of all ages including girls who danced all through the evening to the rhythm. The band also introduced a new singer Gautam Gurung as they do in each of their endeavors. With their hits, they left the audience pleased and rocking as the concert climbed its peak. The thrills and shouts for once more kept coming from fans. With their most famous song ‘Chekyo Chhekyo’ sung twice, the live concert ended. "

This is what WAVE had written about one of their concerts in February 1996, Issue 8.

Music speaks a universal language uniting individuals with different lives to this, one common love. Such was the magical bond that drew a bunch of college friends, who during the 80’s were playing for different bands to come together later on in their lives, building a bridge towards creating a history…

In May 2004, 1974 A.D. celebrated their 10th year anniversary. To be together for 10 years and actively tour and release albums is not an easy accomplishment for bands or artists anywhere. In the 8 years they have successfully released several albums and toured the United States of America twice and the United Kingdom once and performed to a full house audience at Dashrath Stadium. Like predicted in 1996, they have in fact made history in our pop culture.
