In January 2019, MIRAGE is all set to introduce a brand new sound with the release its single Befiker from their second album, ‘Doosri Dastak’. The video has been shot at the Lyari Town in Karachi.
MIRAGE had earlier released ‘Barhe Chalo’ and ‘Panchi’ featuring Coke Studio sensation Alycia Dias in 2017, ‘Pyar Hua’ in December 2016, Ker Daalo Pakistan in 2014 and Zara Suniye Tou in 2013 from their second album ‘Doosri Dastak’.
MIRAGE, formed by Saad Hayat on Keyboards & Production, Hasan Mahmud on guitars and Rehan Nazim on vocals in 2003, has been active in the local music scene and has maintained a reputation for its solid, fun & energetic live act. The band’s current live line-up also features Abid Wilson on guitars, Shane Kerr on bass & Ajay Harri on Drums.
Indeed, with 8 music videos (Aarzoo, Jeewan, Kyun Mujhse, Zara Suniye Tou, Ker Daalo Pakistan, Pyar Hua and Panchi) and an album (Aarzoo) release to date, MIRAGE is one the few bands that has been intact and has also managed to survive the long lasting music industry downfall.
