EASTERN MIRROR: Journey of “DREAM CATCHER” and its formation.
Dream Catcher: Dream Catcher is a project band from Wokha town, formed in the month of February, 2016 by three young artists. The member consists of Moyuchen Yanthan (Guitarist), Sochanthung Kikon (Vocalist), and Jimmy Lotha (Bassist). We grew up together and are well known to each other ever since childhood. Our passion for music started from our younger days. Not sure about the date, but on one fine day three of us were sitting and sharing our individual views about music, suddenly out of the blue we picked our instruments and started jamming on random keys and to our surprise one particular key sequence caught our attention and “Radio Active” was born along with it Dream Catcher as well.
