Presenting the event in a fun packaged, high voltage format with on-air

musical genre by inviting the participation of Goan amateur bands and

Title. Held over three days in a series of on-ground competitions at

will be the winner of Mirchi Sound Check Best Band who will be
showcased at the American Centre, Mumbai and Radio Mirchi’s forthcoming
