It disbanded in 1997, only to regroup in 2010 with some new members.

History

Indus Creed was originally called Rock Machine, which was created in 1984 and featured Mahesh Tinaikar, Mark Selwyn, Ian Santamaria (vocals), Aftab Currim (rhythm guitar) and Suresh Bhadricha (drums). After playing just a few concerts in 1984, the line-up went though some changes. Jayesh Gandhi replaced Currim, Mark Menezes took Bhadricha's chair and Uday Benegal took over from Santamaria as lead vocalist. A few months later, Zubin Balaporia joined the band, adding keyboards to the line-up. Tinaikar, Selwyn, Gandhi, Benegal and Balaporia were to remain the core members of the band for a major portion of its existence.
