History
PDV started out as a vision shared by the bassist, Pereira-Man, and vocalist Pradeep. Realizing that they had a common interest in music, they roped in Mithun and Michael on guitars. Later, Niraj joined in as the drummer and PDV was created. They had their first gig opening for the veteran band Naked Earth at Razzberry Rhinoceres (Mumbai). After couple of shows Michael quit due to personal reasons, and has been replaced by Vispy, ex-guitarist of Sceptre.
After several line-up changes, Pin Drop Violence now consists of Pradeep on vocals, Visky "V.A.S.P." on guitars, Mithun "GriDKiD" on guitars, Rohit "P-man" on bass and Viru "Virus" on drums.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“Throughout the history of commercial life nobody has ever quite liked the commission man. His function is too vague, his presence always seems one too many, his profit looks too easy, and even when you admit that he has a necessary function, you feel that this function is, as it were, a personification of something that in an ethical society would not need to exist. If people could deal with one another honestly, they would not need agents.”
—Raymond Chandler (1888–1959)
“For a transitory enchanted moment man must have held his breath in the presence of this continent, compelled into an aesthetic contemplation he neither understood nor desired, face to face for the last time in history with something commensurate to his capacity for wonder.”
—F. Scott Fitzgerald (1896–1940)
“I saw the Arab map.
It resembled a mare shuffling on,
dragging its history like saddlebags,
nearing its tomb and the pitch of hell.”
—Adonis [Ali Ahmed Said] (b. 1930)
