The fund raised from “ENCORE” rock concert was donated to a children home as humanitarian service, Len Gangte maintained.

He informed that the band will perform its original tracks in “Phynyx in Classic Nostalgia” concert which will also feature budding rock artists namely Jenny Thomte, Alamle Heraang and Linita Thounaojam. He also informed that Youth Street Foundation is the event management of the concert and the original tracks of the band will be added in the record label of Half Step Rock, a Bengaluru based startup and a holistic western music learning and production institute.
