View(s):

It was a night for music lovers of the 90s as Arrested Development took to the stage at the CR and FC ground to entertain the crowd with their timeless sounds. The light drizzle didn’t seem to dampen the mood of the crowd and the show got underway past 8pm and continued till past midnight. It was a roadtrip down memory lane with songs such as “Mr Wendal”, “Everyday People,” and “Ease My Mind” being some of the tracks the group performed. Formed in 1988 by rap vocalist Todd Thomas it wasn’t until the 90s that the band’s career began to peak . Their unique hip-hop sounds became a  brand of music which helped them standout  from the popular gangsta rap sounds of the era. They were the first hip-hop artists to receive the Best New Artist award at the 1993 Grammys. They also won Best Rap performance and were named Band of the Year by the Rolling Stone magazine. Arrested Development was brought down by the radio channel Red 107.8.
