They had their first rehearsal at Avishek's aunt's flat. Not much time and they realised the need for a keyboardist. It is then when Timir joined the band as the keyboardist but with a condition that he will also sing few songs. Then another member Debprasad Tewari joined the band as the keyboardist. Then they felt the need for another guitarist and they invited Rajat to join the band. Rajat joined the band as the third guitarist. Till then the band had not been named. First the band was named Phoenix by a friend. Later Rajat suggested the name Muzik Street and the later was adapted as the name of the band.
