Sridhar / Thayil
Formed in late 2007 in Bangalore, Sridhar/Thayil is a lyrical pop duo from Bombay-NY-NJ-Hong Kong. Their "cutting edge urban grime" concocts sweet jazz vocals with mean gravely talk over wailing blues guitar and electronic back beats. S/T has been known to combine sounds from opera to Hindustani sargamto electropop; and they play a range of characters as part of theirlive act: a demented preacher, a three year old, a drowning man...
S/T has performed internationally and in India at venues such as the Galle Festival (Sri Lanka), Sula Fest (Nasik), Prithvi festival (Mumbai) etc. LISTEN @ myspace.com/sridharthayil
