This weekend IndiEarth hosts ‘IndiEarth At The Park’ Chennai– an independent gig night that aims to nurture alternative music culture in the country. The upcoming edition features indie pop act The Colour Compound from Mumbai, and electronica act Nuphlo from the UK. A Stage For Alternative Music

With the aim of providing a stage for a vibrant live independent music scene in Chennai, IndiEarth At The Park is IndiEarth’s monthly gig series. It will take place this Saturday featuring The Colour Compound from Mumbai – a four piece act with a sound that’s jarringly simple while simultaneously rich in vocal harmonies, laid beautifully over their melodic guitar lines. The act consists of Rohan Mazumdar and Bradley Tellis on guitar and vocals, Adil Kurwa on bass and Aditya Ashok on drums. Having just released their debut album From Where We Stand this past summer, the act has spent a few years experimenting with different inspirations and have now honed in on a sound that is uniquely theirs.

UK based Indian electronic producer Nuphlo brings his multicultural influencesall together into one electronic space. This eclectic artist started his DJ career playing at a local pirate radio station in Leeds, England, and also co-founded a record label called Hundred Colours Music dedicated to producing and releasing nu skool Eastern electronic music. Bobby Friction of BBC Radio 1 has said “Nuphlo’s palette is as wide as his brain is skewed and after watching his career for the best part of ten years I’m convinced he leans towards the box marked ‘genius’.” An act not to be missed.

IndiEarth will continue to organize these gig nights regularly in the city in order to provide more performance platforms for independent artists while also adding diversity to Chennai’s live music landscape.

Date: Saturday 1^st August
