Bio
She sings jazz, western classical and Indian classical. He does spoken word, plays blues and funk guitar. When they play together, expect operatic scat and pirate growl over home-made broken beats. They're called Sridhar/Thayil, and they make for one dirty sexy act. Rolling Stone Magazine India calls them "two of the most uninhibited people that ever came together to play with music." The duo has taken their signature lyrical-melodramatic-punkery to stages such as the Great Escape (Brighton), the Southbank Centre (London), Galle Literary Festival (Sri Lanka), and the Prithvi Theatre Festival (Mumbai). S/T 's live gigs are known for their improvisational chaos and random guest collaborations such as Noush Like Sploosh (theremin), Dr Das of the ADF (bass), Kishore Sodha from RD Burman's original horn section (trumpet) and Stefan Kaye of Emperor Minge (keys) amongst others.
