Shana Halligan//Kiran Shahani

Millions of people have heard the infectious tunes of Bitter:Sweet via their debut album The Mating Game, as one of their many friends on MySpace, or in their favorite movies and TV shows.

Since coming on the scene last year with their debut album, Bitter:Sweet has received a plethora of accolades from the press including The Los Angeles Times who claimed The Mating Game as “perhaps the best album of its kind since Portishead’s ‘Dummy’ was released more than a decade ago” and URB magazine who called the album, “delicious.”

Bitter:Sweet's trademark sound is an intoxicating blend of Shana Halligan's melodically sweet-and-sexy vocals paired with the duos sassy genre-bending production work. In 2000, Kiran emerged on the scene as a founding member of The Supreme Beings of Leisure. Signed to Chris Blackwell’s Palm Pictures, the band sold over a quarter million records worldwide. Shana is, of course, no stranger to the music industry. She has been a respected part of the Los Angeles music scene her whole life and grew-up in a household with father, Dick Halligan (Blood, Sweat & Tears). Together, Kiran and Shana have created Bitter:Sweet, one of the most seductive interpretations of retro swank and hot beats since James Bond was Sean Connery.

Many of the hottest television shows and movies have used Bitter:Sweet’s music, including Samantha Who, Grey’s Anatomy, Nip/Tuck, Entourage, Desperate Housewives, The Devil Wears Prada, Men In Trees, Brothers & Sisters, and many, many more. Victoria's Secret, Korbel Champagne and Bebe also tapped into Bitter:Sweet’s head-turning beats for their national advertising campaigns. It’s no mystery as to why their music is so sought after – one listen and you’re hooked.

Over the past year, the band has received countless notable accolades. They were awarded the Best Rock/Pop Album of 2006 at the Independent Music Awards. They are consistently ranked on top 20 of iTunes Electronic albums chart and in Billboard’s Top 50 Electronic albums chart. Both People and Playboy Magazine urged millions of their readers to download hot tracks off of their album. And, in their hometown, The Los Angeles Times pegged Bitter:Sweet as one of the top 10 Buzz Bands of 2006.

As Bitter:Sweet looks ahead to the future, they are excited about the upcoming release of their follow-up album as well as the UK/European release of The Mating Game.

Hi,

I love your sound. I missed you guys when you came out to Chicago, I think it was last year. Are you coming again?

I wanted to let you know about my songs being for sale at Amazon, iTunes, and other stores. The songs are a mix of Indian and pop styles. I'd love for you to check it out and let me know what you think, thanks!

Take care

Can't wait to see you on July 18th! I met you last year, I worked for BMG Music Publishing.
I will be at the gig with Tim Rahily and will hopefully get to stop by after the show and say hi!
