They have played many venues in and around Pittsburgh. The music appeals to a wide array of listeners from fans of jazz, funk, and improv to fans of progressive rock and metal. Although the music has some funk and mellow vibrations, it can also be aggressive and ambient at times. This is shown on their 2006 debut “Slow Brewed”. This album is over an hour of finely crafted music filled with intensity and fun. The songs have a solid structure that flows from one song to the next. Ketan’s bass techniques often fulfill multiple roles, such as the illusion of synthesizers, rhythm guitar, or percussion. Vijay’s guitar sounds vary from mellow chords, to chunky rhythms, to melodies that sound almost as if they’re being sung. The bass and guitar alternate, one leading while the other supports, and at other times they stand together. Dino’s drumming works hand-in-hand with the bass, forming a solid rhythm section which can be heavy, funky, gentle, and tight.
Chaibaba’s music hints at unexplored realms of infinite possibilities and communicates more feeling than most contemporary popular music, even with many of their songs being instrumental. To just call these guys “rock” doesn’t do them justice. Chaibaba takes the listener on a sonic trip and brings them back transformed
