FROM BALLS OUT ROCK'N'ROLL TO TRIPPED OUT EASTERN, EXPERIMENTAL PYSCH
'Glorious melodies and harmonies from psychedelic headliners, quite possibly demo of the year.' HALFMOON, LONDON
'They sound like acoustic libertines adrift on the backwaters of Kerala, nice...... four minutes of one of the most herbal tracks ever, very mellow indeed.
BOBBY FRICTION - BBC Asian Network
SATSANGI
Blending rock 'n' roll, new wave and punk riffs to Eastern rhythms - from balls out rock 'n' roll to tripped out Eastern experimental psych.
‘Hailing from Trivandrum, Kerala in India and Leamington Spa U.K., Satsangi is a solid representative for global music.’ - www.mtviggy.com
ROLLING STONE review
‘Menon offers a compelling mash of vocal styles – rewind to Dolores O’Riordan, Grace Slick, Sinead O Connor and fast forward to the likes of Bjork and Karen O and add to that the bizarre temperament of the likes of Tori Amos and Regina Spektor.’ -
Neha Sharma, Rolling Stone - India
NO SHOES IN SATSANG HALL The new album by Satsangi (ridetothebeach productions)
It’s title ‘No Shoes in Satsang Hall’ - is taken from a sign spotted in Kerala earlier this year. There are 11 tracks, and the album is also available on dvd. See the latest video from the album 'The First Time' on MTViggy.
"It all started when downstairs mother was singing classical Indian ragas, upstairs I was listening to Led Zeppelin wondering what it would sound like if Kishori Amonkar sang with the B-52's." - Sujatha Menon
Satsangi have supported Fields and The Kills and gigged throughout the UK, they are Carling Support finalists, and ‘Introducing Artists’ on the Bobby Friction Show (BBC Asian Network).
Satsangi videos are broadcast globally on MTV networks, SkyTV, on BBC Big Screens throughout the UK and at various European film festivals
‘Satsangi are spunky new wave’ - MOJO
'She's incredible.....She's a superstar.....I want to work with her' - Tricky
'Hi Su, listened to 'Iodine' again And I must say it's really wicked……Your track reminds me a bit of sonic youth but with infinitely better singing with tough sax break that made me think of X-Ray Spex. The whole thing sounds nervy, dislocated and very tense-just the way I like it.' - Steve C-Sonic ASIAN DUB FOUNDATION
'I feel like I coud play that for the next hour or so, but then I'd lose my job, she sounds brilliant her name is Sujatha Menon, she's the lead singer of Satsangi' -
Bobby Friction – BBC Asian Network
‘Iodine is an awesome song.’ - Talvin Singh
‘…a wicked bass line, timely sax breaks, and pace-setting rhythm guitar sections. Richard Heath also needs special mention for his swivelling spin of a solo on sax. This is a find.’
Neha Sharma, Rolling Stone - India

~Born to be wild and free~
I..m not the man you have to follow
I..m not the shoulder you can lean on
Uuuh baby, I..m not the shoulder you can lean on
Kiss me touch me but don..t look up to me
Be wild and free
Don..t miss the opportunity
Be free have fun
before your life is gone
Show me your love

Kiss me
