Skinny Alley is a band comprising some of India's most experienced and versatile musicians, each of whom brings a wealth of experience that contributes richly to the sound of the band.
Each member has performed in several bands all over the country and outside, playing music that spans many decades and even more styles, ranging from rock and roll to reggae, from funk to fusion, and from jazz-inflected pop to the blues. The band has played to diverse crowds, from college campuses to plush clubs and from coffee-houses to football stadiums, to a gangster-family wedding on a shady rooftop.
The original music of Skinny Alley reflects all of this; incorporating the maturity, the skills, the influences and the experience of the five musicians. This is a new sound and we believe that it is here to stay.
Songs From The Moony Boom, 2007
Skinny Alley recorded this CD in the “Moony Boom”, a 12’x12’ rehearsal space in Gyan and Jay’s home, on a soon-to-be defunct 8 track machine; live, loud and totally lo-fi. Needless to say, the neighbours were not too pleased. The CD was mastered by Eddie Miller (Prince, Action Figure Party, Metric, Kylie Minogue etc.) in Los Angeles. In keeping with the ethos of the rest of the album, of course, he didn’t get paid.
The songs on the CD somehow fit the manner of recording. They are real and raw and many emerged out of jams. One tune, Shape Your Life, was created as the band played to get recording levels and we decided to keep that very cut without any kind of editing. Only the vocal was added later.
The CD is being released by Counter Culture Records which the band feels great about, as the CD has a pretty “counter culture” feel to it.
Skinny Alley's debut album is an Indian album with an international sound. It was the first completely english language album by an Indian band to have been released on a major label (EMI). The songs combine the sensitivity of the east with the sensibility of the west. Jayashree Singh, who has written the lyrics, likes to call the songs "short stories set to music". The decidedly meticulous production and luminously textured vocal-driven songs reflect the many textures and tastes of the way our life is. Sweet, sharp, sad.
