Raia and a Buffalo
Born in Biswa's office loft at the HIVE, Raia and a buffalo began jamming and didn't stop until "Chai" dropped in May 2016. What began as an acoustic jam developed into an adventure in songwriting and Raspberry pi-based production. At their shows, you can expect mad secular shit with a side of feminism.

Sri
Sri is an indie singer-songwriter (aka Srijit Bhowmick) from Bombay. He writes songs about heartbreaks, poetic misadventures of the downtrodden, or the ordinary boorishness and humdrum existence of everyday life, and yet, not just. As such, his songs are carefully crafted intertwining of expressions and melodies into nothing but stories of our lives - some that could be, some that are and some that may never be.
