Sometime in mid-march we got an email from Shiv (Bamboo Shoots) who was visiting India for two reasons:

1) To get married

2) Touring India with his band.

We figured we could help him with point no 2. By the time Bamboo Shoots were in India, we had a couple of shows lined up for them and once they were done with the wedding celebrations, instead of a honeymoon, Shiv along with Avir, Karl, Ahmed and Ankur set off on a 5 city tour across India.

Bamboo Shoots played Zenzi (Mumbai) , One Lounge (Pune) , Turquoise Cottage (Delhi), Blue Frog (Mumbai), Someplace Else (Kolkata), Kyra (Bangalore) and The Living Room (Delhi). You can read about their tour experiences on their well-updated blog here. CNN-IBN did a story on them, watch it here.

Their shows have got some great reviews and we can assure you they will be back soon to promote their new album with Epic Records.

We had a great time working with them and they are the best example of how international indie acts should strategise and work the Indian market. We hope to see a lot of indie acts tour India soon.
