Jivraj grew up onstage and backstage following his parents’ band while Nischay’s household was sound tracked by his mother’s lucky-dip cassette hoard of pop classics from Frank Sinatra, Marvin Gaye and Stevie Wonder to Geri Halliwell and Latino rock power trio Los Lonely Boys. Sunday mornings for the two were dedicated to Jagjit Singh and the evening for Elvis. Having recently played across seven cities in UK and Ireland in a span of 10 days, the Kolkata based Dream Pop duo is gearing up for their monsoon tour across the nation starting with Bengaluru on the 10 August. Having released their latest video in May 2017, they garnered almost six Lac views with their Wes Anderson influenced video.

Nischay Parekh sings, plays the guitar, keyboards and synths and Jivraj Singh plays the drums, drum machines and effects. While Nischay has one foot in this world and the other in the realm of dreams, Jivraj is a student of math and logic and drawn to life’s darker recesses.
