Formed in late 2007, "Suman Sridhar and Jeet Thayil combine their
unmistakable talents of word-smithing, song writing and all-round performing
to cook up a jazz-toned, grass-root feel stew pot of sexy groove music."
-Priyanka Joseph, Times of India.
Jeet Thayil is a performance poet, songwriter, and author of four books
including 'These Errors are Correct' (Tranquebar, 2008). He has been
