SuperSwamis

Despite being a relatively new band The Superswamis have already attracted the attention of industry experts through the media and where predicted by the Independent newspaper as "one of the top 25 acts to look out for in 2008".



The Guardian newspaper described The Superswamis music as "unclassifiable, a sound which is …not constrained by the weight of what they hear around them."



And at the beginning of 2008 The Superswamis where selected as band of the month by the MCPS-PRS Alliance.



The Superswamis legendary show is going out live in 2008 and they are to debut on the BBC Introducing stage at Glastonbury 2008.



At present Superswamis are stirring up considerable interest in the Asian music scene. Championed by Huw Stephens, Colin Murray, Bobby Friction and Nihal on Radio1 and the BBC Asian network and Featured as Bobby Frictions “Future Friction” artist of the week during July2007. Indeed even before a recorded release Superswamis have already been bootlegged!



The Superswamis sound is a bold and eclectic east-west collision, a precocious sound with cinematic orchestral disco and dark prophetic dirges. Superswamis are a new statement in what is possible when Integrating Indian influences into a modern western style. Brandishing Asian and western classical like never before into an incredibly cohesive and listenable sound. Hailed as the Asian ‘Pink Floyd’, Superswamis music appears as if by magic out of the ether of our manic craftsmanship.



The SuperSwami Sound is influenced by the everyday mechanics if life. It is a sound that encompasses many genres of music with a deep setting in cinematic sound-scape, electronica and Bollywood b movies. It’s hardly surprising that The Superswamis are able to achieve this.



The development of their music has come along way since their meeting in 2006. The first studio sessions were about working through their collective influences, throwing them all at the mixing board and seeing how they fell, searching for that unique “sound.” which they have so diligently pursued and turned into a style like no other.



They wanted their music to be sample based, whilst maintaining an all important live, human element; "merging Indian and western classical inside a wide-screen sound” An incredible fusion of ingenious digital surgery and blinding live instrumentation creates the Superswami sound. They are both a studio band and a real live outfit.



"Valentine Curve” was first step in that amalgamation of sounds. They describe the track as a fusion of Asian cinema with electro disco! “A Story” followed similarly with a blend of Rajasthani folk music and blunted beats. Then came the Pink Floyd'esque epic "Blow." "Stupid Star" is a subversive jibe at the public obsession with celebrity and then the prodigious "John Brown track." And finally the soon to be released "Black Sheep"
