Welcome to The Free Radicals, India’s first (and possibly only) Steely Dan tribute band. They bravely shoulder the burden of introducing the Dan’s arcane genius to an unsuspecting Indian audience. Because, honestly, who wouldn’t want to hear ‘Josie’ on a Sunday night over a tall Pina Colada.
So come see them bring the goods: crisp horns, witty lyrics, 70s cool and enough musical snobbery to make Walter Becker proud.
In increasing order of instability, the Free Radicals are:
Saibal Basu: Guitars
Vatsal Bakhda: Piano, Organ and Backing Vocals
Reuben Narain: Drums
Chochung Dema: Vocals
Jigmee: Bass guitar
Kabini Malik: Vocals
Mayank Lawrence: Vocals
Aaliyah: Saxophone
Jay Chauhan: Guitars
Statutory Warning: the Free Radicals may occasionally exhibit spontaneous outbreaks of instrumental solos with involuntary references to decadent 70s lifestyles replete with psychedelics and other forbidden pleasures.
