Do the Needful, Karmick, Surfing Bird

Do the Needful is a punk Bollywood ensemble that filters retro Indian pop music through the prism of ghostly burlesque, post-punk, and blues into something entirely unique. Featuring Hindi vocalists, Bansuri, guitar/fuzz organ, bass, and drums, DTN’s hypnotic beats fill the dance floor while shards of folk melodies and moody improvisation transport listeners to a different space. We evoke Bollywood's rich past and present a powerful modern masala that is a distinct product of Chicago's musical melting pot.

Karmick is the Sikhest rock band you know. Harboring the sound of two brothers chopping up their background in Indian Classical music with loud drums and ethereal guitars - this duo knows how to rock out and when to pull back for a more intimate and personal experience. Karmick's wide array of influences across genres colors their unique sound. Based out of their home town in Chicago, Karmick stands for the values of unashamedly living your truth and finding your authentic expression.
