IndiEarth At The Park this weekend presents Madley Blues – a two piece band that came together to explore new dimensions of sound, and found themselves at the cross roads between different traditions, genres and forms of music. The act has also collaborated with the likes of M. S. Viswanathan, Shankar Mahadevan, and Keith Peters and will be performing at the Lobby Stage of The Park Chennai at 9pm.

On the more electronic side of the sound spectrum is SHFT_, a Delhi based DJ/Producer who spins a mean blend of house and techno, influenced by strong grooves and hypnotic elements. He will hit the decks at the Leather Bar at 10:30 pm

Live! At Tango is IndiEarth’s latest gig property – and will debut with the album launches of Peter Cat Recording Company’s Climax, and Sapta’s ICUthis weekend. Peter Cat Recording Company are an alt rock act from Delhi who have set out on an 11 city road trip tour across the country with Chennai next on the map, while Sapta is a live electronic collaborative conceived by producer Marti Bharath and featuring Tapass Naresh on drums and Shravan Shridhar on the violin.
