Grasshopper Green is a jam band whose music straddles folk, rock and funk, with a mix of Tamil and English lyrics. Constant insistence on high-energy, groove-based improvisation (jamming) keeps the music unpredictable and edgy. In the late 1990s, Grasshopper Green was the only band in Chennai and among the very few in India to play only original compositions; most of the compositions grew out of impulsive spontaneity. The band was known for weaving songs into long sets of improvised grooves.
The band regrouped in the last quarter of 2011 with Sunil on bass once again, and has since been working on refining its compositions, and playing concerts. Members: Shudeep – vocals/flute Hari – lead guitar, keyboards Sandeep – drums Sunil – bass guitar
