LIVE Banned, based out of Bangalore, focuses purely on entertainment. It is a five-piece band consisting of Amrit Rao on vocals, Siddhart Kamath on keys, Sridhar Varadarajan on strings, Dheerendra Doss on drums, and Raveesh Tirkey on bass. The band’s originals and medleys are popular for their humour, that are sometimes intelligent and at other times atrocious. The performances are bold, flamboyant and energetic, influenced by South Indian music, Bollywood, disco, pop, rock and metal. LIVE Banned satirizes, restructures and twists popular music across genres and languages that appeal to everyone – from the man on the street to an audience from the corporate world.
