Biography

Plan B is a LIVE band based out of the capital city of West Bengal, Kolkata. The band is professionally performing from past six years. The genre for the band is jazz, pop, and country rock music. With close to 60 years of consolidated experience of being in the business of music between the band members, yet just a few months young, Sumith Ramachandran's Plan B is a much improved and more importantly, original material-inclined band, boasting of a jazz-pop and country rock repertoire. Plan B performs a host of brand new originals comprising Smoke You Out, Hourglassed, Purple, Unladylike, I Must Fly, as well as older favourites like Matters Not and Fragile Intention. Butterfly, an earlier composition, received a 4-star rating from Rolling Stone (India) magazine. Sumith Ramachandran, Indian Brand Ambassador for the French-Canadian Godin Guitars, has often been labeled a monster guitarist. In the new-look Plan B V2.1, Sumith brings his compositions to the fore. Sumith performed at the Java Jazz Fest 2009 and is a part of one of India's leading classic rock bands – Hip Pocket. Paddy Manot needs little introduction to the Kolkata music circuit. Easily one of the most talented jazz musicians in India, Paddy adds that extra zing and spark to all Plan B compositions. Drummer and newest recruit Satyajit 'Bittu' Mukherjee adds brilliant hues to every song he performs, with excellent musicianship.
