'Five Little Indians' (Kolkata) live at Opus !!

Kingfisher ABANDONFRIDAY with FIVE LITTLE INDIANS (KOLKATA) at Opus, Palace Cross Road, 19th Feb, 9 pm onwards:

Five Little Indians was formed in January 2007 with former members of some well-known Calcutta-based bands. The band merges melodic rock and a heavier sound with singer-songwriter sensibilities. FLI's use of Hindustani Classical vocals as another voice results in a unique sound that can only be defined as its own. 

FLI played its debut show at the Eastwind Festival 2008 and were featured in The Times of India for its original sound and was the band in focus for August 2008 on http://www.indianmusicrevolution.com/

In October 2008, FLI's original Screaming At The Sun saw a worldwide release as part of Stupidditties 2, a compilation of Indian "un-metal" music from ennui.BOMB , supported by Counter Culture Records. In November 2008, FLI's original Happy Birthday was featured in the must-have downloads section in Rolling Stone, India, with a 3-star rating. In the following months, FLI was featured on Washington Bangla Radio, with streaming clips and the Indian Rock MP3 blog.

In January 2009, FLI headlined the Campus Rock Idols 2009 competition along with Skinny Alley. In May this year, FLI, along with The Supersonics and Bertie da Silva & Orphic Hat, co-organised and played Elektrik Kool Rock Revue I, the first show of a original music concert series that aims to re-establish Calcutta as a blooming bed for rock'n'roll creativity.

Preferring exclusive appearances, FLI headlined the Hornbill festival in Kohima, Nagaland in December 2009 and the Autumn Festival in Shillong in November 2009, apart from playing in Tango and Deja Vu (Shillong) and Dream Cafe (Kohima). 
FLI has begun work on their upcoming album with a major label which is slated for release post summer 2010.
