Emperor Minge are a New Delhi based 6 piece band. They utilize accomplished song writing and a dynamic stage show to create a live experience that is compelling and unlike any other.Fortunately they are not hung up on genres, as of which, few have been able to describe the ‘Minge Sound’ in any particularly lucid terms, least of all themselves.The group was formed by composer/pianist and UK Émigré, Stefan K and drummer Nikhil Vasudevan three summers ago; the line up is complemented by dancer Miss Anjoe Teresa Chadha. If you are lucky you will get to see her corporal moves during songs like 'Dead Bossa Nova' and 'Kissing the Noose (part 2)'.They have built up a huge level of interest since their debut in Delhi in May 2008; keyboard player Stefan picked up a Jack Daniels Rock award this February and the group were recently named as one of 10 most promising Indian bands by Rolling Stone magazine.They are set to make a huge impact on India’s live performance scene by opening up possibilities in presentation style and by paving the way for similarly inclined artists. You will have never seen or heard anything quite like Emperor Minge! *****************************************‘Tremendously fun, and hold your breath, shockingly original’ – First City, Oct 08.........‘While it is hard to pigeon hole them, there is a certain pattern to their music: frenetic playing and a chaotic quality that probably owes much to avant-garde jazz’ – Time Out Delhi, Sept ‘08.......‘..whimsical flights of fancy, dreamy landscapes of contoured tonalities and a blatant disregard for all creative authority but their own. Few musicians have the musical audacity to venture, not just beyond what is being done but even beyond what seems possible. Minge weaves textures that flirt with the fine border between the aural and the visual, creating little masterpieces that defy classification’ – RSJ Oct ‘08.......‘If ever there is a case to be made for there being a method to madness, it can be found in the complex, often beautiful and somewhat off-kilter sound of this cheeky band’ – Rolling Stone Nov ‘08‘The effect is that of a big swollen river flowing with purpose and madness, destructive yet life-giving, frequently changing course, and ever so often overflowing its banks. Minge, without doubt is one of the more exciting bands on the scene’ – Rolling Stone Nov ‘08......
