Gandu Circus
The movie ‘Gandu’ was made by Bengali director Q in 2010. The music of the film was produced by Neel Adhikari’s band ‘Five Little Indians’. The film has garnered much praise at several European and American festivals. Since there was a growing demand to hear the music from the film a fresh outfit was formed featuring Q (vocals) and Neel (guitars). Jiver Singh joined Gandu Circus in February 2012 to create additional electronic grooves, all played live, using a variety of software and hardware.
All Gandu Circus tracks have accompanying visuals produced by Q that are projected at performances.
