“Alien Chutney is India’s first comedy-rock band,” says Das.u00a0The crew members promise jokes, humour, stupid lyrics — an out-and-out lethal combination promising to take the audience to a new high.
“The music gets funny with the band’s original compositions on a range of subjects such as the difference between Delhi and Mumbai girls, a blues song about village men, a punk song about funkalicious pakodas, Parsi love songs, tributes to Himesh, death metal songs, pop songs and the tadka song when a boy falls in love with his bhajiwali. The line-up of acts won’t let you slack through the performance for even a second,” says Das.
Kavi Shastri, the co-founder of Weirdass Comedy, says, “The group revises its acts each time keeping contemporary issues in mind . We get repeat audiences who want to check out and enjoy the new additions .”
“If the songs don’t crack you up, the band’s constant interaction with the crowd definitely will. As an act, Alien Chutney is edgy, catchy, raunchy and above all, pure entertainment,” promises Das.
