British India

Overview

Kathy McCabe from The Daily Tele described British India as being ‘hotter than Vindaloo’. Lame punny comments aside, she’s right. The four-piece who formed in Melbourne during their high school days, are constantly on the up and up, playing sets at festivals like Big Day Out, Pyramid and Splendour, having a cameo appearance on Neighbours (yes, really), and releasing three critically acclaimed albums in the past four years.

In 2011 they’re gearing up for their fourth studio release by launching their first single off the new album, ‘March Into The Ocean’ and going on an appropriate three-month long, Australia-wide tour for it.

If, by some miracle, you haven’t heard of British India yet, no need to go back on your DVR’d Neighbours archive to catch a glimpse, because they’re coming to The Zoo, where you’ll be able to see them sans Ramsay Street, plus a couple of comrades in the form of Adelaide’s City Riots and fellow Melbournians Boy In A Box. If we’re going by what Kelly McCabe tells us, they’ll be the Khakra to your Bhakhri.
