Big Bang Blues, a Delhi based band opens up and share their inspiration and interest.

Who are you?
We are Big Bang Blues, a Delhi-based band. Our music is not pure blues, it’s blues- inspired. So, you’d find a blend of various genres in our music, little blues, little jazz, little rock-n-roll. We play music that’ll make you feel happy and relaxed.

How long have you been around?
Big bang Blues has been into existence since 2009, but the current line-up is there since 2010.

Why this name?
Blues music has been the mother of contemporary genres so the name seemed a logical choice, just like the Big Bang theory and the beginning of the universe (not the TV serial). That aside, we present the blues with immense power and energy, thus “big bang.”

What makes you click?
Rhythm

Your favourite blues band?
Can’t name one. There are too many really good blues musicians and bands that have influenced us.

Do you support a cause?
Yes, Music! The biggest cause is to ensure that artforms and genuine heartfelt music isn’t lost in the rat race for success and money.

When there is no music!

Anywhere. All you need is inspiration and that can come from anything, be it an autorickshaw, a tree or your ex-boyfriend/girlfriend.
