Mumbai, March 18, 2009

MySpace.com - the world’s premiere social portal takes pride in promoting internationally, one of the finest Indian artists this Month. Ashu will be performing at the internationally acclaimed South by South West Music Conference & Festival (SXSW) in the United States of America on March 18, 2009. Accompanying him on tour are guitar maestro Dhruv Ghanekar, John Hollis on drums, Jimmy Thomas on bass, Nandini Srikar & Mehnaz Hoosein on back up vocals. This year, Ashu is the only Indian musician to be performing at the music festival.

Ashu’s alternative rock, style symbolizes a new wave of expression in India. His music is philosophically Indian but musically global. He is a musician who weaves stories of love and loss, hope and fear, which are at once intensely personal and invitingly universal. The music is ambient psychedelic rock with an acoustic as well as an electronic vibe. Accompanying the band are rich visuals that act as triggers helping the audience transcend into various parallel spaces of the mind. His debut album 'Sigh of an Angel' has been released on Blue Frog Records in October 2008. Ashu's on-stage energy during live performances is as adrenalin pumping for the audience as they appear to be for him and his latest show promises to be a romp for the senses journeying through a myriad of styles and genres.

MySpace India gives all its music lovers an exclusive opportunity to follow the band online as they rock the stage at the South by South West Music Conference & Festival (SXSW). MySpacers will get a look into Ashu’s social adventure at SXSW.
