Shilpa Ray — she’s an Indian girl with soul-sister pipes, and she fronts basically a punk band in which she sings and plays some kind of janky old harmonium. It’s a killer mixture.
This video I took is not meant to be a primo concert film, but the sound is pretty good, and maybe it’ll give you a feel for what it’s like seeing Shilpa and Her Happy Hookers play at this club called Barbarella on a Friday afternoon at SXSW:
And lucky for us, she’s playing next Thursday at Bottom of the Hill!
