“Earlier we would amuse ourselves by saying ‘it would be good to perform on a grand stage someday.’ Cut to six years later, we are here,” Naroth recalls. The eight-member collective —  Malay Vadalkar, Nitin Muralikrishna, Abraham Zachariah, Pratika Gopinath, Sharad Rao, Shardul Bapat, Siya Ragade and Sanyanth Naroth — was formed in 2015 as a collaboration between friends.  For their early albums, they insisted on being addressed only by the band name. “We wanted our music to be our identity rather than the people behind it. That is the core of our band even now,” Naroth explains.

The Mumbai gig will see the band check a list of their popular compositions from Make it my move, Eye for little things, Enjoy it while it lasts as well as the latest, Enemy, and some covers. Their style ranges from Indi-pop and Indie-folk to motown and funk. “The spirit of Easy Wanderlings will always be to capture simple observations, conversations and memories around us,” Naroth says.

The band also has an EP release lined up. “We plan to release an EP called Caught in a parade in a few months. We are putting the final touches on it,” Naroth reveals. With 11 people taking to the stage this weekend, Naroth promises the concert will be chaotic but fun.
