Playing guitars since he was 9, the harp came only at around 15. Specialises in the Blues, Snores (no connection!) and some soulful slide work using a 9 volt discard - alkaline or dry, steel/brass/tin locks, broken glasses/bottles and a lot many more things BUT his prized $20 SLIDE which is, well, somewhere... He's played in many bands earlier, in hometown Kalimpong and in next-door Darjeeling, but he saw his first EFFECTS pedal (read distortion unit) in Delhi at around age 21 something. And then the last one by age 22. Currently uses a Epiphone Les Paul Standard guitar, sleeps over a Fender Mustang, a what-else-but-a-Jim-Dunlop-wah pedal and a Korg A4 effects processor onstage and a Zoom 5050 in the booth.
