WHAT GENRE IS THE BOMBAY ROYALE PLUS
This evolution is brilliantly captured on The Bombay Royale's debut LP You Me Bullets Love, featuring eight original songs, plus two fascinating re-workings of old Bollywood classics. The Bombay Royale are dedicated to bringing music and mayhem of vintage Indian cinema back to the future, where it belongs. Originally conceived as a vehicle to bring the marvellous but hitherto obscure songs from Bollywood's golden era of the 1960s and '70s, The Bombay Royale morphed into something new when they started writing original music, and things took a new, magical turn. This meeting of musical minds is a perfect match for the anarchy of Bollywood's long-lost production numbers, which slam together everything from classical Indian music and dance to spaghetti western cinemascapes, surfadelica, bossa nova, every dance craze that once swept America, and knowingly kitsch, lounge retro-cabaret theatrics. You gotta go for it! Joyous.The Bombay Royale's debut album You Me Bullets Love (out April 6 on HopeStreet Recordings / Fuse Music) is a revelation of a rare new sound that instantly bewitches your senses: exotic, teasing, cinematic and utterly exhilarating.īorn out of the cultural melting pot of Melbourne's music community, The Bombay Royale has brought together a dozen supremely talented individuals. The Bombay Royales debut album You Me Bullets Love features eight originals and two fascinating re-workings of long-forgotten Bollywood production numbers.

This album is a riot of sounds and textures but absolutely great fun to have on at full blast and with no inhibitions. There are even some surf things going on in “Mahindra Death Ride”.īrought together by musical director Andy Williamson, the stars of the show are the vocalists Parvyn ‘La Femme Mysterieuse’ Singh and Shouroy ‘The Tiger’ Bhattacharya, who complement each other beautifully in the call and response romper “Oh Sajna” and the espionage invoking “Bobbywood” where “The Tiger” sounds terribly untrustworthy! It’s hard not to argue with the press release that accompanies the album with its claims of haunting Hindi and Bengali vocals stretched out over wah wah funk bass lines, huge horns, tablas, synths, sitars and strings and sense of ’60s psychedelic naughtiness. The Australian collective, The Bombay Royale, pay homage to this heritage, particularly the pre-Bollywood age, on this intensively funky LP. From the early days of Indian cinema all the way through to the big budget Bollywood films, music has been integral and created stars such as the incomparable Asha Bosle, who has written over 10,000 songs for over 800 movies.

Entwined, more enmeshed, with Indian film are the soundtracks and movie scores that accompany them. Mumbai and the Bollywood studios churn out more movies, with bigger budgets, to bigger audiences than Hollywood, and Indians grab any space they can to show the films.

India has a love affair with the silver screen unlike any other country.
