Whirling Kalapas is the acoustic-ish band created by Mahesh Tinaikar and Uday Benegal, the guitar player and singer of the trailblazing rock band Indus Creed.
Jai Row Kavi, Kenneth Rebello and Sankarshan ‘Shanks’ Kini complete the outfit. Their music is a whimsical take on an array of things—past hits, new songs, obscure tunes by artists they really like, and then some...
With Indus Creed, Uday and Mahesh toured the world, including the USSR, the Middle East and Peter Gabriel’s WOMAD festival in Reading (UK), to name a few. They also won a bunch of awards, including an Asia-wide MTV Video Music Award for their song “Pretty Child,” and shared the stage with Bon Jovi, playing to more than 40,000 people in Bombay.
In 1996, MTV flew down Guns ’N Roses guitarist Slash to play live with Indus Creed in Bangalore. They were also the first non-Western band about whom MTV produced a “Rockumentary.”
Uday moved to New York in 1999, where he started his multiculti Indo–rock and funk band Alms For Shanti. AFS scorched through NYC’s club circuit and played at numerous festivals and clubs in North America and India. Uday moved back to Bombay in 2008.
Whirling Kalapas was born in 2009 when Uday and Mahesh regrouped after more than 10 years. The duo that wrote such seminal hits as “Rock ‘n’ Roll Renegade” and “Pretty Child” are back. The music scene in India will be the richer for it.

* GOWRI aka Kozmi Cow - Pune's (and now Bengaluru's) feisty and spirited guitar-and-song gal talks about her music:
"With an acoustic guitar, I sing songs about Bombay, travel, dirt, jealousy, youth, rains and beverages.
Some of my OCs include Butter Fingers, Coffee before poopoo, Gin n Lime, Tea and Psycho Heart. I have written them at different times, in different situations. Listen to them, you will know where I'm coming from.
Each place, each situation and each gig is another experience and maybe a journey to another song."
Her Influences
Tom Waits, Nick Drake, Bob Dylan, Joni Mitchell, Jolie Holland, Keller Williams, Ani DiFranco and Dave Matthews Band are versatile as individual musicians, performers and storytellers. Their music, stories and styles are inspiring.
