about
A bunch of experimental, wise, improbably funky, groovy love kamikazes, Old Jungle Saying is based in one of the lazy layouts of the southern city of Bangalore, India. Influenced by the likes of Primus, The Red Hot Chili Peppers, Faith No More, Infectious Grooves and a whole lot of other bands whose genealogy is hard to trace, Old Jungle Saying serves up sumptuous slabs of psychedelic funk, held in place by the riotous rhythm section of Sandeep Madhavan (bass) and Greg Hamra on drums. As they steer the mothership through the murky, quirky guitars of Mel D’Mello, the charismatic gurgling of Aditya Menon can be heard calling the faithful from above the rarified groove. Old Jungle Saying was born the bastard child of Sandeep Madhavan and Melroy D’Mello, who after finding a drummer to indulge their petulance, enlisted the services of Aditya Menon who was found serenading himself in a local pub. With the wagon on the road, the band was ready to start work on what would eventually turn out to be a brand of macabre funk - lyrics inhabited by the likes of ticked-off monkeys, generous ghosts and Faye Dunaway while still managing to cast a jaundiced eye on the world, a rhythm section that stops, turns and whistles on a dime, guitar licks that weave through without a scratch and vocals that preach and prattle.
