Peter Cat Recording Co. - An Evening With - Tour of the Americas 2025
at The Independent
(8pm)
Peter Cat Recording Co. was formed in 2010. Imagined as a radio station from the near future or a vinyl from the distant past, their true identity transcends any single genre or classification. The music speaks for itself, and each song lives in its own universe.
Having built a loyal fan base worldwide with their critically acclaimed albums, Portrait of a Time and Bismillah, they have performed across multiple continents, with groundbreaking sold-out tours in North America, U.K., Europe, Australia & India.
2024 will see the release of their forthcoming album BETA, a painting of the living and the lived.
PCRC is Suryakant Sawhney on vocals and guitars, Karan Singh on drums, Dhruv Bhola on bass and samples, Rohit Gupta on keys and trumpet, and Kartik Sundareshan on guitars and trumpet.

Formed in New Delhi around 2010 by Suryakant Sawhney, Peter Cat Recording Co. is a group that's mutated over time, shedding members and accruing more, always evolving musically with each album: from gypsy jazz to psychedelic cabaret; ballroom waltzes to epic space disco; bossa supernova to uneasy listening. The story of Peter Cat Recording Co. has unfolded across multiple continents, a cast of creators and perhaps more than anything, an unwavering vision to be that band from India that will challenge just what music from the region can be. In expanding their listener base to North America, Europe and more, they have succeeded in broadening their audience and reformatting expectations, all while acting as an incubator of sorts for a rich palette of solo projects, a distinct visual language, and perhaps more than anything, a canonical reference point to both Indian and international fans alike: there is tremendous value in persistence and not pandering to the expectations of others. "A stunning mix of bossa nova, gypsy jazz and psychedelia, as if sung by Dean Martin." --Clash
