When Chai Met Toast
The Score Magazine|October 2017

The newest land from the land of coconuts, When Chai meet Toast had a chat with us about their music genre, what inspires them the most, upcoming projects and on their recent journey and more. The band takes inspiration from the lighter side of life to create music that is heart-warming, happy and smile worthy.

When Chai Met Toast

You guys play the genre 'Happy'. How did you define the genre and manage to stick to it?

We did not define a genre, I guess we started songwriting and it just ended up being positive. We have always been a bunch of happy guys trying to make the world a better place by inspiring good in people.

Tell us about each of the band members in one sentence.

Ashwin Gopakumar : Goofy, bearded and sings in the bathroom for fun.

Achyuth Jaigopal : Zoned out, Vegetarian and loves his orange juice. Can be spotted with a guitar all day.

Palee Francis : Short, stout and is very particular about his food, when free plays the keys.

Pai Sailesh : Gamer, loves Prog rock and Coffee is his cup of chai. Except for his dance moves, he is a metronome.

What do you think is the USP of your band?

We definitely give the USP credits to the sound and the positive music we write.
