The Story So Far
After years of trying to put a band together , Chennai based Singer-Songwriter / Music Nerd, Kishore Krishna came to terms with the fact that his musical ambitions were too overwhelming to impose on the average 20 year old college musician .So in late 2008 he decided to start recording as Adam & the fish eyed poets , a name initially conceived to veil the fact that this was a one- man- bedroom- project but also serve as a tribute to great Existentialist poets of the modern era , and now after having released 2 critically acclaimed, self produced albums, the brooding and intense "Snakeism" (2010) and the streamlined and melancholic "Dead Loops" (2011), Kishore has finally put a band together featuring some of the most talented musicians from the Chennai scene to fully articulate the alternating cathartic and subtly incisive sense of violence in Kishore's unique sound, which he claims is rooted in a volatile balance between the primal sexual energy of the Stax/ Volt era Rhythm and Blues, and the cynical passive aggressive precision of Post Punk acts such as The Smiths , Elvis Costello, and The Cure.
