It’s happening. 

No, this isn’t a dream. 

We can’t contain our excitement any longer. 

We have two HUGE reasons to celebrate. 
It’s Maed in India’s 300th episode!!! 
We’re celebrating this milestone with a band that’s been the soundtrack of the lives of college students through the late 90s and early 2000s. 

Mae has the iconic alt rock band Zero in the studio to celebrate 300 episodes of the show! And she’s even brought an old friend along with her too - Music Journalist, Co-founder of erstwhile NH7.in, Head of Red Bull Media House India, and #1 Zero superfan – Arjun S Ravi. They chat to Sidd, Warren, Bobby and Rajeev about their first i-Rock, about how these Dadar boys know each other, what their songs are really about (kinda) and how Zero once almost broke up. You also get to hear about how they got paid for a gig in sandwiches, a Europe tour that never happened because they weren’t “Indian enough”, using underwear as a pop filter, Buffy The Vampire slayer, leather chaps, and a whole lot more. You’ll also get to hear them perform a song that they’ve never recorded before right here on Maed in India.

Song List:

Mariachi (01:44 - 06:32)

Wish (34:09 - 38:50)

Take Me Away (1:10:18 - 1:15:19)

Zero is:

Rajeev Talwar on Vocals

Warren Mendonsa on Guitars

Girish 'Bobby' Talwar on Bass

Sidd Coutto on Drums

Whether it’s a shoegaze band from Chandigarh, thrash metal act from Visakhapatnam, rapper from Kashmir, vocal folk quartet from Kohima, Tamil indie pop act from Madurai, or a singer-songwriter from Mussoorie, Maed in India is where you’ll discover it.

Started in 2015, music nerd and ex-radio presenter Mae Mariyam Thomas showcases the best talent coming out of South Asia and its diaspora. 

The show is India’s first indie music podcast and prides itself on being the premier destination for new music, little known stories that give you a peek into the lives of independent musicians, as well as being an ongoing archive of unreleased music never heard before.

“Remember that in the darkest days when everything stopped, you turned to artists.” - Jishnu Bandyopadhyay
