Knitting Factory Records, 2011

"Shilpa Ray and her Happy Hookers play grinding blues, sleazy jazz, and bracing rock with punk immediacy and pop appeal. The result? Something like a vulgar Ella Fitzgerald, channeling Nick Cave and PJ Harvey, and singing her songs before a wall of distortion and thunderous, pounding rhythms. Live shows are already a notorious commodity — and audiences have been screaming as loud as the band does." -last.fm
On tour with
Acid Mothers Temple(seriously one of the best live bands you'll ever see) right now
