Them Clones

Them Clones came together in 2000 in suburban New Delhi. They consist of Prithwish (lead vocals/acoustic guitar/keys), Joseph (guitars), Gucci (guitar/vocals) Dev (drums/vocals) and Clarance (bass/vocals).

What’s with their intriguing name?
“It came about as we were looking to forge an identity as a left-of-the-middle sort of band. The name reflects the general attitude of the band which was to look at their stage personalities as clones of their selves”, they say.

Formed in 2000, they hit the road playing the college rock circuit all over India in 2001. They started off by impressing the audiences with tight covers of popular rock and grunge classics. Soon people were drawn to their clean, glimmering guitar riffs and soaring vocals. Their songs “My Life” and “Zephyretta” were instant hits, gathering fans all over the country. In 2009, Them Clones finally released their debut album “Love. Hate. Heroes.”. Once referred to as the “Chinese Democracy” of Indian rock, the album is a joint release by Counter Culture Records and EMI and is the band’s first full length studio release since the Clones came together.

Them Clones have played a number of important gigs – a famous one being on UN International Day against drugs & illicit trafficking. TV shows like The Great Indian Rock Festival and Channel [V]’s Launchpad have helped them gain an even larger audience. They have also made an appearance in a Bollywood film.

They’re not lacking when it comes to awards either. Them Clones was awarded Best Band at the JD Rock Awards twice in a row in 2006 and 2007 and were 2nd runners up at the Channel [V] AMP Big Break All Asia.

Inspired by the dramatic world of rock n’ roll and of course themselves, their tryst with songwriting has directed them across the course of the thoughtful to confessional, from the assertive to the provocative; but has been, consistently, accompanied by a tight groove or a silken melody.
