Almost every Cassette Session has hosted five acts, playing different genres, so it’s not hard to imagine the breadth of the audio-scape traversed in each gig. Operating under a ‘Think Global, Act Local’ philosophy, Tree Huggers Club {THC} believes that local artistes should ideally headline each show. The eleven sessions they’ve organised thus far, have had audiences experience genres like Funk, Rock, Hip Hop, Blues, Electronica, Folk, Singer/Songwriter and others, in a list that’s as long as a wizard’s beard. Music also plays a key role in their other initiative, Flea’ffair, an artistically inclined flea market. That’s a lot of fun too, so be sure to drop by for some cool merch and interesting people.
Once a city with nary a gig, Hyderabad’s music scene has been picking up momentum steadily in the last couple of years, largely due to artistes taking initiative. The scene is young, and the energy is building, so hopefully we’ll have a vibrant culture here of our own – fingers crossed.
