The
Suryakant Sawhney started out as a filmmaking student in San Francisco and now is the lead singer and guitarist of Delhi-based Peter Cat Recording Co., which he started in 2013. He also performs under the name 'Lifafa.' While PCRC is known for its blend of jazz and indie rock, Lifafa dives deep into electronic music with elements of Indian folk and traditional sounds. His live performances are known for their energy and unique presentation and are one of a kind.
In this episode Vinamre and Lifafa discuss:
- PCRC gaining popularity in the US and what goes behind planning the tour
- His best/worst shows and performing at random venues in the early days
- His experience in Cambridge and LA and how different India is compared to other countries
- His relationship with people, especially his mom, and making an image hosting site at 16
- His views on the music industry and how music affects him
If you're a fan of PCRC or LIFAFA, then this episode is for you. Don't miss it.

Been listening to Peter cat for years ..such creative people ..
Peter Cat Recording Co , Superfuzz, Delhi University Fusion Music scenes, Balcony TV. Very interesting times back then. Not sure if calling it an alternative music world would be the right thing but one of the best times in independent music scenes. Although, production quality suffered due to technical, professional or financial reasons but conceptually inspiring times.
The real fun was had after and before the podcast
