The eclectic, long-standing voice of Kolkata rock bands Skinny Alley and Pinknoise passed away last month
ONE OF INDIAN ROCK’S MOST revered women artists, Jayas-hree Singh from popular rock bands Skinny Alley and Pinknoise, passed away after a prolonged illness. She was in her 60s and is said to have spent her last year with family in Chennai.
Singh and her husband Gyan Singh—the veteran bassist, who died in 2012—started out in rock music in the Seventies, before finally settling on writing original music in the mid-Nineties and formally creating Skinny Alley in 2001. Completed by guitarist Amyt Datta, keyboardist Jeffrey Menezes and drummer Jeffrey Rikh, the band released their debut album Escape the Roar in 2003.
