Exclusive: British India - Live & Acoustic!

The true mark of a performer is whether or not they can get out from behind the relatively safety of electric guitars and distortion and strip the music right back to the bare essentials.

Luckily, Web Wombat will have exclusive access to some very rare and unseen Live Performances and Interviews from some of the best bands Melbourne has to offer thanks to the boys from Channel 31's The Shambles.

Next in our 'Live & Acoustic' series is Melbourne rockers British India.

For those who have been living under a rock, British India is an alternative rock band based in Melbourne - and have been one of the most talked about bands of the last few years. The band is comprised of Declan Melia (vocals), Nic Wilson (guitar), Will Drummond (bass) and Dougy (Real name Matt O'Gorman) (drums).

The band is notable for their single "Tie Up My Hands", taking the number one spot in the jtv music television programme, with their debut album Guillotine produced by Harry Vanda.

As seen in the interview, Nic and Declan opted not to play a song from their latest album "Guillotine" - instead deciding to whip out a tune which they cooked up only a few hours earlier (the show did air at 7:30am, so chances are the boys didn't get much sleep before coming into the studio) called Sitcom Actress.

In essence, this may very well be the first - or possibly last - time British India ever play this song in public ever again. So it's something of a rare musical moment.
