Bio:
Inter-Alia was formed this summer late in the month of April ’09..
The band consists of versatile musicians, who have the knack for experimentation, originality and most importantly, rock’n’rollability!
Imran Lodhi, who handles the Bass Guitar, while simultaneously juggling Lead/Backup Vocals is more widely known for his involvement with The Aunty Disco Project, Project Snowman 2009, and for Lodhee. His experiences in and out of the studio, have shaped his perception of music at a higher level that doesnt follow the mainstream at all.. think of jimmy paige of the Led Zep….tell me one chord that he played that youv’e actually played thats part of the same harmonics…thats Imran Lodhi to you.
Osman “Oz” Siddiqui is more known for his compositional abilities with Kings of the Juice and the Great Drama Queen Project. His guitar playing synthesizes old 70’s essences and blends them with our present modern music scenario.And what do you get? a peek at “Run Besides me” or ” Sweet Sugar” should give you a better idea of what Oz’s Roundabout guitar skills are all about. He handles Lead Guitars/ while simultaneously balancing Lead and Backup Vocals.
Marshall Niles played for 13years as Drummer for “Crude Peace”, and moved from Toronto to Montreal to broaden his Musical Experiences. He’s Performed as drummer/guitarist with the likes of Zoe Bentley, The Ludes, The Sextons, Pandamonia, Aisha Boyce and now Handles Lead/Rhyhtm Guitars and Lead and Backup Vocals with Inter-Alia. He is also known as the owner of his own Record Label, SWASRA Records, which has left its mark on numerous montreal bands in the last 3 years. Marshall was recently featured on TV and Radio, as a upcoming artist, and a fundraising assest for Breast Cancer Research.
Rafae Rehman brings about the backbone of the bands music abilities. His drumming has left many in the crowd grooving for more. Rafae lent power to The Kings of the Juice, with his steady grooves and powerplays, Rudiments and Accents, and more importantly with his intense energy and zest to put on a good show.
Adding his own flavor, combined with The rest of the band,is what makes Inter-Alia something you should do every morning, afternoon and night, after waking up and before sleeping.
That’s your recommended prescription for today!!
