A chance meeting and an amazing jamming session in Fort Kochi between two musically inclined guys (Achyuth and Ashwin) led to the creation of When Chai Met Toast .The band from the coconut land is famous for its chirpy  and very uniquely infectious happy music that is sure to make you feel light even when you are having a bad day.

It consists of four members: Pai Sailesh on the drums, Palee Francis on the keyboard, Achyuth Jaigopal plays the guitar and banjos and Ashwin Gopakumar is the lead vocalist. The band’s musical genre is Indie-folk-alternative but they describe their genre as ‘happy’.

They released their first EP earlier this year named ‘The Joy of Little Things ‘and they describe it as “A proper filled out, flushed out record which, brings out a neofolk sound and promises a lot of happy storytelling”. They say that their aim is to create acoustics that transcend age, genre and even language.
