Ramesh Srivastava: „My biggest wish is to keep moving forward with
what I'm doing.“ Today’s episode of the Kaput podcast is a very
personal one. I’ve known Ramesh for around 20 years now. We met
through shared friends when he was part of the indie pop-rock band
Voxtrot. Voxtrot split up in 2010 – and ever since Ramesh has been
releasing beautiful music under his own name, most recently the
brand new album „Eternal Spring“. While in Austin for the first
installment of South by Southwest since the pandemic hit the world,
Ramesh was so kind to open up for a long conversation about his
musical career, including very honest insights of what happens in
band that dissolves and is dropped by their label after not
fulfilling the big dreams, and talking about current songwriting
side paths for other artists like HAIM. We also talk about the
heavy gentrification processes of Austin, his personal relationship
with SXSW, and many other topics. I could keep raving about it
here, but just listen yourself. And make sure to check out the new
album by Ramesh and, spoiler, try to see Voxtrot on stage as the
band is about to go on a little reunion tour. This episode von
„Talking Kaput“ is proudly presented by HAU – Hebbel am Ufer,
