New Delhi alt rock act Them Clones played the eighth date of their ten-city “Singles” tour on July 02 at Someplace Else, Kolkata. In keeping with the venue’s spirit, the show which kicked off late and went on to well past midnight. The band was able to pull in a sizable crowd to the Park Street venue despite the rain in the city. While the two new singles were well-received, special adulation was reserved for their rendition of Coldplay’s ‘Yellow’, and old favourites ‘The Bomb Song’ and ‘My Life’, off 2009′s Love.Hate.Heroes.

Check out our recent coverage of the band’s star-studded tour opener in New Delhi last month.

Watch: ‘All About A Heartbreak’ – Them Clones

Indiecision — Tue, 24 May 2011 17:31:00 +0000

Self-proclaimed left-in-the-middle sort-of alt rockers Them Clones‘ newest video for ‘All About A Heartbreak’ draws inspiration from the unlikeliest of sources. Take our plastic-fantastic hero’s entrance for instance, that Porsche seems custom made for Shahid Kapoor to walk out of. Now consider our heroine at 2:24. Odd, how these guys haven’t been sued by the makers of Vidya Balan starrer The Dirty Picture.

The single itself is one of two promised new singles from the New Delhi quintet now-quartet.
