Band leader Nayan Bhula has a two decade plus history in the DC music scene.  Starting with post-punk outfit GIST who released 3 full length albums and toured up and down the East Coast & Canada.  This led to a decade with the 8-piece orchestrated indie-folk-rock ensemble The NRIs, who released five EPs.  In a pandemic haze, mid-life crisis at the end of 2021, he decided to go in a new direction.  The new 5 piece band is now simply called NAYAN – with a new line-up, new sound, the band leans on his post-punk, indie rock roots, and adds some synths.  Taking inspiration from the rawness of DC post-punk and an unwavering devotion to classic rock n roll, NAYAN the band, creates a sound that makes you believe in the power of rock n roll.   They have recording sessions in the books at DC’s Ivakota and did one of the last sessions at famed Inner Ear Studios with Don Zientara.  Full length coming in 2023!
