Geeze, what do you want to know?
I helped them also- Sri (the singer) was married to Ray Cappo for some  time. 
she was/is a very talented person. I felt this band was a bit of  a stretch 
for her though. they got lumped into the new york hardcore scene  (because of 
Ray's influence) but obviously weren't hardcore- Sri wasn't  from the hardcore 
scene, nor the united states (from australia), a female and  older then most 
in the scene- it was always a little awkward for her. 
 Some of the songs had their moments. I thought the song "Shiva" was  decent. 
Its on Sri's myspace page now _www.myspace.com/SriKeshava_ 
(http://www.myspace.com/SriKeshava) 
there was one song (cant remember the name) that I thought was really  
incredible and showed her true talents- other then that nothing really stood out  so 
much. 
 She's doing traditional Indian dance now and some music in that  realm- Baby 
Gopal never quite got their feet. Revolving band members and never  really 
got much wind in their sails. 
Sri is still a close friend of mind. Ray Cappo also- Ray and Sri had a  
pretty nasty split up- I tried to remain neutral but am closer to Sri.
