Kadak Chai consists of five members - Ajay Gopinath on lead guitar, Jay Matrona on bass guitar and vocals, Rajaram Narayanaswamy on percussion and the husband-wife team of Praveen and Sudha Ramanathan on vocals. The band's music is a blend of Bollywood, rock, and pop influences. They have performed at numerous events across Massachusetts and have gained a dedicated following of fans who love their music and high-energy performances. The band's name, which means "strong tea" in Hindi came about since practice sessions always started with a dose of strong chai. Much like the tea, their music is strong and punchy reflecting a deep love for rock music. Their chords, beats, rhythms, and melodies have a strong guitar base that will have you standing up and dancing! A sound that is different from the norm and sometimes quite unexpected!
