Ladies Compartment's Aditi Ramesh on the band's creative process, the need for women musicians to support each other
FirstpostAditi Ramesh, one of the women to start Ladies Compartment, speaks about the story behind the band’s name, the woes of being an artist in the indie scene, and what the average jam session is like Ladies Compartment is a total aural treat. Like the ladies’ compartment of a local train, where women come from different walks of life,” says Aditi Ramesh, who formed the band with bassist Nandita V. With Aditi on keys, Aarifah Rebello on the drums and Ramya Pothuri on the acoustic, their sound is made complete by the vocals, which all of them contribute to. “The scene is still growing, it hasn’t developed enough to accommodate for all the artists that are out there making music,” Aditi says. “Traditionally, there haven’t been as many female musicians… It will change if there are more all-female bands and it gets normalised,” she says, adding that Ladies Compartment’s music has been received well, tag or not.
