Artist Biography by Tom Demalon
Baby Gopal was a New York based quartet that
combined elements of American punk and British alternative rock during
their relatively short-lived existence in the ‘90s. The band formed
around lead singer Sri, an Australian expatriate who found her way to
the States and fell in with the New York hardcore scene. Having grown up
in an entertainment-oriented family in Bondi Beach (her father owned a
nightclub), Sri traveled through Europe, Asia, and Africa after leaving
school, absorbing the various cultures. In 1995, she moved to New York
City and, with several other members of the local punk scene, formed
Baby Gopal. A year later, the fledgling act released a couple singles
through the Caroline-affiliated Get-Go Records, followed by a
self-titled, full-length album in 1997. The release was well-received
and the group began to build a following through constant touring and
college radio airplay. However, the quartet disintegrated soon after
jumping to Tommy Boy, leaving Sri to pursue a solo career.
