There was a time when the only thing that rocked was cradles, wooden horses and chairs. Nowadays, parties are “rocking”, people are “rocking”, places are “rocking” and even Indian actors, sportsmen and politicians have been described as rock stars.

But three guys who genuinely deserve to use the word rocking are Indian music composers Shankar Mahadevan, Ehsaan Noorani and Loy Mendonsa (S-E-L).

- 45 number one songs
- More than 60 original soundtrack albums
- More than 20 film industry awards

They're veterans of the Bollywood music scene, but there’s nothing stale or old about rock and roll composers Shankar, Ehsaan and Loy.

Join The Three Kings of Bollywood SHANKAR-EHSAAN-LOY on their historic first Australian tour!

Having created over fifty chart-topping Hindi film soundtracks, composed advert jingles, high profile sports anthems and much more, the middle-aged maestros have risen to the top of their field thanks to their clever fusion of contemporary rock and pop sounds with traditional Hindustani and Carnatic music.

Any doubt that the trio were aging or that their music was beginning to sound dated has already been evaporated with their rendition of Paint It Red and Senorita from Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara.

However, the highlight of S-E-L’s genuine ability to rock is that when they perform; by the end of the evening there has never been a hand that doesn’t clap or foot that doesn’t tap along to their beats. S-E-L always won hands down for their sheer energy and ability to entertain across the age barrier.
