Yndian Mynah is a South African instrumental band based in Cape Town. 

Their sound can be described as post-rock music with hints of dreamy psychedelia, post-punk and prog rock that vacillate sounds between explosive edges and nostalgic narratives. Influenced by DIY culture, the band started off by playing tightly packed intimate floor shows and quickly elevated to festival stages across South Africa. 

In 2019, they released their debut album ‘Velvet Youth’ - recorded, produced and released through their own independent label, Mount Wave Studio. Singles from the album, including ‘Ridge Forrester’ , “Massimo, Don’t Go” and “Chai Tea”, would go on to represent their dynamic compositions. 

Staying away from conventional rock music, Yndian Mynah is not bound by language or genre, allowing for impressive high-energy live shows that focus on a visual and instrumental journey, left wide open for personal interpretation. Expect large guitar-driven songs led by spontaneous structural changes, with a tendency for heavy breakdowns and momentary euphoria.

Following the release of Gazelle’s first album, Chic Afrique, the group embarked on a journey performing around the globe. During these two years both Xander and Nick encountered many revolutionary artists and forged alliances. The Revolution Will Be Remixed is a Pandoras box of musical surprises that was produced through these new found friendships. Divers DJ versions of the groups original material makes it a unique mix of global influences to African dance music.
