Shonali Bhowmik

How do you feel about an unexpected dance number? Let New York City's Tigers and Monkeys, joined by comedian Greg Johnson, dazzle you in their super fun, dance heavy video “In an Instant” from their third album Saturday Destroyer. Noted indie video maker Brendan McKnight uses New York City as playful backdrop, seeing Shonali Bhowmik and Jason Lam sing and play in subway stations, rooftops, public parks, and more.

New York City's Tigers & Monkeys is back with their third full-length album Saturday Destroyer, a project that tackles the norms of society and provides a sense of encouragement and empowerment to fight back. Fusing rock, southern influence, and a hint of blues, Saturday Destroyer creates a sound that is unlike any other. Front woman, Shonali Bhowmik, describes the songs as pages taken from her life in a big city which is all things at once: aggressive, careless, staggering, hypocritical and a tease.

According to Variety, 'Brooklyn Nine-Nine' star Chelsea Peretti is set to star as the lead of the independent comedy feature 'Spinster.'
