Imphal Talkies And The Howlers is a Folk-Rock band from Manipur, formed in the summer of 2008 by Akhu and Sachidananda. The band is now based in New Delhi. 'Imphal Talkies' is actually the name of a cinema theatre in front of Kangla fort which used to screen only ‘A’ rated movies, which in a conservative society like Manipur and in a small town like Imphal, was ahead of the times. Deriving their name from the theatre the band members with PhD & MPhil degrees, write lyrics contemporary or ahead of their times and get invitations to perform not only in music concerts but also during public protest. Their album got reviewed in Rolling Stone Magazine, India calling the band as "Voice of The North East''. Since then the band has been performing at protest events in and around Delhi. The band mostly performs protest songs against Armed Forces Special Powers Act, 1958, and atrocities towards minorities. The band perform in both, English and Manipuri and have played at a number of venues in and around the capital. Their genre is a mixture of Hindustani, Folk Rock and Alternative music.
