Kiran Gandhi, aka Madame Gandhi, is an electrofeminist singer, percussionist and activist. She released her debut EP, Voices, in October 2016, featuring guest appearances from Merrill Garbus of tUnE-yArDs and Alt-J guitarist Joe Newman. The second installment in the three-part EP series, Visions (July 2019), focuses on looking inward to imagine the best version of the self, the community and the world.

Prior to her solo work, Gandhi drummed with politically-minded rapper/electronic artist M.I.A. and has also drummed for acts such as Krewella, Lizzo, Thievery Corporation and Kehlani.

Madame Gandhi tours full-time as a musician and speaker, focused on fourth-wave feminism and modern gender equality.

Established in 2005 in Hollywood, The Do-Over has been supplying the best summer Sunday party options ever since.

Check the throwback video, from the time @djjazzyjeff surprised the crowd at the 2011 @do_over with an elite sample transition of Mobb Deep's "Shook Ones, Pt II" while @questlove lost his mind!
