Avinash Ramachandra Joins Only on Tuesdays

LOS ANGELES – Avinash Ramachandra, former drummer of Bones Like Snowflakes, has joined Los Angeles-based alternative rock band Only on Tuesdays.

“I am excited to join this amazing band and be a part of such a creative group of people,” Ramachandra said.

Only on Tuesdays was formed in 2009 by founder/lead singer Autumn Skibinski with a blend of pop, rock and rhythm and blues. The band includes guitarist Eugene Gorsky and bassist Antonio Carter. The band is known for its best-selling EP “Break Free” which was produced by Grammy-nominated producer Bruce Witken.

“Avinash brings a great energy and passion for music that perfectly complements the band,” Skibinski said. “We are excited to have him on board and bring his unique talents to Only on Tuesdays.”

Ramachandra had been with Bones Like Snowflakes for the past two years after performing with Acid Quartet and Caleb Mark previously.

“Bones like snowflakes is an extremely different band compared to only on Tuesdays. Bones, is an instrumental band, so it’s quite challenging to be engaged with the audience without a singer,” he said. “So, we as musicians have be really tight because all the spotlight is on us and this kind energy is exactly what Only on Tuesdays brings to each show and recording session!”

Known for his energetic style and steady beat, the veteran drummer has been on alternative rock scene since his arrival from his native India after a stellar career in his home country that began at age 16 when he discovered his talent for drumming. He would go on to perform in on stage and record with a number of bands and artists, ultimately coming to the U.S.

“My musical philosophy is simply to play to the music. I don’t like the drums getting in the way of the singer and prefer it always to be backing the rest of the band,” he said.
