Cornershop are a British indie band formed in Leicester in 1991 by Wolverhampton-born Tjinder Singh (singer, songwriter, and dholak player), his brother Avtar Singh (bass guitar, vocals), David Chambers (drums) and Ben Ayres (guitar, keyboards, and tamboura)
Their music is a fusion of Indian music, British indie rock, and electronic dance.
They were more widely noticed after the success of a Fatboy Slim remix of their song "Brimful of Asha", from their 1997 third album When I Was Born for the 7th Time.[3] The song was a tribute to the prolific Indian playback singer, Asha Bhosle, and the entire Indian music industry in general. Norman Cook mixed the track without charging a fee because he liked it so much.[3] Paula Frazer appears as a guest vocalist on the track "Good To Be On The Road Back Home".
In 2000, Q magazine placed When I Was Born for the 7th Time at number 68 in its list of the 100 Greatest British Albums Ever.
