Los Angeles, United States (2006 – present)
Bitter:Sweet is an electronic/trip-hop duo with jazz-like qualities from Los Angeles. The band is comprised of Shana Halligan, who provides vocals and lyrics and composes the songs, and Kiran Shahani, who produces and composes the songs.
The duo was formed in 2006 when Halligan answered a Craigslist ad for a singer posted by Shahani, who had previously founded the Supreme Beings Of Leisure. Their 11-track debut album, The Mating Game, was released April 4, 2006 under Quango Music Group and has been reviewed and recognized by several magazine publications, such as Urb and People. The title track was featured on a commercial for the winery, Korbel.
In summer of 2007, Bitter:Sweet released The Remix Game, featuring reworked versions of tracks from The Mating Game by renowned producers such as Thievery Corporation, Fort Knox Five, and Skeewiff. These tracks were previously available only on vinyl, or unreleased.
They are often compared to, or appeal to fans of, Zero 7, Morcheeba, Björk, Portishead, Everything But The Girl, and Serge Gainsbourg.
Recently, they have been listed on the Top 10 on the iTunes Store electronic chart and have been placed on radio station KCRW’s Top 5 Most Requested CD for the week of March 20, 2006 [1].

I found a few new songs from Shana on Stuhr Music's Soundcloud page (soundcloud.com/stuhrmusic/sets/shana-halligan-2010). They sound great! I can't wait for her solo project.

I disagree, Drama is of a high and consistent quality. I've listened to it as much Mating Game. I greatly look forward to a new album.

The mating game=Classic. Drama :(.. I sense that you guys went for the fame while working on the drama cd. I remember when the mating game came out me and my girlfirned took a trip to Orlando and we played teh cd none stop from miami to O. Drama failed to grasp me in its claws. Major disappointing album. I hope you guys find a formula between the mating game and whatever it is your after. Awesome talent should not be wasted.
