Their first EP called 'The story begins...' was released online as a free download in 2003 after which the band released a full-length album 'Home' on its own record label. The band has toured the USA twice with an appearance at SxSW 2007 (Austin, Texas) and a full-fledged tour of Texas, USA as well as a European tour in 2012 with performances in festivals in Estonia, Norway and France. The band won the 2008 Jack Daniels' Best Band of the Year award and got an opportunity to work with REM’s producer Dave Barbe in Nashville, Tennessee. The second album ‘Easy’ was first recorded in a campsite in Uttaranchal after which it took the band four years to re-record and produce the album. Having signed up with EMI-Virgin Records India in 2009, ‘Easy’ was menwhopause’s major label debut with a team that included Miti Adhikari (Radiohead, Nirvana...) and Richard Dodd (Kings of Leon, Tom Petty...). 'Easy' has been declared a commercial success in India and labelled as "one of the most brilliant albums by an Indian band" by The Times of India. The band has also initiated several humanitarian and social projects like the Tihar Jail Music Workshop Series where they helped musically inclined inmates in Asia's largest prison to form a band (The Flying Souls) and record songs. Members of menwhopause are also actively involved in curating and organising Ziro Festival of Music (www.zirofestival.com) - one of India's biggest outdoor music festivals that brings the music scene of the northeast closer to the rest of the world.
