National July 4, 2013: The first season of ?MTV Sound Trippin? created ripples across the country for its fresh take on music coupled with the sounds of unexplored India. After bagging 25 million views on-air, 1 million Youtube hits and selling over thousand copies in a month, ?MTV Sound Trippin? broke all the conventional barriers to be known as the most unique music show on television ever. This July, the avant-garde music director, Sneha Khanwalkar, is back to weave her magic with HTC One presents ?MTV Sound Trippin? Season 2 as she continues with her pursuit of authentic sounds, from July 14, 2013 at 8pm.

Speaking about the new season, Aditya Swamy, EVP & Business Head, MTV India explains, "Sound Trippin was an ambitious music experiment but the response we received from the music fraternity and our viewers/users was incredible. The show itself was refreshingly new, the music was raw yet catchy and the critical acclaim has encouraged us to produce the 2nd season. This reinforces MTV?s position as trendsetters in the curating and presenting music. With a different theme and new territories, the journey from sound to song will continue to fascinate you".

?MTV Sound Trippin? is an original format home grown, conceptualized and owned by MTV. The show follows the journey of sound to song with the multi-talented music genius Sneha as she ventures boldly into the lesser-known India, backpack and recorder in tow, in relentless search of raw sounds. As she explores newer musical mines, she successfully captures the essence of a location or a community giving viewers a glimpse in their lives.

As Season 1 dabbled with capturing sounds from different places that best represented them, in Season 2, MTV Sound Trippin turns the concept around. The second outing of the show will see Sneha go to different places in search of one kind of sound. These unique sounds will embody nine universal themes - Healing, Comedy, Toys, Strength, Women, History, Movement, Food, etc. Sneha will travel to multiple places she might find sounds to fit the themes, the sounds will range from a traffic jam in a metro city, chirping of birds in a sanctuary, laughter of an audience to the flapping of currency notes in the counting machine and rappelling to the commotion on a construction site depending on the episode?s theme. Furthermore, every theme will have a face and a day in his/ her life will be shown through the themes.

Elated to commence her journey, Sneha Khanwalkar, the Contemporary Music Director and host, explains "This season of MTV Sound Trippin will take the audience on a completely different musical journey. It is different from the first season yet keeping intact the essence of the show. With Season 2 we go to multiple locations, discover multiple sounds to match one particular theme. I am super kicked about this season?s concept as the search for music sees no boundaries. These themes are something we encounter on an everyday basis. Creating music out of the usual sounds one hears every single minute is a challenge as well as learning for me."

The debut season of MTV Sound Trippin in 2012 received rave reviews for its uniqueness and content. Tung-tung and Yere-yere became mega hits enjoying extensive mobile downloads with multiple requests across radio stations. With Season 2, MTV Sound Trippin aims to bring back the magic as it creates melodies with the most unexpected instruments. Come, be a part of this melodious search of music and experience its creation from the very sounds you are surrounded by.

Embark on a Journey of Sound to Song Across India with Sneha Khanwalkar only on MTV starting June 14, 2013, every Sunday, 8pm

New Delhi, July 4, 2013: Straight-talking style gurus of TLC?s WHAT NOT TO WEAR, Trinny Woodall & Susannah Constantine, have just 12 hours to turn 20 ordinary women into glamourous runway models. TLC, India?s favourite lifestyle channel, presents the style experts in the new makeover series ? TRINNY & SUSANNAH?S AUSTRALIAN MAKEOVER MISSION. The two renowned stylists who are also fashion journalists and designers travel to the land down under better known as Australia to do what they do best ? turning hapless fashion failures into unexpected fashionistas with their signature style of makeover interventions.

A five-part series, TRINNY & SUSANNAH?S AUSTRALIAN MAKEOVER MISSION premieres every Saturday at 9pm starting July 13 only on TLC.

Every episode of TRINNY & SUSANNAH?S AUSTRALIAN MAKEOVER MISSION is set in a different Australian city ? Sydney, Canberra, Melbourne, Parramatta, Brisbane and Newcastle ? where the hosts roam the streets looking for women who could be beautiful and confident, but aren?t. With the help of their professional makeover team including a hairdresser, make-up artist, two seamstresses and a photographer, Trinny and Susannah bring about dramatic transformations by showing the Australian women how to dress for their body types and inject their own personal style. Reinvigorated by their new-found beauty and confidence, these women are ready to strut their stuff on a catwalk in front of an audience of family and friends.

It?s a once in a lifetime opportunity for most of the women in the show, but there?s a catch ? the ladies must commit to a blind makeover. Every mirror is removed and their new look is kept top secret until they face their brand new image on the catwalk at the end of the day. Tears and tantrums turn into excitement and ecstatic disbelief as these radical transformations arm them with confidence and a deserving moral boost.

Every city is a new challenge and every group of women they meet is unique. Follow Trinny and Susannah on their quest to educate, motivate and inspire women all around the world in the following episodes of TRINNY & SUSANNAH?S AUSTRALIAN MAKEOVER MISSION:

Sydney
Trinny and Susannah head south to the heartland of Sydney?s beach culture. In the Sutherland Shire, if you?re not swimming, surfing or jogging, you?re dressed like you?re about to. With beach casual at a new low, Trinny and Susannah scour the beach, the streets and the local RSL (Returned and Services League) for fashion failures. If the Shire ladies aren?t dressing down they?re covering up and some are making fashion statements that are better left unsaid. Standouts include a busty babe bashful about her best assets, a middle-aged mum ageing before her time and a mother of three taking the next step after losing her husband. Plus, Trinny and Susannah get tough with two of the participants who think they have all of the answers. The Shire is tough turf but Trinny and Susannah are up for the challenge.

Canberra
Trinny and Susannah hunt down crimes of fashion in Australia?s capital. With just 12 hours to restyle, revamp and redeem, they must find the most deserving women desperately in need of their help. In Canberra they find corporate ladies and bureaucrats who?ve lost all sense of their femininity and sporty mums whose get-ups are nothing short of tracksuit train wrecks. Along the way they meet a weight loss victor starting from scratch, a prison officer robbed of her femininity and a 44-year-old mum whose transformation is so shocking she?s afraid her kids won?t recognise her. Plus, tough love Trinny is brought to tears after meeting a woman whose confidence is rocked following years in an abusive marriage. The makeover is tough going for some, but at the catwalk show they shine and their friends and families are in shock at the radical transformations.

Melbourne
In Melbourne, Trinny and Susannah scour the city to see if its reputation as Australia?s fashion hotspot is spot on. By train, tram or platform heel, they stop at nothing to find fashion failures and uncover Melbourne?s shameful style sins. They find that ?Melbourne black? is out in force and isn?t necessarily a passport to chic. And like the other Aussie cities they?ve visited, when women feel down their style suffers along with their self-esteem. Joining their mission is a ?rock chick? mum petrified of losing her identity, a country girl who looks like a female version of Crocodile Dundee, a breast cancer survivor looking for a fresh start, a grandmother who hasn?t worn a dress in almost 40 years and a landscape gardener whose fluroscent yellow uniform makes her a beacon for bad taste.

Parramatta
Trinny and Susannah head west from Sydney along the river to Parramatta. As Trinny and Susannah seek out Ugg-boot wearing culprits, they uncover a group of women as diverse as the city itself. Self-esteem in Parramatta has hit rock bottom but Trinny and Susannah know the women of the West have what it takes to shine and start a style revolution. Among the Parramatta posse is a Peruvian-born beauty afraid to stand out, a recent divorcee who feels like a fish out of water, a petite plain Jane whose boyfriend critiques her style choices and a mum grieving from the loss of her daughter who has completely given up. The makeover mission in Parramatta is tough as emotions are on edge and one participant refuses to listen. Have Trinny and Susannah got what it takes to win over the West?

Brisbane
The Sunshine State?s capital is next on Trinny and Susannah?s tour of duty. It?s got glare, glitz and glamour and it?s definitely not afraid to show itself off. As they scope the city for makeover potential, Trinny and Susannah find women with it all on show; they don?t call it ?Brisvegas? for nothing! As they dig deeper, our makeover queens discover a worrying trend; if women aren?t getting it out, they?re giving up all together. Joining their mission is a sultry mum whose son thinks she should dress her age, a grandmother with a look stuck in the sixties, a young mum wearing her mother-in-law?s hand-me-downs and a former hippy who took off her bra in Nimbin over 30 years ago and has been going commando ever since.

Newcastle
Once the steel city, Newcastle has recently had a makeover of its own. The arts scene is buzzing, it?s a food and wine hotspot, but some of the ladies in this laidback, surf-side city have a style that screams small-town. Trinny and Susannah hit the streets in search of Newcastle?s daggiest duds and come up trumps with makeovers you?ve got to see to believe. Signing up for a 12 hour, tough love marathon is a bait and tackle shop owner whose waist-length hair gets the chop, a young mum whose husband?s wandering eye has left her self-esteem on the floor, a weight loss champ not celebrating her shape and a gym junkie whose sports gear has been hiding a hot bod.
