MOTHERJANE

You wake up. You dream through the day, for the night. You land up there for that live gig !
...and what do you take back? Just goosebumps !!!
Isn't that like 'cheating'?

" I believe in Jihad, if love is the weapon', they say in one of their singles. They have their own ways....crazy ways. They have painted half their faces, compared themselves to Ramayana characters and have redefined Carnatic music. But, we still don't know them...and why should we? They don't make the pop numbers that we like !

They miss Baiju, I'm sure. He is arguably the best guitarist Asia has ever seen....but hang on...how often has Asia seen him? You might have, if you've gone around in the best of fests across the globe, but how many times has the media made an effort to tell Indians that... "Hey, here's someone you must know!" They might have, if only Mika hadn't kissed that bitch in some party the other night.

John and Rozario saw that dream. Suraj voiced their opinion and Baiju took them to the hearts of many, though they deserved many more.

Motherjane. Prog Rock. Kerala. Respect.

Peace.

  1. as much as i loved reading it, i really felt bad (as a fan) when Baiju quit Motherjane... Their "fields of sound" is my favorite (musically), and needless to say, "jihad" was the most thoughtful of the lot! I loved their JIHAD ambigram too :P

    Motherjane. India's best prog rock outfit. Respect!
