No Rachna, Motherjane is pretty old, it was formed in 1996, not very popular in India, but a real good rock band with a few creative and talented members.
Presently the following members are in the band
Suraj : Lead singer, owner of an amazing vocal range and a passion for philosophy and books.He's the motherjane lyricist, using the band music to comment upon life the way he sees it and the way it should be. Suraj juggles his carrier as a businessman with his life in music. Cool and easy going on the surface, he is contrastingly single minded and tough about the things he believes in. A trait that spills over into his voice which sounds like velvet one moment and solid steel the next.!! | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Baiju : sorcerer , magician Le raconteur..this guy has some ancient tales to tell when he plucks the tender strings of his guitar. Baiju is a living saga of passion and emotions which erupt when he steps on the stage. This media shy maestro is a living inspiration and a guru to countless young men across kerala in search of the song of their life. Though the reticent kinds , when on stage, he lets his guitar do most of the talking!! |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Deepu : The bridge that traverses the myriad scales of Motherjane ..Deepu as the rhythm guitarist effortlessly blends the steely vocals of Suraj,the sly strains of Baiju,the beats of John and the bass notes of Clyde into that beautiful crescendo that splashes like waves across mindstreets!! | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
John : The link connecting all motherjane's musical styles together. Effortlessly marrying intricate patterns and time signatures. John's drumming gives motherjane the platform on which their dynamic style is carried. John freelances as a session/studio drummer and is based in Cochin, Kerala's unofficial capital. This easy-going six footer packs a solid punch that thunders the P.A as he decimates his kit with nonchalant ease !! |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Clyde : Blends into the background onstage and off, but his fingers traveling on the retboard, the brilliant bass lines throbbing in the background of motherjane's songs shouts out louder than any words. Hailing from the beautiful Fort Kochi, hometown of many legendary musicians. Clyde works at a travel desk where he probably does the most talking he ever does. Clyde's oh-so-vital, rhythmic bass lines nail down motherjane's diverse styles onto their distinct, solid groove !! |

Lyrics of Mindstreet
Mmm ..I take a step, in my sleep
The id lies bleeding in mindstreet
My angels shot full of holes
But now I know how to get him home
Cos in this world, made of myth
The rules change with every beat
There's magic in the air
Cos here the gods hear your prayer
Come act your dream in mindstreet
Do what you want, go where you please
Kick the devil in his B's
Stop living on your bleeding knees
Will not give up, they say
This is the way to serendip
Close your eyes, learn to breathe
The oceans are just a few thoughts deep
Believe me, not in me
The messenger is rarely worth it
If you wanna trip, go inside
Where the secrets of the universe hide
And this is how it's meant to be
The journey is the way you pay the fee
Come act your dream in mindstreet
Do what you want, go where you please
Kick the devil in his B's
You don't have to live on your knees
Keep coming back, oh yeah
Human kind has always sensed this track
Feels better every time,
to know that we are all divine
Come act your dream in mindstreet
Do what you want, go where you please
Kick the devil in his B's
Stop living on your bleeding knees
In mindstreet, in mindstreet
In mindstreet, in mindstreet
