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
