Native Tongue wanted to open for Iron Maiden, but didn’t, somebody else did and got booed…Talk about lucky stars and stubborn scars! They Wanted to open for Mr. Big, but didn’t, their pals did, and they did a good job. They wanted to open for the Red Hot Chili Peppers, but they never came, dang it!
Native Tongue wanted to go play at a festival in the USofA (with a paucity of financial assistance and a plethora of strong will); the boys went to the US Embassy in Chennai and got their passports stamped with ‘Application Received’ not once, twice under section 214(b)
Walter Becker’s mom said, ‘Misfortune builds character', all heads bobb in full agreement! !
Anyways, Native Tongue’s been around for a while, six times to the moon and back to be precise and it’s been real!
No, they didn’t play Strawberry Fields, never applied to go play Mood Indigo, Went all the way to BITS Pilani and ...came back home. Yes, they are too loud for Blue Frog… or that’s what been-there-done-that-we-know-the-scene critics speculate…No sign of its true validity yet.
Heck, Native Tongue has written songs, lots of ‘em, Love, Hate, Sunshine, Corruption, God, Sex (and the) City Life, Split Personalities, Et Al !
Native Tongue sing Strictleee in Engslihhhsss.
Electric Piano, the wisely titled seven song EP released in 2007 has been creating good vibes online and otherwise. The EP can be purchased online at www.musicyogi.com
