"The epic orchestrations of this progressive three piece from central New Jersey range from swirling psychedelia to fits of heavy doom laden cacophony."-Water Street Lounge
Formed in the fall of 2005, So is the Tongue is a progressive/experimental 3 piece from central New Jersey. We had a different drummer first that didn't want to learn stuff like poly-rhythms so he just played shitty blast beats instead. That sucker had to go and luckily we found the chef to take his place.
Since winter of 2006 we've been playing clubs, bars, basements and other DIY spaces in tri-state area including NYC and Philadelphia with such bands as Cleric, Behold...The Arctopus, Kayo Dot, Unearthly Trance, East of the Biclops, Dysrhythmia, Bloody Panda, A.F. Elephant., and the fake Jerry Only fronted Misfits to name a few.
So is the Tongue recorded their debut album over the course of a year on the top floor of a jersey shore mansion by a certain myspace celebrity/dep guitar tech.
We now bring you 4 (long) songs that can't be edited down to 3:30, don't have a chorus, you can't dance to it, and definitely won't impress your girlfriend if she finds you listening to it.
NEW HEAVY SOUNDS - A club night for those not afraid of aural assault!
A new night of heavy live sounds and DJs to match in a new venue as dark and loud as necsary.
Following the storming first night of New Heavy Sounds in September (with the marvellous BO-NINGEN headlining), we're super excited about the next NHS night, with zombie-baiting wonders CHICKENHAWK supported by the brilliant heavy garage of BAD FOR LAZARUS, the tight'n'heavy FRAFF and Cardiff's great STRANGE NEWS FROM ANOTHER STAR.
DJs include IGOR VOLK (NYPC / Diesel:U:Music Radio rock show) + STU PLIMSOLES. Visuals courtesy of image meister the k e r n s.
