Mother Tongue are an unconventional blues-rock band formed in Austin, Texas, in October 1990, moving to LA in 2002. Their cult self-titled
debut was released in 1994 but their label Epic showed little patience and effort in promoting a very uncommercial album that didn't include any
radio friendly songs, and so despite touring with Kyuss and Rage Against The Machine, they sold few records and broke up in
1996.However, they reformed in 1999 and produced by Robert Carranza (Beck, Jane’s Addiction), Mother Tongue’s second album
Streetlight was released in March 2002, shortly followed by Ghost Note in 2003. The following tour marked a new high point for the
band, with numerous sold-out headlining shows and international festival slots. Conflicting schedules, various obstacles and a series of
unfortunate events that lead to a split with their label and they have been independent since, releasing their self-funded EP Now or Never
in 2004 and a second, untitled EP on their 2006 European Tour, with their fourth album Follow The Trail released in 2008.Of their future,
vocalist and bassist David Gould says "Keep making records. Keep playing shows. Getting closer and closer to the fire.Burn with more
intensity." « hide |
