Mother Tongue
Albums
Two years after the band was founded, The Cult singer Ian Astbury witnesses a magnificent MOTHER TONGUE live show. He was so impressed that he quickly hired them to support his own band. Thanks to the prominent advocate, they quickly get their first record deal.
The band, consisting of singer/bassist David “Davo” Gould, guitarist Christian Leibfried, drummer Geoff Haba and second guitarist Bryan Tulao, released their self-titled debut album in 1994.
Style
The listener can expect a boisterous groove chunk of bluesy 70s rock, funk rhythms and soul quotes, which stands out from the mass of rock releases above all due to its rampant jam character.
Nevertheless, the big success unfortunately failed to materialize. And so the band broke up in 1996.
Reunion
The band got back together years later, released “Streetlight” (2002) and “Ghost Note” (2003) and Noisolution made an effort to re-release the debut classic “Mother Tongue” (2004), but then the band collapsed again. The path of this band seems to be an eternal up and down, a career that has oscillated between heaven and hell in the music industry since the early 90s. Launched as one of the great hopes of the alternative scene, and then stranded again. Restarted, resurrected, found a loyal following in faraway Europe and yet broke up again, fell, stumbled and always came back – stronger than ever.
In 2016, the band released a doppl CD with the two Noisolution albums “Streetlight / Ghost Note” and went on tour again.
