Motherjane

The initial line up consisted of John Thomas (drums), Clyde Rozario (bass), Mithun Raju (guitars) and Laji and Nirmal (vocals).

Things took a slight detour after six months, when Mani moved back to Bangalore, but they continued to meet and jam as a band.

In the same year, Motherjane performed at Autumn Muse, the annual cultural festival of St. John's Medical College, Bangalore.

Clay play was eventually released on January 10, 2015, and marked a drastic shift in the musical direction of Motherjane.

[citation needed] In June 2018 Motherjane announced on their Facebook page that they have recruited a new guitar player, Anubhav Langthasa, through auditions.

"Soul Corporations" written by Suraj Mani was featured in Geki-Teki Metal, a compilation album released in Japan in 2004.

[2] Soon after the release of Insane Biography, Rex Vijayan left the band in 2003, and was replaced by Deepu Sasidharan.

Insane Biography was the only Indian album to be featured in the Asian Rock Rising Festival in Japan on 1 November 2003.

Rolling Stone India magazine has stated in their article on the release - "Clarity and confidence drive Motherjane's new EP - '1 1 1' ".
