Motherjane (MJ)
"motherjane" the band's Guardian Angel -named in homage to the band's belief that music is by far the best and purest drug in the World. Welcome to the Band, thank you for joining us on the journey called Life ...
Here are 5 Indian men who picked up blatantly western instruments in something as "confined" as a rock band and yet sound like they've found a divine blend between the east and west, in their lives.
Motherjane is the sound of a new India and one that is rocking with perfect balance!
Motherjane have recently been recognized as the Best Rock Act in Asia by AVIMA Awards. An award that we owe to our numerous fans!
