Singer announces new vocal technique

In a move likely to shock longtime fans, Geoff Geis, singer for Los Angeles rock band The New Motherfuckers, announced this week an end to English-language lyrics in the band’s songs.

Instead, Geis told The Tsunami, he will only be speaking in tongues during live performances and studio recordings.

“I had been practicing this new vocal technique – speaking in tongues – for weeks in the shower,” Geis said. “Well one morning Duncan overheard me. Needless to say, we decided to lay down some tracks.”

Since abandoning singing actual words, Geis said the band has been able to churn out two dozen new tunes, which it will be debuting at a gig April 20 at Hot Town Gallery.

“Writing has been way easier,” Geis said. “Duncan comes up with a few different chord progressions, and I just start yelping. I think the fans are really going to dig it.”
