Alex Watts & the Foreign Tongue are an Australian rock band from Melbourne. The group was formed in 2010 as a solo project for singer/songwriter Alex Watts, who continues to perform with and without the band. BiographyOriginally encompassing punk and blues based rock, the Alex Watts & the Foreign Tongue shifted over its several releases to include singer-songwriter pop, rhythm and blues and soul.[1] As of 2014 Watts expanded the group from a traditional rock'n'roll four piece to encompass horns, keyboards and backing vocals.[2] In 2011 the band released the Desperate Love EP, which was typified by its raw, live sound, and moved stylistically from pop, garage rock, country and acoustic music.[3] In November of that year the band appeared at Queenscliff Music Festival alongside The Triffids and Kimbra. In 2012 the band released This Haunting, a single co-written with Mick Thomas, of Weddings, Parties, Anything, which received a self-directed video. The song was well received in both Australia and Europe, receiving airplay from the main community radio stations in Australia.[4] From that point on the band began a regiment of constant touring, helping to cement their reputation as an exciting live act.[5] They appeared at The St Kilda Festival,one of the largest events in the Melbourne music calendar, in both 2013 and 2014.[6] In 2013 Watts took a break from the band to undertake an acoustic tour of Australia followed by a tour of house concerts in the UK in December 2013-January 2014. These shows led him to record a solo EP, Sing, Strum & Strut, which was released through his own label, Astound Records, on May 27, 2014.[7] Members
