Colour Tongues

Colour Tongues is an indie rock quartet from Vancouver, Canada with harmoniously diverse musical influences, skill sets, and personalities. Boasting a nurse, a carpenter, an actor, and a dog walker, the band combines elements of math and progressive rock with dreamy indie pop.

Singer and guitarist James Challis moved to Vancouver from Brisbane Australia in 2014 where he would later meet bass player Dan Lavergne via craigslist. The two clicked musically and began writing together, forming the band Colour Tongues with two other musicians who would soon leave the group due to internal strife.

At around this same time registered nurse and drummer Dave Taylor was introduced to Challis at a party in April 2017. Challis and Taylor got on like a house on fire and shortly thereafter, Taylor was invited to join the band.

Meanwhile, guitarist Graeme Meekison was finishing high school feeling somewhat adrift. Not knowing what to do with his life, he refused to go to University without knowing his direction. Left to noodle around on his Ibanez, Meekison started writing prog rock inspired solo work which caught the attention of Challis (again via Craiglist). Meekison was invited to join in a jam session with the group and voila -- Colour Tongues was reborn.
