Formed in late November of 2012, Little India has accomplished quite a bit in their lifespan thus far. Their first show was January 2013 as an opening act. Before their set had even finished, the event promoter and the venue had booked them for two headlining shows in the months to come. They have since headlined many venues around local Vancouver and have shared stages that have belonged to acts such as Atlas Genius, The 1975, The Drums, Jets Overhead, and many more.
Their debut EP, “Up All Night” released November 19th 2013, was mixed by Michael Brauer (Coldplay, Rolling Stones, Atlas Genius, The Vaccines, and many more).

Little India Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
where i grew up so long ago
the time i spent alone
with all my twisted thoughts and awe
oh, wait it out, wait it out
from whence(?) your teeth and your mouth
oh, wait it out, wait it out
from whence(?) your teeth and your mouth
and all the things we left broken
it's such a crying shame
oh here we go, we go again
oh, wait it out, wait it out
from whence(?) your teeth and your mouth
oh, wait it out, wait it out
from whence(?) your teeth and your mouth

It’s really nice to see how open and willing you are to not only travel to many different places, but to also eat a whole range of different cuisines

My father was sent to Singapore to work for Bank of America they lived there for 4 years. My parents have both passed now but my mom always spoke of how beautiful and clean Singapore was and she always wish she could go back. All my brothers and sisters got to go visit but I never got to because I was pregnant with my first child and never made it over. That's why I love watching these videos of you there. She always bragged how clean the city was. My dad told me that you had to get your car washed everyday because if your car was dirty you would get a ticket. This was in like 1982.

Wow! Incredible to see how Singapore has been maintaining cleanliness for so long.

😂. .. In Singapore, you won't actually receive a ticket for having a dirty car; however, I've heard that cars are sold there at exorbitant prices, the highest in the world, in fact. For example, a Toyota Corolla can be sold for over S$120k(US$90k), and due to the substantial investment they make, most prefer to keep their cars clean. 😅
