"Musically fearless, melodically inspired Canadians at their envelope-pushing best", says Q. The notable Spin Magazine wrote "Mother Mother coos lovely boy-girl harmonies, masking their dire lyrics while slyly exulting in the cleansing blaze."
Mother Mother's notoriety stems not only from their knack at making great records, but also due in large part to their remarkable live show.
On stage, this group of five delivers a big sound, executing pristine vocal harmonies while utilizing a variety of multi-instrumental talents.
Ryan, wielding rhythm and lead guitar, sings lead in his unique, brazen falsetto, while the flanking vocal support of Jasmin Parkin and Molly, who both take on key and synth duties, complete the front line.
Jeremy Page on bass and horns, and Ali Siadat on drums and electronics round out the rhythm section to provide the music with an unbending backbone and multidimensional soundscape.
No stranger to life on the road, Mother Mother’s relentless touring has built a large and dedicated fan base.
They've graced the stage with such artists as Weezer, Pearl Jam, Tokyo Police Club, The Decemberists and Spoon.
They’ve toured with Canadian rock institutions Sam Roberts and Matthew Good, and have performed on a diverse array of festival/showcase stages including SXSW, CMJ, The Great Escape, Liverpool Sound City, Pop Montreal, V-Fest, Ottawa Blues Fest, Ed Fest, Rifflandia Music Festival, both the Vancouver and Montreal International Jazz Festivals, and the 2010 Vancouver Winter Olympic Games concert series LiveCity.
Since the band's conception as an acoustic folk trio in 2005, they've since become a force to be reckoned with, reputed as an act who challenges the conventions of popular music, cultivating a sound all their own.
With substantial headway made in the US and Europe, Mother Mother continue to build on that momentum with Eureka. Keep an eye out for them in 2011, it's going to be a big year for Mother Mother.
