Biographie de Mother Mother

Mother Mother is a Canadian indie rock band formed in early 2005 from Quadra Island, British Columbia, Canada, based in Vancouver, Canada.

Guitarist and vocalist Ryan Guldemond while attending music school in Vancouver, Canada, wished to start a vocal-driven band guided by pop influences. He enlisted the help of sister Molly and friend Debra-Jean Creelman and played various gigs as an acoustic act before recruiting Kenton Loewen on drums and Jeremy Page on bass.

Originally under the moniker Mother, the band independently released a self-titled album which was recorded with the help of Howard Redekopp who has been known for his work with The New Pornographers and Tegan and Sara. The album wasn’t a huge commercial success but acquired the band a host of high-profile gigs including Vancouver International Jazz Festival, Pop Montreal and opening slots for the Wailin’ Jennys and the Cat Empire. Encouraged to change their name to avoid legal issues the band re-released their debut on Feruary 27, 2007 changing the name to “Touch Up”.

Mother Mother’s sophomore album “O My Heart” received positive reviews, with influences as far-reaching as the Pixies, Mozart and William Burroughs. Its follow-up “Eureka” release March 15, 2011, developed the band on a far more orchestral level and adopted a broader spectrum of genre influences from pop ballads to hip-hop. The band’s fourth full-length “The Sticks” was released on September 18, 2012 and charted at No. 11 in the Canadian chart. The band’s most recent album 2014’s “Very Good Bad Thing” was released November 4, 2014 on Island Records, with single “Get Out The Way” reaching No. 9 on the Canadian Alt Chart.

Avis

I got to see Mother Mother in concert back in 2011 in Tennessee. Their concert was an event to remember.

First, the band looks like they stepped right out of the eighties. Ryan Guldemond had his hair done in an almost fro-hawk that managed to make it through the entire performance. He had the look of Ferris Bueller from the movie of the same name, but the sound that came from the band was anything but eighties.

The crowd fed Mother Mother energy and the band used it to make a concert that was worth the money and effort. The venue was pretty large but it was packed, so people were close. The audience was very eclectic, from hipsters to goth-types.

Mother Mother is a band I really enjoy listening to and I have for a number of years. They borrow styles from a number of places and meld them all together to make a their unique brand of music. They hale from Canada but have played internationally since their inception in 2006. Their music can be enjoyed for any occasion in my opinion, and it varies greatly from song to song. Their concert was great and I hope to see them again in the future.

Probably the best energy in a concert I've seen in a while. Lili sounds live exactly like she does on record, if not better, and was the absolute sweetest when I talked to her after their set. All the bandmates crushed it on stage. Couldn't have asked for a better experience. Go. Listen to Beach Bunny. 1000% no regrets.
