[ATTENDED: February 1, 2022] Mother Mother
I I had never heard of Mother Mother before a few months ago. They have been around for over fifteen years, but recently a few songs from their 2008 album blew up on TikTok. Because I have teenagers, I found out about them second hand.
And I fell in love with the frenetic guitar and lyrics of “Hayloft,” which led me to explore more of their music.
Way back on April 29 of last year, I bought four tickets to this show for me, my kids and a friend. It seemed like it would never get here. Then it seemed like it might get cancelled or postponed, but it did go on, although not exactly as planned.
When I bought the tickets, the band was playing The Foundry. The Foundry is an amazing intimate venue that hold 450 people. I was super excited that they were there because whenever I’ve seen a band there, I’ve practically gotten to high five them. So I was a little bummed when in December it was announced that they’d moved the show to TLA. TLA is bigger (and I usually have a hard time getting there, but it was great tonight). Of course, this is great for the band, as TLA holds 1,000 people. And it sold out, so they doubled their attendance.
It also turned out that Mother Mother puts on a BIG show. Big lights, big sound. They used the whole stage. And The Foundry’s stage is like the size of a dining room table, so the show would have been nowhere near as amazing. So good for everyone. (more…)
