tell me in your opinion why mother
mother is described as being oddball
look at us music it’s kind of hard to
put it into a genre because it’s a it’s
a little strange it doesn’t quite fit in
with anything else I hear out there in
the commercial world can you please tell
me the origin story of mother mother
well it began in 2005 I started the band
my sister in Vancouver there’s a fairly
organic natural way of starting a band
is having a vision an idea and a few
songs he believed in and finding the
right people to be a part of it I know
that the band was originally called
mother I was wondering where that name
came from we were called mother simply
because it’s like the best band name out
there we realized that there was other
bands with the name mother I guess it
just made sense to change our name
instead of changing it all together we
just repeated there’s have been the
object of quite a bit of hype you’ve
been talked up by pres Hilton and Spin
Magazine for example would you say that
hype is your friend or your felt it’s
just an acquaintance I guess that we
welcomed and discouraged at the same
time what would you say are the defining
elements or the signature of mother
mother it’s gotta be about the vocals
it’s a collection of different
influences I guess that come into the
sound bands that I often speak to they
say that their hometown is often a
source of inspiration you spend all this
time there you formulate so much of your
personality there you must bring
something away from it I guess I kind of
have a philosophy about inspiration that
it’s you and us right here and it’s
tonight and it was yesterday and it was
in the can
tuna I would feel very fraudulent by
saying all you know it’s the
mountainscape in Montana I don’t know
I’m a drummer that’s really more of a
singer question can’t really bring your
hometown to your drumming in that in the
same sense as you can bring your
hometown into your lyrics
they’re mountain ski mountain I don’t
think so less there’s always nighttime
when we drive through there
