the interview show: Mother Mother

It has been a great year for Mother Mother. Their song “The Stand” from their latest record Eureka has caught a lot of attention.  And this band deserves more attention. They are a must listen for any fan of Metric.

When I reached Ryan from Mother Mother, he was doing the dishes at his father’s house on Quadra Island. Ryan was enjoying a bit of down time.  I am glad he was relaxed because I could ask him questions like “What does wearing women’s underwear onstage do for his swagger?” Listen to the interview for his answer and more crazy questions!

(This show goes out to Coral, a devoted Mother Mother fan who insisted that I have them on the show.)

the interview show with Mother Mother

Mother Mother “The Stand” It’s great to see your hometown team knock it out of the park. One of my favorite songs of the year.

Mother Mother “Ball Cap” Ball Cap is one of Ryan’s first MM songs and one of his most favorites. It shows the band was hitting home runs from their first record.
