Straight Series: Mother Mother in concert at the Vogue and Commodore
The Georgia Straight is on a mission to bring you some of the best emerging artists out there, and as part of the Straight Series, we're excited to present Vancouver-based Mother Mother on May 4th at the Vogue Theatre and May 5th at the Commodore.
The Canadian pop quintet is getting set to release their third studio album EUREKA—produced by Mother Mother's own Ryan Guldemond—on March 15, and will be embarking on a Canadian tour in support of their new tunes.
Hailing from Quadra Island, the band began as a trio called Mother in 2005 with Guldemond, his sister Molly, and friend Debra-Jean Creelman, but has come to include bassist Jeremy Page and drummer Ali Siadat along with a second Mother added to their name.
Mother Mother's relentless touring has seen them take the stage with artists such as Weezer, Pearl Jam, the Decemberists, Tokyo Police Club, and Spoon; they've toured with the likes of Sam Roberts and Matthew Good, and have rocked festivals around the world including SXSW, Pop Montreal, Liverpool Sound City, and last year's inaugural Live at Squamish.

The Vogue Theatre would be fantastic!
Thank you!
Great local talent :)
Me and my girlfriend missed Mother Mother when they played their free show recently. So we are both extremely excited for these shows! We are both fairly new to Vancouver still (another couple of young Albertans invading Vancouver) and have found the music scene here to be phenomenal. She would be blown away if I surprised her with free tickets.
A) Get a tattoo of "mother mother" and, if my own mother questions my actions, I will tell her that I love her so much that I had to tattoo her name twice.
B) Be the loudest person at the concert. That's a promise.
C) Shamelessly declare to Americans, British, and any ethno-music-centric nationalities that the Vancouver Music Scene is the best in the world; I will sing it from the hilltops.
D) PAY MONEY FOR THEIR ALBUM.
