This Friday, May 6th, a critically acclaimed five-piece Canadian indie rock band, Mother Mother will be stopping by the Barking Parrot for a once in a lifetime opportunity to see them perform live!Mother Mother is not just your typical indie quintet; they are the new-age of avant-garde pop, explosively perceptive, with melodic songs and heart-rending lyrics that draw you into their unique sound. Signed to Last Gang Records, Mother Mother released their latest album, Eureka this past March to a wide audience nationwide.The Vancouver Province rated Mother Mother as one of the top five BC bands to watch for in 2007 and CBC has featured them several times as an up and coming group, nationally broadcasting their opening act for K’naan and the Wailin Jennys.They’ve performed at sold out concerts all across Canada, from the Vancouver International Jazz Festival to the Montreal International Jazz Festival, and all across the East and West coast of Canada, celebrating featured articles in the Toronto Star and having successas Single of the Week on iTunes.Mother Mother evokes a wide spectrum of emotion within – its easy listening on a dreamy hot summer’s day or a more serious proposition on a thought-provoking, cold wintery blustery December.Despite their abstract lyrics and titles, Mother Mother is anything but inaccessible.Eureka is an unconventional, hook laden pop-meets-rock album, chock full of catchy, upbeat, tenacious songs that you find yourself humming in the shower or in the car.However they are intertwined with subtle melodies and intricate harmonies that move in and out of a kind of reverie, providing fodder to chew in those quieter pensive moments.The male-female vocal blend, coupled with an interesting succession of drums, keyboard, bass and guitar, help to create Mother Mother’s overall exceptional sound, which is approachable, contemporary and cutting edge.This is a band for the next generation – a band to take notice of, and one to truly watch for, as they take the world by storm.Sold out this week at the Commodore Ballroom in Vancouver, now they are coming to Penticton, and what better opportunity to see them live, then at the Barking Parrot – an intimate setting where you can interact with this iconic band up close and personal! So come out on Friday night and experience first-hand what everyone nationwide seems to be talking about!
