Windsor Live Music: Mother, Mother (Vancouver) and Lotus Child (Vancouver) this Friday!

Okay, okay...

This is a big night coming up on Friday.

Mother, Mother (Vancouver) and Lotus Child (Vancouver) are coming to clobber Phog.

I emplore you to go listen to their music, as it will surely be the medicine you need.

I repeat...this is another "I told you so" type of show. You DO NOT want to miss this.

Here are some testimonials/reviews of the new album, Touch Up by Mother, Mother:

"Listening to Mother Mother is like reading Hunter S. Thompson – you end up in a place where reality has been delightfully skewed, though you’re not altogether aware of it." - ML, Chart Attack

"TOUCH UP comes packed with acute, snappy pop songs...the free-spirited TOUCH UP feels refreshing as an album isolated from a lot of today's worn-out trends and aesthetic mimicry." - Pitchfork Media

"Touch Up may just be the best album of 2007, and Mother Mother have set the standard that everyone -- Arcade Fire, Stars, Wolf Parade, The New Pornographers, everyone -- will have to try and measure themselves against." - I Heart Music

" As the album starts with some muted chords, a cowbell and a three part round you sense you are about to hear something different from the norm. Folky, bluegrass breakdowns and harmonies are paired with freak folk interludes, yelps and drums. I know this sounds like it would never work, but it really does." - Hero Hill, Music Blog

"Mother Mother, a brilliantly playful pop quintet from Vancouver, covers all the big subjects (love, death, transvestitism) on their debut disc, and always finds the dark fun in them." - The Globe and Mail - 4 stars

"While their dynamic vocal interplay often draws comparisons to The Pixies, Touch Up is like nothing you’ve ever heard before." - Sandra Sperounes - The Edomonton Journal
