Local Indy pop-rock band, Mother Mother digs in for the long haul and firmly establishes itself as a solid force in the music industry with their latest album, The Sticks.
The Orpheum was sold out last night for the last concert in their 2012 cross Canada tour of their latest album, The Sticks.
Mother Mother's new album hosts a number of solid, catchy songs with a message like, "Let's Fall in Love". When the band started into The Stand, it took a few bars to recognize the injection of the Pixies' Cactus. It was a nice mix that worked well and was not lost on the crowd.
Infinitesimal was a big hit as was Bit By Bit which got the crowd dancing.
But it was especially clear this band has a solid following when they broke into Ghosting, a song from a few years back. Those who weren't already on their feet rose to belt out the lyrics along with the others.

Quite often it's only the ground floor listeners who get to their feet, but people were dancing on the upper balcony. The crowd wasn't particularly raucous, no one shifted the chairs to form a mosh pit, but it was obvious they were having a great time. This album is more about asking people to use their heads to think, than butt heads with their friends.
One of the most fascinating observations was the age range within the audience. The crowd was predominantly in their 20s 30s but there was a significant number of older fans in their 60s and 70s who seemed as well versed in the lyrics as the younger crowd.
Mother Mother closed the show with Oh My Heart and Let's Fall in Love a finale that was satisfying all around.
