Artist History
Three years ago, we stole the name Your Mother from another band. We stole a P.A. from the local Middle School, and quickly secured a record deal with now-defunct Dogpile Records, which released our debut E.P., the quasi-legendary "I Think We're the Band", featuring the college-radio classic "I'm Drunk Right Now" (which also appeared on the "New York's Dumbest" compilation). We then began the ill-fated tour of Europe and Japan which culminated in the untimely (and widely-publicized) death of Ambassador Kwan. While awaiting the extradition of original guitarist Lee Harvey Osmond from a Belgian prison, founding members Ebonical Bill, Larrybird Johnson and Savage Pudding brought in British-born guitar chameleon Jonathan "Booboo" Barnes, and began work on their long-awaited new album. The first single is the raucous send-up "Heroin Beach Party", which the Village Voice called "Thought-provoking and offensive." |

Press Reviews
"By turns thought-provoking and offensive, ridiculous and sublime, the four members of Your Mother exist in a fractured parallel dimension where rock'n'roll, politically charged satire and Brechtian high-camp all occupy the same space simultaneously, a chrono-synclastic infundibulum of seemingly diverse styles which somehow blend seamlessly into a sizzling slab of turbo-charged rock'n'roll vaudeville. Hilarious and crushing."-NYPress"The house band in Hell as envisioned by Jim Henson."- Spin |
