Arguably Vancouver’s most famous native band Mother Mother is returning to their hometown for a collection of shows. Coming off their latest album together Inside the band will return home to play four shows from the 2nd of December through to December 5th. 

All four shows will be held at the infamous Commodore Ballroom but only one of those shows will be an all ages event. The afternoon show on December 4th at 2:00pm will be the only show that permits minors. All three of the remaining performances will require patrons to be of legal drinking age.

The band will take a short intermission for the early months of the year before playing two shows in Victoria during the early spring. After which they take overseas for a European tour that will see them hit the stage in Finland, Sweden, Norway, Denmark, Germany, France, Spain and more. 

Mother Mother debuted in 2005 under their then name Mother with a self-titled album. The band would later rebrand due to legal troubles regarding their name, and changed their name, the title of their debut album to Touch Up, and adding several new songs to the re-release. 

The Quadra Island natives have reached the top-five in the alt-rock charts five times, and have taken the top spot twice with hit singles The Drugs in 2016 and later Get up in 2018.

The band has seen a number of changes in personnel over the past several years, including longtime bassist Jeremy Page being replaced by Mike Young in 2016, and Jasmin Parkin taking over the vocal and keyboard duties from Debra-Jean Creelman in 2009. Percussionist Kenton Loewen also left the band in 2009.

Mother Mother is one of the most recognizable names in music when it comes to homegrown talent in BC, and with their many Canadian shows coming up, and their tour of Europe the band’s name is only growing larger. Catch them in concert in Vancouver at the Commodore Ballroom this December.
