Mother of Three is going to Los Angeles to support Greg Barris’s Heart of Darkness at the Upright Citizen’s Brigade Theater, with special guests Janeane Garofalo, Marc Maron, and more. Then they’re back in NY for October in time for CMJ, with another Heart of Darkness (with Reggie Watts, Dave Hill, Kristen Schaal, and more).
Vending Machine is getting ready to drop another record of idiosyncratic Memphis pop in November. The artwork is done and the masters have been mastered and it looks and sounds great. Stay tuned for more info!
The Corrupt Autopilot LP “Greetings from Ghost Country” is now available for free download at http://corruptautopilot.com — pay as much as you want, even $0 if that’s what you think it’s worth.
Finally, Yazan has been in the studio recording a solo effort of acoustic songs inspired by the likes of RL Burnside, Skip James, Bob Dylan and Nick Drake. We’ll put some songs up soon, but if you want to hear it now, come out to the show on Wednesday!
This show is many things. It is:
-a record release show for the new Corrupt Autopilot album, Greetings from Ghost Country
-as well as a benefit for friend and tattoo artist Matty No Times, who had to get a liver transplant with no health insurance covering him
-a birthday show for the Corrupt Autopilot himself (a.k.a. Dima Drjuchin)
-a supergroup made up of members of Mother of Three, New Beard, and AudioAmor
-a guest performance by the lovely and talented Aerial East
The Corrupt Autopilot LP, Greetings from Ghost Country (SHT004), is out now at http://corruptautopilot.com! You can listen to the whole thing for free, and download the whole thing for as little as $5. Corrupt Autopilot is the music of Mother of Three bassist Dima Drjuchin, and Greetings from Ghost Country was brilliantly recorded and produced by Andrew Dunn and Ben Wigler, the brains and beards behind New Beard. The record is a circus of sound, featuring performances from: Yazan and Jonas from Mother of Three, Nik Dryuchin (AudioAmor), Eric Stephenson, Tony Waldman, Ben and Andrew from New Beard, Greg Barris (Heart of Darkness), Gian Carlo Feleppa (Mink Lungs, Emergency Party), Aerial East, and Leah Hayes. What a party!
Speaking of parties: on Saturday 10 July, Corrupt Autopilot will be playing their first show as a band, with Dima leading some of the above characters through a set of songs. Not only is it a birthday party (Dima turns 30!), and a record release party, but it’s also a benefit show for tattoo artist and friend Matty No Times. Matty had to get a new liver, but had no health insurance and is now paying for it, so we’re all helping out. Come on out, click the poster below for more info:

We booked the whole night at Sidewalk Cafe to perform acoustic sets. Dima (Mother of Three) will be playing his solo material as Corrupt Autopilot, then joined by comedic and conspiratorial powerhouse Greg Barris as Wigmaker's Son. Yazan (Mother of Three) will be playing songs he wrote while living in the Californian desert. Jesse Adelman (The Telephones) is joining us for an acoustic set, followed by new friends New Beard, who will likely be playing as a full band, tuba and all. No cover!
