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!

Out now: Corrupt Autopilot – Greetings from Ghost Country

Friday, July 9th, 2010

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:

Mother of Three shows and jams

Lots of news from Mother of Three:

1. Next show is Thurs 1 Oct at Lit Lounge in New York. Full details here. It’s another birthday show — this time Yazan turns 30 and Jonas turns 29, and no higher authority is going to stop us this time. It’s our first show since Feb (our July show was canceled), and will be among our last for the year, so come on out!

2. Mother of Three has started releasing select cuts from their massive library of rehearsal recordings. These recordings are almost completely improvised, and recorded live in a single room with a single stereo mic. It’s raw and unfinished stuff, mostly instrumental, but the choice bits we’re making available are just too nasty not to be heard.

You can download it at: http://music.motherofthree.info/album/jams-2009, or listen here:

3. Mother of Three is part of the Pure Volume CMJ Showcase at Collective Hardware. We’ll be playing a set (with awesome bands Lavalier and Bowery Riots) on Fri 23 Oct at Collective Hardware, and then we’ll be the backing band for the CMJ edition of the Heart of Darkness comedy show, featuring Reggie Watts, Dave Hill, David Cope, and of course Mike O’ Rourke and Greg Barris. Check out Dima’s sweet poster:
