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!

Acoustic Sets by Yazan, Corrupt Autopilot, New Beard, Wigmaker’s Son, and Jesse Adelman

Shoulder Tap — Sat, 12 Jun 2010 17:24:58 +0000

On Thurs 17 June, Yazan and Dima (Mother of Three) are joined by friends Jesse Adelman (The Telephones), New Beard, and Greg Barris (Heart of Darkness, Wigmaker’s Son) for a night of acoustic songs at Sidewalk Cafe, home of the anti-folk scene. Not exactly our scene, but it’s a good room with great sound, and there’s no cover and reasonably priced booze. These aren’t gonna be your average strummy, yawn-y acoustic tunes — it’s gonna be a raucous night.

Dima will be playing as Corrupt Autopilot, debuting some songs from his upcoming LP Greetings from Ghost Country, while Yazan will be playing songs from his upcoming solo LP as well.

So, where were we?

Shoulder Tap — Wed, 24 Mar 2010 03:11:28 +0000

It’s 2010!

Actually it’s been that way for a few months now, but we’ve been too busy/isolated for updates. “What happened?” you ask. Let’s see:

Yazan was on a vision quest, cultivating thoughts and songs in the Californian desert. He’s back in New York now, and Mother of Three is gearing up for a few upcoming shows (more on that in a minute).
Dima has also been writing his songs, but getting ready for his big solo art show at Gallery AD in San Jose, CA. It opens at the beginning of April, so if you’re in the area, you should check it out and even maybe buy a supremely wise investment of a painting.
Jonas just got back from Hawaii!

Next show is going to be on Mar 30 at Comix in NY backing some of the Heart of Darkness crew: comedians Greg Barris and Yannis Pappas are headlining the show, along with NYC favorites Roger Hailes and the legendary Mike O’Rourke. Mother of Three will be warming the crowd up, as well as supporting the comedians and making sure the good jokes are even funnier and the bad jokes don’t crash silently. For more info, click: here.

Finally, Mother of Three will be playing a full on rock show with some friends: we’ll be playing at Bowery Electric in NY on April 21 with Research + Development, New Beard, and Lavalier. More info on that show soon!

Mother of Three at Piano’s for Dima’s Birthday

Shoulder Tap — Fri, 12 Jun 2009 18:40:02 +0000

Ahoy friends! It’s been quite a long minute since we last were accounted for, but we are here still and in good health, thanks for asking. Mother of Three has begun work on some new recordings for the upcoming full length, tentatively titled Jreambs. We’ve also been writing some brand new tunes, and it’s been a more collaborative effort than previously. More guitar solos and echo-y sounds, less of the same part over and over, and pretty much the same amount of cowbell as before.

(EDIT: This show was canceled) To hear some or all of these new creations, you can come on down to Piano’s on Friday 10 July to see Mother of Three play at around 1030PM. It’s Dima’s birthday that night — shit will be so hot you’ll burn your lips on it. The poster below is only an indication of things to come.
