 The
Mother Hips hail from Northern California. During their 12-year career
the band toured mainly
along the West Coast
with few trips further east than Idaho or Utah. This recording captures
The Hips during one of their rare visits East of the Mississippi, in
the the city of Chicago. Their lack of touring the mid-west resulted
in the band and their music being relatively uknown to many in the area.
As a result, and expectedly, there weren't that many people at the show.
You can hear evidence of this between tracks. One of the most admirable
qualities of The Mother Hips was their unwillingness to give anything
less than 100% at any show regardless of attendence. This recording
demonstrates that quality with flying colors. The band rips through
a set of old and new songs from their 12-year catalogue of rock songs
and ballads in front of a fortunate Chicago audience. This recording
was multi-tracked and later mastered to CD, and is now offered only
here. Enjoy.
