San Francisco, CA: The Mother Hips are back with a new album, When We Disappear, a compelling new studio album. Based in Northern California, the Hips headed to New Mexico, spending time at Ghost Ranch before settling in at Jono Manson’s Kitchen Sink studio in Sante Fe in late 2021 for the sessions. Self-produced, When We Disappear features nine new tracks co-written by co-founders Tim Bluhm and Greg Loiacono — a collection of lit-psych rock songs Inspired by psychology and literature — as well as a raw, garagey cover of Buffy St. Marie’s 1964 addiction song “Codine.”

Hailed by the San Francisco Chronicle as “one of the Bay Area’s most beloved live outfits,” The Mother Hips’ headline and festival performances have became the stuff of legend, finding them sharing stages with everyone from Johnny Cash and Wilco to Lucinda Williams and The Black Crowes. Rolling Stone called the band “divinely inspired,” while Pitchfork praised their “rootsy mix of 70’s rock and power pop,” and The New Yorker lauded their ability to “sing it sweet and play it dirty.”

Hailing from Lyons, CO, the 89s would like to know that they are *not* an 80’s tribute band. Rather, they play well crafted original music, filtered through a long, scratchy lens of americana, indie rock and brit-pop.

The band consists of Eben Grace on guitar and vocals, Giselle Collazo on vocals and percussion, Joe Mazza on guitar and vocals, Brian Schey on bass and vocals, Eric Moon on keyboards and vocals, and Colin Mahoney on drums. They play Eben’s songs, who’s influences range from Elvis Costello, Tom Petty, Dylan, the Beatles to pretty much any other nice song that ever wiggled into his brain.

The 89s shows are uplifting and open-hearted and will have you dancing and listening at the same time.
