<b>Mother Mother</b> is pleased to announce they will be hitting the road this March with
<b>Awolnation</b>. Their newest album, <b><i>The Sticks</i></b>, will be available in the U.S. on

</i></b>Mother Mother is already a beloved Canadian act, with top 20 alternative radio singles, Juno nominations, and sold out shows across their homeland. But it is with
<i>The Sticks</i> that Canada’s best kept secret is poised for international success. Recorded during the winter of 2012 in Mother Mother’s hometown of Vancouver,
<i>The Sticks</i> was co-produced by the group’s own frontman/principle songwriter
<b>Ryan Guldemond</b> and producer/engineer <b>Ben Kaplan</b> (Shakira, Mudvayne, Gallows). Featuring the multi-talented line up of Guldemond (vocals/guitar),
<b>Molly Guldemond</b> (vocals/synth), <b>Jasmin Parkin</b> (vocals/keys), <b>Jeremy Page</b> (bass/horns) and
<b>Ali Siadat</b> (percussion/electronics), the album upholds Mother Mother’s tri-harmony vocal arrangements and dynamic instrumentation, while making for the group’s most eclectic and richest album to date.<b><i><br>
