from Seattle. First of the next 3 shows. Portland from here via walla walla.

Just got back from a walk over to the venue in light snow. Pretty fired up to see the guys.

How about a bump from anyone else attending.

THE MOTHER HIPS ANNOUNCE NEW ALBUM

"PACIFIC DUST" TO BE RELEASED OCTOBER 27TH, 2009

NEW RECORD MIXES PURE AMERICANA STORYTELLING WITH PSYCHEDELIC

POWER POP

BAND ANNOUNCES FALL TOUR DATES

The Mother Hips have flown under the radar as true indie music pioneers for almost

two decades. With the release of their new album Pacific Dust (available October 27th

on Camera Records), California's unsung psych-pop heroes tell their story. Hailed by

critics for their "rootsy mix of 70s rock and power pop" (pitchfork.com) and for their

unflinching ability to "sing it sweet and play it dirty" (New Yorker), on Pacific Dust The

Hips' signature sound rings more genuine and relevant than ever before.

The Hips - led by co-founders Tim Bluhm (vocals/guitar) and Greg Loiacono

(guitar/vocals) - have been playing music for nearly 18 years, and in the process, have

had the luxury of exploring and refining their craft. For the band's seventh full-length

studio album, The Mother Hips have never been more primed to share their welltraveled

tales - the long days and nights on the road, the gritty politics, the smart inward

reflections and man, the music! - all delivered with a most appealing balance of

Americana storytelling and their California-burnished rock.

Pacific Dust's compositions about penning a song in your kitchen at 3:00 am (the

thundering album opener "White Falcon Fuzz"), record company politics (garage-rock

boogie "Third Floor Story"), and a father and son's relationship through music (on the

ballad "Young Charles Ives") indeed tell the story of many American rock bands. But

here's why it matters: The Mother Hips have survived, and in fact thrived, throughout

the journey - and Pacific Dust, with its bittersweet melodies, poignant lyrics, and strong

and gritty musicianship, is a perfect example of why.

The Mother Hips owe most of their success to their large and loyal fanbase. Earlier

releases such as Part-Timer Goes Full, Green Hills of Earth, and Red Tandy have

become almost cult classics among indie music buffs, and the band's most recent 2007

album, Kiss the Crystal Flake, offered proof that the band still continues to attract new

supporters. Over the years, the band has worked with and played alongside a slew of

renowned/respected colleagues including super-producer Rick Rubin, Wilco, Johnny

Cash, and many others.

Today, armed with their newest release Pacific Dust, The Hips are poised to take their

experience and talent to another level for this next leg of their already epic journey.
