Mothership Announce First Live Shows in More Than Two Years
The last tour I have listed for make-you-believe Dallas heavy rock trio Mothership was a Fall 2022 stint that began Nov. 2, 2022, and included stops at Doomed and Stoned in Wisconsin and Snowblind Festival in Georgia. If you look at the band’s social media, there’s a jump between “Thanks Snowblind” and earlier this year, when it was announced that guitarist Kelley Juett would release his first solo album through Glory or Death Records. Not only were Mothership a flagship act for Ripple Music who helped define the course of American heavy rock in the 2010s, a staple of the live circuit able to turn any set into a gauntlet thrown down to other bands on the bill — a high standard of performance set, offered with plenty of flash but no pretense; in many ways an ideal — and a studio progression chartable across their three-to-date LPs. Last I saw them was Psycho Las Vegas in 2022 (review here), and they still ruled.
So their coming back for a two-thirds-Texan weekender is something I take as good news. Tickets are on sale now — I kind of pieced the below together from different posts with the ticket links — and whatever this leads to as I know brothers Kelley and Kyle Juett are both involved in other projects here and there, some of them involving touring, it’s good to know Mothership will get in a little more ass-kicking before 2024 is done. Note that the announcement of the three dates is before they cross that two-year mark, but the shows themselves, in December, will be past it. I wonder how long that is compared to the band’s experience of the pandemic shutdown? If I had more time, I could probably chase that down with tour posters and a bit of math. Alas.
Dates and info follow. They’ll be out with Crobot:
