Mother/Father Facebook Page

So today we launched the official website, but yesterday we launched the Mother/Father Facebook page. So for those that prefer Facebook over the other social sites, we’re now on the Facebook platform too, giving us more places to share ideas, participate in the discussion, post interesting stuff, etc with you.

Jump over The Mother/Father Facebook Page right now so you can become a fan, start a discussion, and post some content. If you have some Mother/Father photos you’ve taken at previous shows, post them!

See you on Facebook.

The Official Mother/Father Website Is Finally Here

Friday, July 31st, 2009

Welcome to the brand new official Mother/Father website. It’s taken us a little while to dream this up and put this together, but we’ve finally managed to roll out what we intend to be the official home base on the web for the band. We appreciate Jeff Schuette at Elemint for lending his expertise in brainstorming, designing, coding, and launching this project.

Some of you may be subscribers to Light/Thieves, the monthly Mother/Father email newsletter. If so you’re probably familiar with how we conduct things as far as authoring blog posts, emails, and other general discussions online goes. But for those that aren’t familiar with our approach, I’ll go through it here:

You of course expect to hear directly from the four members of the band (James, Willie, Matt, and Dave). Each band member intends to publish plenty of blog posts, sharing ideas, joining in discussions, etc with you. But there will also be a significant amount of time when you will be hearing from stinson, and some of the other members of the management equation (like right now). We feel it’s important to disclose this, so that when someone outside the four members of the band posts content here, you won’t be confused about what’s going on. We don’t want you to feel like we’re misrepresenting ourselves to you. Just know that if it’s not James, Willie, Matt, or Dave posting, then it’s someone that has something to do with the management team. We’ll also always let you know who is chiming in every time we make a post, just so we’re extra efficient. And when someone who you have never heard from before posts something, we’ll try to make a proper introduction.

So hopefully that’s all clear. If it’s not, feel free to leave a comment with any questions, concerns, ideas, suggestions, thoughts, etc. You can also hit the Contact page and tell us about it.

Once again, welcome to the new home on the web for Mother/Father. We’re glad to have you around, and hope you like the site. Take a look around and let us know what you think. We’ve already got some ideas for more content/features to build into the site. Make sure you’re both subscribed to the RSS feed for this blog (click the little button in the address bar of your browser), and signed up for Light/Thieves, our newsletter. This way you’re the first to know about our new developments as they happen, as well as being able to grab any special promotions we may do exclusively through these two channels.

Stay tuned. Back with more news in just a matter of moments…
