Jerome David Salinger was an American author, best known for his 1951 novel The Catcher in the Rye, as well as his reclusive nature. He followed Catcher with, Nine Stories and Franny and Zooey. Nine Stories, one of my favorite books as a teenager, injected ideas into my brain! And those ideas would make me question, “Why do people come to terms with the lives they live, when they really long for something completely opposite?” I guess its like the old saying goes, “You’ve made your bed, now lie in it” — or so we think. Salinger died of natural causes at his home in New Hampshire on January 27, 2010. He was 91. A representative believed that his death was not a painful one.

We’ve got a lot constant developments in the works, and today we would like to share with you the news of our next Nashville show, which we’re about a month away from (if you’re a subscriber to Light Thieves, our newsletter, then you already know about this).
Mother/Father will be playing with Kings Of Leon and White Lies at the Sommet Center when they come to Nashville.
If you’re already coming out to the show, go ahead and add yourself to the Facebook invite we put together. Make sure you get there early enough to catch the very special set the band is putting together just for this show. We want to make sure we get to connect with our hometown-and nearby-fans to share this important milestone.
To view full details of the show and to purchase tickets, click on over to the Tour Page, as some tickets may still be available through Ticketmaster, or the box office at the Sommet Center.
In the meantime, we’re continuing work on our next release. In between multiple tours this summer, we’ve been constantly working on a new batch of recordings. We’ve nailed down some mixing dates with Jacquire King (Kings Of Leon, Norah Jones, Tom Waits, Modest Mouse), and will be able to wrap up the project towards the end of this month.
We can’t put an official release date out quite yet, but stay tuned to this blog by subscribing to the RSS feed. Also, make sure you’re signed up for our newsletter, Light Thieves. The blog and newsletter are the most official and timely places to find out about Mother/Father developments as they happen.

We’ve all been trying to find time to drop in between all the developments that are keeping us busy at the moment. There is lots going on…
In any case, the band is back from their first, and successful, west coast tour. I was able to personally attend the Tucson, LA, and Seattle shows, and it was a blast! I can confidently say from a first person perspective that Mother/Father fans not only really enjoy music, but also outwardly express their appreciation for music in a way that is truly engaged. The energy at these shows was intense! You guys make it fun like it’s supposed to be.
Upon returning home there’s been no time to slow down. We’ve already gotten busy planning what’s next, starting with the first Mother/Father show in Nashville since playing last May with The Pains of Being Pure at Heart.
Friday, September 11th (that’s this Friday!) Mother/Father will take the stage with Luna Halo, Social Ghost, and Kink Ador. Full details for the show are on the tour page here: Mother/Father with Luna Halo.
Beyond this we’ve got more announcements we’ll post shortly-as soon as they’re more concrete (and if you do a little poking around, you may be able to jump the gun, and find some kind of exciting news). So make sure you’re signed up for The Light Thieves (our newsletter) and subscribed to the RSS feed for this blog, because we just may do some exclusive promos through these channels.

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.

btw–one more post coming in a moment…
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…
