2011 was a big year for Vancouver's Mother Mother, their third album Eureka gave the world my favorite Mother Mother track, “The Stand.” The band followed up Eureka with another solid release, The Sticks. When it came time to chat about The Sticks, MM‘s frontman Ryan Guldemond chose to meet me at Cafe Deux Soleils, Commercial Drive's legendary vegetarian eatery / coffee house / slam poetry space / live venue. It turns out, Ryan has a history with Cafe Deux Soleils. Listen to our chat to find out all the details. One thing I love about Ryan is that he never minces words, which always makes for a lively conversation. Tracks played on the show... 1) Mother Mother Eureka “The Stand” 2) Mother Mother The Sticks “Bit By Bit” 3) Mother Mother The Sticks “Let's Fall in Love” 4) Mother Mother The Sticks “Happy” ALL songs CANCON
