Secret Studio presents The Mommyheads with special guest Adam Newman

  • This event has passed.

To their loyal fans, some of which often follow them to catch multiple gigs, The Mommyheads have it all: impeccable songwriting, inventive arrangements, thought-provoking lyrics, and a level of musicianship that makes even the most intricate time signatures seem easy. They are the kind of band who can learn a song by King Crimson, Genesis, or Supertramp during soundcheck, and make the audience think it’s probably one of their own deep cuts.

The 90’s saw the Mommyheads touring with a who’s who of classic bands such as Train , Dandy Warhols , Lisa Loeb , Robyn Hitchcock , Alex Chilton , The Jayhawks , Cake , Red House Painters , Ween , SuperChunk and Crowded House to name just a few

The Mommyheads move effortlessly between indie, power pop, nods to the British new wave era of the early 80’s, classic rock and prog – sometimes within the space of one song.

In a fast-moving media climate where few people take the time to really digest music like they used to, there’s still something to be said for music that actually grows on you with repeated listens. The Mommyheads’ songs do.

“Adam Elk and Michael Holt are two of the best songwriters currently active”
