YOUR MOTHER’S LOVER ROCKS WITH JUST TWO - BY N.L. BELARDES February 19, 2005 8:10 pm -
A chick on a guitar and dude on a drum set—stir in some punk roots and some Southland style. What else could you need? You can be gigantic with just that, and Your Mother’s Lover was as they played a short set at Gigantic clothing store on Friday night. They’re not messing around either; Sarah and Corey have got an 80s disco house sound revitalized into a Millennium-era punk that is so catchy you can’t help but hang out, listen and groove. Take a look at their site, their songs are getting tons of hits. I really don’t think they’re messing around here, folks. They’re a real deal on a serious path to take over a genre of music that is as long lasting as any other music era. Their talent was obvious too and clearly driven by the drum rhythms and grinding guitar. Missing persons, Ramones, Iggy Pop…it’s all in there. Corey’s look for the evening even seemed a little Bowie-esque as he played drums and little glowing buildings flashed on a screen behind him... I enjoyed their set and wished I had talked to them more after the show. I gave a quick introduction to Sarah and said, "I really enjoyed your music. It was so catchy. I loved it!" I should have bought a shirt... They've got to come back. Alex?
