MOMMA Live at The George Tavern

[@robharris3635]

My favorite band. Not 1 bad song. I'm a Gen Xer. This would fit right in in 1993. I'm glad another generation is making high quality music

[@soowoo2246]

They’re so good, you’re comment is right on the money as I know they’ve said nirvana is one of their major influences

[@peterhughes614]

Same here. Born in 86 and this band just does it for me.

[@nickfarrow9032]

100%. I'm a xennial and they're my favourite band :)

[@playboyjudas]

Literally just discovered them a few days ago and they’ve quickly been added to my heavy rotation. Incidentally also a gen xer 😂

[@casicadaminuto1]

This is probably the best Momma live footage available on KZbin as of now. Excellent performance and great sound. Thank you for this!

[@LouSmith]

🙏 🙏🙏

[@SuperTakkino]

Agree. I was there 3-4 people behind the stage and arguably the audio here is more balanced. Thank you Lou!

[@LouSmith]

@SuperTakkino thanks guys. Yeah, the sound was recorded as a multi track and professionally mixed, so sounds pretty decent.

[@elmerkruys1491]

Wow, absolutely awesome sound quality. This could be easily be released as a live album!! Thanks so much for uploading this

[@LouSmith]

The sound was professionally recorded and mixed, so yes, it could certainly be mastered into a live album. 🙏

[@HANKUS]

@@LouSmith i think this sounds amazing! i'm curious, if someone were to master it into a live album how would it differ? There's nothing I can hear that "needs improvement" in the mix

[@andrewpernice1262]

Veruca salt with a little Smashing Pumpkins tone and Liz Phair esque vibe. Totally dig it. Brought me right back to college in the 90's

[@FlameFlickers]

The quality is amazing. You did a great job recording, well done.

[@lois9228]

no way i was the girl stood right next to you!!!!! thank you so much for recording this, this was my favourite gig of the year and it’s great to have it immortalised like this :D

[@LouSmith]

Whee! Christmas came early for you then. Almost a POV memory with great band and sound. 🙂

[@johnnysunrise]

My heart is at peace after hearing this version of Biohazard. Looking forward to 'Derby' and 'Habitat' Luv Momma

[@batemanlife]

Damn, I'll be there for the next tour. Thank you for this. Love seeing the smiles in the band, you can tell they get on well and it sounds amazing

[@tomekwiraszka7312]

Lovely, fresh sound to brighten the winter darkness

[@LouSmith]

🌤️🌤️🌤️

[@theworstvow]

Yo. Thanks a ton for uploading this gem! The audio quality is crisp as hell, really brings out the raw energy of the track. Gotta say, Momma fucking rocks - they're absolutely killing it here.

[@LouSmith]

Thanks. The crisp audio is courtesy of the sound engineer who recorded and mixed the audio for me. I wish I had that for all the video I shoot, but it’s nearly impossible to achieve in reality. This was a rare (for me) paid gig where their engineer (also paid) came up with the goods. As I don’t typically get paid for any of the work I do to bring you this content, I can’t offer incentives for people to record, mix and submit the sound recordings. The only exceptions are when a band member also has the skills and time to do it for me, their incentive being the improved output to help promote their music. Often a black hole appears whenever I am given an assurance that the audio is being taken care of, only to find that’s not the case upon request.

[@SuperTakkino]

@@LouSmith Thanks for this anecdote. That explains why the lows aren't bloated / distorted! As so many smaller amplified gigs are mired by bad sound engineering, the actual night restored my faith 😆A nice memento of the night!

[@LouSmith]

@SuperTakkino yeah. It was a great night. They weren’t really in my radar before I was invited to come and film this. I’m glad I did. It’s been a good fit for my channel, and people are really appreciating being able to watch, so win-win. 🙂

[@HANKUS]

@@LouSmith I've had really good results using a Zoom H-6 for recording several gigs. You toss it somewhere and it will record a good XY of the place. You can even get the mixer to feed you an XLR/Aux out. Depends on the relation/size of the show.... it won't be this level good, but does much better than a phone/camera and gets low end

[@SamTonkin]

Last Kiss is my favourite of the 3 new songs. So good.

[@chaoticfirearm]

This new record is gonna be AOTY.

[@LouSmith]

It’s a strong claim!

[@analoglee]

Last Kiss is great ! Woo new song !

[@jadw33]

I'm looking forward to seeing y'all in Atanta this Spring!!! 🙂

[@LouSmith]

Can't wait!

[@Kevwa51]

If we could have twice as many bands like this as we do pop stars we’d be doing alright. You guys are awesome, glad your generation is restoring my faith in original artists. Now if you could tour with Hannah Jadagu and Slow Pulp with a venue somewhere in NY, PA, or Vermont I’d be forever grateful.

[@RockIvan99]

Greetins from Argentina! Hope they visit us one day.

[@BulldogFront]

These kids are great on a big stage. BFFFest was killer. And apparently the drummer had a good time there too! That shirt. ❤

[@domsmith1964]

That last kiss song is a BANGER!!!!!!

[@xavierturlot3041]

Can't wait for Last Kiss to be released ❤

[@mikegraz7797]

Amazing quality! Love this band…

[@LouSmith]

🙏💜

[@soowoo2246]

Need to see them live

[@hudiidudyduiru]

i hope they make a music video for the new song they performed.

[@alexmajors565]

I love this band and that they're getting more exposure! Well deserved and can't wait for the new album!!!

[@aah_124]

Double Dare should be part of every set.

[@Jake-w5c]

Kick ass band 🤘🤘

[@LouSmith]

🤘🤘🤘

[@valouckc1466]

Merci Lou Smith pour cette belle découverte & bonne année

[@LouSmith]

Happy new year. Glad you like my discoveries.

[@yamama-b4r]

i’ve been listening to them for about 5 years and never knew the vocalists changed depending on the song lol i’d love to see them live one day

[@LouSmith]

Happy to be the vector of that nugget of information. 😊

[@churchgir1]

i love them so much

[@LouSmith]

💜💜💜

[@NicolasGarciaLanza]

Love you Mommas!

[@j2thebee]

I was here! Great to see the upload I was just to the left near the front

[@LouSmith]

Woo! Now you get to watch it from the other side of the stage!

[@rbbnfest]

❤❤

[@tomdulski3729]

Awesome!!!!!!

[@SteveMicAndTheHoldTights]

Damn Momma. brings this old Portland Gen X'er back to the heroin soaked days 1993! You're music smells like the boozy, cigarette smoke laden club Satyricon from back in the day. Well done capturing the spirit of our generations music.

[@LouSmith]

Haha. Excellent piece of time travelling. Glad to have been able to bring it to you.

[@cammac7440]

Biohazard sounds so good🫠

[@jhnny1895]

Wow I just know this band today.

[@gummyboy3]

Awesome video of this Momma show Lou! Thanks for sharing. I love this band so much and can't wait for the next album to drop. From the new songs they've played here and while opening for Girl in Red, this is going to be an amazing follow up to Household Name. 2025 hasn't even started yet, but let's just say it's going to be the album of the year already!

[@doufdoufie6151]

Yes, yes, yes

[@LouSmith]

Affirmative!

[@nickfreeman4746]

Household Name shouldve been a modern classic.

[@luckynumber6664]

Momma’s medicine 💊

[@analoglee]

These songs are so ciseled and catchy, sometimes I wish they would lean more into kraut rock style improv and adlib.

[@LouSmith]

Well, you’ve put it out there!

[@eze6982]

No Callin Me? 💔

[@tomdulski3729]

guitar technique is definitely improving

[@FlameFlickers]

Improving??! Allegra's an extremely talented guitarist. I'd put money on it that you wouldn't have posted that comment if they were guys.

[@Saylorleatherjecket]

🤟🤟🤟🫨

[@JIMB76]

Stepney London?

[@LouSmith]

Yup. Shadwell. Great venue, intimate after their Ally Pally headline.

[@JIMB76]

@ I grew up just down the road.

[@LouSmith]

It’s stood the test of time against unprecedented change in the locale.

[@nickfreeman4746]

Bang Bang has some Garbage vibes to it.
