The Mother Hips' anthemic rock is punctuated by falsetto howls and soaring, multi-layered orchestration. Tempered by a fundamental NorCal style of experimental rawness, the band clearly includes record-store denizens, with references to the Byrds and Buffalo Springfield aplenty — but its reflective, forward-leaning melodies and harmonies transcend genre with ease. Known for ripping open cans of jam without falling prey to Tripping Billies silliness, it raises the roof at Schubas tonight, alongside the similarly minded New Monsoon.
