Since the early '90s, West Coast rock stalwarts the Mother Hips have proven their durability, weathering label shake-ups, lineup changes, and hiatuses with grace, nurturing a hardcore grassroots following, and consistently honing their unique mix of California boogie, power pop, psych, Americana, and jam rock over the course of numerous acclaimed releases. From their early days on Rick Rubin's American Recordings and playing the H.O.R.D.E. tour to releasing independent standouts like 2001's Green Hills of Earth and 2009's Pacific Dust, the Hips have kept their footing and remained an ever-evolving creative force, even overcoming frontman Tim Bluhm's life-threatening 2015 skiing accident, to deliver strong new music on their 2018 comeback album, Chorus, and 2021's self-produced Glowing Lantern.
