This is music for MOMS not
KIDS! |
Independently, all across the U.S. and beyond, "Mom Bands" have
emerged with increasing visibility over the past 2-3 years. These are bands
which either have specific "motherhood" oriented themes in their music, or have
band leaders and members who specifically bring their identity as mothers to the
forefront of their public image as musicians, rather than a separate or hidden
part of who they are.
The rise of mom-bands runs parallel to the wave of
woman-oriented and mother-oriented books, magazines, and online media such as
"The Mommy Myth", "HipMama", and Salon.com's "Mothers Who Think" as well as
programming on the Lifetime and Oxygen TV networks and ABC's smash hit
"Desperate Housewives".
The mom-band movement also gets support from the
surge of attention to younger female musicians, ranging from interest in
all-girl bands such as "The Donna's" to the "Rock and Roll Camp for Girls" and
the meteoric rise of Daisy Rock guitars.
Adding fuel to the fire is the
new Mamapalooza festival of mother musicians and artists, first started in NYC
and now moving nationwide...
