Mother Hips
By All Music Guide
Formed in Chico, CA, in 1991, earthy pop jam rockers the Mother Hips moved up from bar band status through a series of regional tours and built a sizable fan base in California. Songwriter, vocalist, and guitarist Tim Bluhm, guitarist Greg Loiacono, bassist Isaac Parsons, and drummer Mike Wofchuck met in the dorms of Chico State in the early 90s. Loiacono and Bluhms harmonies and country-tinged melodies honored Californias musical past -- from Merle Haggard to the Beach Boys to Neil Young. Their 1992 album, entitled Back to the Grotto, caught the ear of American Recordings who released 1995s Part-Timer Goes Full and 1996s Shootout. This relationship led to high-profile slots on tours with Johnny Cash, Wilco, and the H.O.R.D.E. tour. Drummer Wofchuck was replaced by John Hofer for 1998s country-rock Later Days. Three years later, the band released the more pop oriented Green Hills of Earth. As soon as the album gained notoriety, singer/guitarist Greg Loiacono decided to take a break from the group, leaving the bands status in question. In 2005, Bluhm, Loiacono, Hofer and new bassist Paul Hoaglin resumed playing music and released the Red Tandy EP on Camera Records. ~ Zac Johnson
