#MotherMother Old Days post # 9: MM went through a time period, maybe 2015-ish, where they played a slowed down and moodier version of Hayloft in their live sets, a temporary departure from the high energy version of today. Can't imagine them going back to that, but it was a neat little experiment.

Rest in Peace to my oldest boy, Edwin, who made it to 2 and a half. He was an adorable rex and an "uppies" enthusiast, always going up on two legs to help be picked up. #petrats #fancyrats #ratties

#MotherMother Old Days post # 8: The MM team ran a contest during the Sticks tour where each week one fan who attended the tour could win a copy of the original Mother album. We were floored at how generous this was.

Hey Roger, don't be alarmed, but that rock is moving. And it has a tail. #petrats #fancyrats #ratties #ratsky #ratsofbluesky

#MotherMother Old Days post # 7: I remember when MM would play Body of Years by itself, with no cover in the middle. It used to be their finale song around 2011. Perfect - I'd always pictured them starting their set with OMH and ending with Body of Years, and at my first show they did just that!

Old man Edwin is a master of eye contact, even while drinking or eating. #petrats #fancyrats #ratties #ratsky #rattiesofbluesky

#MotherMother Old Days post # 6: Set lists used to be handwritten and subject to change. The band took requests at shows I've been to, in the main set. This was years and years before the VIP pre-show was a thing.

Yes, this particular set list has "Drum Solo" on it. Ali was/is incredible.

Met my first camel yesterday, in a suburban strip mall, of all places. 🐪

Sadly, my elderly "old soul" heart rat, Hansel, crossed the rainbow bridge yesterday with humane assistance from our vet. He was 2 1/2 years old.

Hansel was a former bad boy turned smooshy love, thanks to the power of neutering. He loved treats and total chaos. #fancyrats #petrats #ratties

#MotherMother Old Days post # 5: For a while after MySpace, Twitter was the best way to interact with MM members and fans alike. This was approx between 2010-2015. I've long left my Twitter account to rot, but I had saved this screenshot a while back due to the hilarious typo (mercy table! 😂)

Forever one of my favorite photos of brothers Edwin and Otis. Hugging? Wrestling? All of the above? #petrats #ratties #fancyrats

#MotherMother Old Days post # 4: At my first 6 or so shows, the venues were intimate and the crowds were small. The band would finish their set and announce that they'd be around to meet fans after, and then they'd take the shortest of breaks and just get out there and mingle with fans.

Totally miss hugging and holding this absolute unit. He was so massive, he was practically a Guinea pig. 😂 #petrats #ratties #fancyrats

Needed to get out of the US for the weekend with everything going on here. International travel will keep me afloat. 🇨🇦✈️

#MotherMother Old Days post # 3: MM would occasionally interact with fans on MySpace, but the main way to get your questions answered was via a form on their official website in the O My Heart (2008) days. I wrote in and asked about Ryan's songwriting process and got an answer from the band.

Celebrating our 19 year anniversary today. ❤️

I often joke that I'm so glad someone has tolerated me for this long, but the truth is that we chose each other, and we continue to choose each other and actively put work into our relationship every day. There's nothing I'm more grateful for. 💓
