march 29, 2004 - Back together for the first time in 40,000 years...Mother II!!!! Now featuring electrified instruments, updated websites, new mp3s, and the wheel! On a more serious note, our lawyers have informed us that in addition to dropping the whole 'Hunter-Gatherer' schtick, we should begin taking steps to show people that we are not dead. With that said, there are two NEW mp3s in the audio section recorded at the New Years show, thereby proving that we were not dead on New Years. The entire show has been edited, however if you'd like a copy that isn't recorded in pictographs in a French cave, you should probably e-mail us. So anyways, we as a band consisting entirely of living members, will probably be doing stuff in the not too distant future, and your job as a fan is clear: 1- Keep checking the site for updates, 2- Kill your parents and give us their sexy sexy moniesez, and 3- KEEP ROCKIN' LIKE IT'S 1898!

september 14, 2003 - We are playing a somewhat legitimate live show (yay). Not one of those impromptu backyard shows where we are all too wasted to play before the show. Chances are we'll just get wasted after the show. So if you would like the opportunity to come and get trashed with Mother II, the show will be free at Comptucky located at 3523 Washington St. in sceninc Riverside California (that's 92506 for all you mapquest users out there). The show, of course, is free...we'd feel like dicks actually charging you to endure us and the violent, fiery stage antics that usually accompany us when we play. There is a chance that there will be opening bands, but they are even flakier than we are, so I make no promises...besides, you are here to see us anyway...right? For more information about the show, contact Pouder at (909) - 333 - 3013. Be there or be square!
--Peace out young bloods, Sam.
August 11, 2003 - 'Sup yo, first off, I just wanna give some shouts out to ma dawgs in da pen! Wait a minute, I don't want to do that at all, as a matter of fact people in prison scare me... Anyway alot of things have been happening here at the mother II camp, first off we have formulated a brave new approach to financing our music, social lives (or lack thereof), and consumption of food-like substances...Panhandling! Recycling just wasn't able to cover gear, food, and hobo wine. On to more important matters, we have redone much of our demo, losing that "we're playing in a cave with toy instruments" charm, in favor of bringing out more of the subtleties of our "music." We are in the process of recording a studio demo which will be available whenever we feel like (we can say that, we're fucking rockstars). We should be doing a newsletter fairly soon, but that requires both your support, as well as a bottle of nighttrain express. Fucking support us already, we support you! You want the truth?! You can't handle the truth! Feed our egos or we'll rip out your eyes and vomit in your dead skulls! Toodles, --Sam
P.S. Once we actually start cashing in our plasma for strings and 9 volt batteries, we will hunt you down and kill you in the streets like animals, that is assuming you don't support us..and we don't want to have to do that..we love animals :) --Sam
july 25, 2003 - We got up our mp3.com site, which will slowly transition into the primary downloading location for outtakes, demos and random, sexy, sexy songcratt. Become familiar with this location, as it, and the message board are your destiny, young jedai. (If you tell me I spelled "jedi" wrong, you are a nerd and I hate you) - rahshad
july 17, 2003 - Despite the salsa, baby bird, and recycling shenanigans, we were actually able to conceive and record a new song. Fuck! I lied, it isn't actually a new song, so much as a cover that we trashed up in that distinctively mother II way, that only we, as mother II can pull off. The reason we can do such horrid things, is that we are, in fact mother II, and you, sadly, are not. Anyway, please download this song, because we've already been kicked out of El Pollo Loco, and so without your support, we will surely starve...oh yeah, it's called Boris The Spider, just so you know. -Sam
P.S. hssss...
july 15, 2003 - everyone must find themselves, and you must find the mother II message board. yes, for just two posts a day, you can feed (the egos of) three starving young musicians. register today and get a free pretentious remark straight from the small nation Mother-II-nada... free of cost - mark
july 13, 2003 - After you go to the audio section and download the new versions of North American and Trainpainter, you won't need any of this other crap!!! Put it on your flex pay!!! Oh yeah, by the way--GUESTBOOKFEVER--CATCHIT!!! All the cool kids are doing it. You do want to be cool... Don't you? - rahshad
july 11, 2003 - tray bien! I have successfully redesigned the website. some would stay I am still in the process... actually me because I know I am, the rest of the band went to the store, so i can always lie and say I finished it already. at any rate the audio section has been restructured and there is now a musings page. yes, much like that one band fronted by the terrifying conrad keely, mother II is not just a band ... it's an art project gone un-fo-givably awry! - mark "no middle name" marky
july 10, 2003 - We finished recording and mixing our preliminary demo-demo late last week, and now have them available for distribution. If you would like to recieve a copy, e-mail us at mother2band@hotmail.com or contact Rear Admiral Pouder by using the contact information located to the right. While you, the casual Mother II observer might thing that I am having a cool-ass rock and roll time right now as I update this wepage, I am actually sitting alone in my room listening to Steely Dan's Grammy Award winning 2000 effort, "Two Against Nature". I am actually pretty impressed by the album, even though some of the guitar solos lack the fire of the earlier works. Why, I am sure you would ask, would I be discussing a three year old jazz-pop album that no one on visiting this wesbite could possibly care about? That is a stupid question--I am trying to be quirky and irreverent but I obviously do not know what either of those words mean - rahshad
june 28, 2003 - do you like to be invited by friends to the beach? do you like salsa? do you like drinking the last tab cola in somebody elses refridgerator, then later succumbing to a brutal and malicious cancer that eats away at every fiber of your being until you breathe out a final, pathetic whisper to the one true love of your life, only to have her reject your final wish for one moment of sanctuary in an otherwise degrading and treachorous existence that ended because tab cola not only caused cancer in lab rats, but apparently you?
what? you don't?
ok, so you'll hate the brand new, shinier version of live until death, and a cover hero by neu, who is a band reknown for having invented everything back in 1908.
'08! - mark
