Bio

Mother Mooch are a five piece Fuzz Rock band from Dublin, Ireland.

Taking their name from a misheard Black Sabbath lyric and their inspiration from a wide range of rock and punk acts from the 70s, through grunge, alternative and desert/stoner rock right up to the current heavy psych scene: Mother Mooch is the amalgam of each member’s eclectic music tastes combined to form something uniquely their own.

After spending several years honing their line up, sound and live show, Mother Mooch shifted gears in 2015, taking their first steps into Ireland’s festival scene with performances at Canalaphonic, KnockanStockan and a storming set at Electric Picnic’s Oxjam Stage. They have shared stages with the cream of the Irish rock underground such as New Secret Weapon, Electric Taurus, The Witch Trials and Wild Rocket as well as more mainstream acts like Sinead White, Jem Mitchell and Featuring X. They have also twice supported former Kyuss/QotSA bassist Nick Oliveri’s solo show.

Since the release of their EP/Demo “Preludes” in March 2015, the band have been attracting fans from around the globe through their extensive use of social media. In July 2015, esteemed underground website Doomed&Stoned.com selected Mother Mooch’s song “Into The Water” for inclusion on their compilation album “The Enchanter’s Ball”, which highlights the rise of female fronted heavy rock bands from around the world.

Their fully self produced debut album "Nocturnes", recorded, mixed and mastered by Gary Duncan in Red Lake Sound Studios, Portlaoise was released on Friday 13th November 2015 and launched in a packed Whelan’s upstairs venue on Saturday 14th November. Songs from the album have to date been featured on In Colour and Shadowplay on RTE 2XM, Dublin City FM's The Mosh Pit, Cranium Titanium Metal Show on Galway's Flirt FM, U.S. College Radio, Germany's The Wicked Lady Show on Grip of Delusion Radio as well as online radio shows in Ireland, U.S., U.K., Greece and Argentina, and has spread through the European stoner/heavy psych community featuring on websites, blogs and youtube channels originating in Portugal, Greece, Netherlands, Germany, Sweden, U.S. and U.K.

Mother Mooch will release a high quality video for their track "Hive Mind" in early 2016, followed by a vinyl release of 'Nocturnes' and European shows later in the year. Their song "Misery Hill" has been selected for inclusion on the forthcoming Irish Metal Archives 5th Anniversary Album.
