   About MOTHERSHIP:

   MOTHERSHIP’s stout sound delivers an amped-up take on ’70’s heavy rock fury, laced with electrifying psychedelics and space rock elements. The group formed in 2010 when brothers Kyle and Kelley Juett decided to start a new band with their father John Juett on drums. In 2011, Judge Smith would assume drum duties and the trio began to hone its heavy, blues-based sound by performing live at every opportunity. Non-stop road warriors, MOTHERSHIP has risen to headliner status in 2016 and is the go-to opener for D-Town’s national touring shows, having shared the stage with Slayer, Alice in Chains, Ghost, Baroness and more in the last twelve months alone. The band was named Dallas’Best Metal Act at the 2016 Dallas Observer Music Awards, earning the honor amidst a strong group of contenders that included True Widow and Pinkish Black.

In additional news, Baltimore’s Oliver Brewing Company has just released a limited edition “Crown of Lies” double IPA in tribute to MOTHERSHIP. For more details, visit this location.

 “They won Best Metal Band at the 2016 Dallas Observer Music Awards. They’ve scored a sponsored tour that will take them across the U.S. and Europe. These are the results of an impressive three-year rise from their formative days in the “Hangar,” the band’s nickname for the stonewalled rehearsal space that molded their fiery rock sound. The new album scheduled for release on March 17 will play a heavy part of their long tour that adds eight new songs of their interstellar infused heavy rock to their stage show” – DALLAS OBSERVER

   “With a name like MOTHERSHIP, you’d expect this group of heshers to hail from NASA’s longstanding home base in Houston, not Dallas, Texas…high-energy stoner metal” – BLABBERMOUTH

“Mothership is a band out of time. Its influences range from Black Sabbath to Motörhead to ZZ Top. Its album covers are classic throwbacks; the one for the upcoming LP, High Strangeness, features lions, nebulas, and scantily clad women. Mothership is old-school even as the bandmates look forward.” – MIAMI NEW TIMES
