Momma
Brooklyn-based Momma announce their debut UK shows and release their anthemic new single Rockstar and share accompanying video directed by LA-based duo Batshit! (filmmakers Ben Joyner & Henry Drayton)
led by singers/guitarists Allegra Weingarten and Etta Friedman, Rockstar follows previous track Medicine released in November last year and the first to be shared from their new label Lucky Number. Commenting on the latest single Weingarten explains: “Etta and I wanted to write a song about making it big, and becoming rock stars. We didn’t want to take anything too seriously, lyrically, or musically. We just wanted the song to sound big, We thought it would be cool to have our own little rockumentary condensed in a 3-minute music video. It’s also kind of like a manifestation - I think we shamelessly want all of these things to happen in our careers.”
Momma also announce their first UK dates, with the band headlining London’s Brixton Windmill on Tuesday 10th May and Manchester’s Yes on Saturday 14th May while opening for Illuminati Hotties in Leeds on Friday 6th May. They will also be supporting both Wet Leg and Snail Mail on a run of dates in the US with additional UK shows alongside further news on their upcoming album, soon.
