Hotel Utah Saloon, SF

Despite the cold, rainy weather, we had a great turnout at the Hotel Utah Saloon in SF. It was an honor to share the stage with Mr. Mime and Evolution Eden once again. Also rockin' out that night was Live Evil and Face on Straight. Thanks to all that came out!

Here is a video of Your Tattoos, captured up close and personal!

Another great night at the Rockit Room

We found ourselves at the Rockit Room in SF once more on Thursday evening, April 1st. Big thanks to John Enghauser for inviting us to play with his band and Frobeck. We had a great night at one of our favorite venues and couldn't have done it without our faithful friends and followers!

Oakland Running Festival a Huge Success!

The inaugural Oakland Running Festival was a big hit amongst the runners and the community of Oakland! Thousands of runners took to the streets to run the Marathon or Half Marathon on Sunday morning, and we were playing on the main stage to greet them as they came across the finish line!

Next year will be even bigger, and we hope to be a part of it again!

MHB at the Inaugural Oakland Running Festival!

Hey all, the MotherHumbuckers will be performing on the main stage of the Oakland Running Festival on Sunday March 28 from 10AM to Noon. Run fast, and you can catch the show! See you there!

Rocked it at Roosters!

Hey all, big thanks to everyone that came out to support our show at Rooster's Roadhouse on Saturday night! Thanks also to Bender, Plasterkatz, and Evolution Eden and all of their fans for making it an awesome night!

Rooster's is a hidden gem of a venue that offers great live music, dynamic stage lighting, and a great menu that includes lumpia! It was a pleasure to work with Joselyn and we will definitely be back to play there again.

Here is a video of one of our new songs, "Better Days". Enjoy!

MotherHumbuckers @ Rooster's Roadhouse in Alameda!

Hey all, we are putting on a show in Alameda! Many times we would play a show in SF on a weeknight, and anyone from the other side of the bridge would not want to come out due to logistical reasons. Well, here is a show just for you East Bay folk. It's on your side of the bridge, and it's on a Saturday night!

We've got some great SF favorites playing with us - Plasterkatz, Bender, and Evolution Eden! Hope to see you there!

Rock Against Leukemia was a great success!

Thanks to all of you that came out to support the fight against blood cancers! We had a great night of entertainment starting with Bender rocking out and ending with DJ Patrick getting the crowd on their feet and their hands in the air!

We played a set consisting of old favorites that are found on our current CD, and new tunes that will be on the next one. We had the entire upstairs venue of Beale St. packed wall to wall with positive energy and a good vibe flowing throughout the house. All in all, it was a great night to celebrate life!

Putting the FUN in fundraising

Hey Y'all! It's a great time of year, we are all gearing up for the holiday seasons, and it's a great time to give! Which brings us to our next subject! Our resident endurance athelete/lead guitarist Rocky is once again raising funds for the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society! Which means - Fundraising Gigs!

Stay tuned for dates/times/locations! In the meantime, please take a look at Rocky's fundraising page:

Rocky's Going Iron!

Happy Halloween!

We had a great night at the Red Devil Lounge! Thanks to all our peeps for coming out, and to the other bands that braved the roads despite the Bay Bridge closure! We did out best to dress for the occasion by wearing scary face makeup. Ollie and Martin were painted up like skulls, and Rocky had the classic vampire widow's peak. Jose wore the scariest black vest he could find. We probably didn't scare anyone since we ended up looking like Eddy Munster, kung fu panda, a crackhead raccoon, and Mr. Belvedere. But that didn't matter because we rocked our set as usual, and picked up a few new friends and fans along the way!

Thanks to Stefan of Mr. Mine for adding us to the bill, and for the staff at RDL for their hospitality. Thanks to Tib for doing a killer job on the sound board too. He's been doing sound for us at various clubs for a few years now, and always manages to get the perfect mix.

Now it's back to the studio to polish up a few new tunes, and we'll see you next time!

MHB at the Red Devil Lounge SF this Wednesday 10/28/09

Otherwise cover is $7.

We are hitting the stage at exactly 8PM! Hope to see you there!

Guitar Heroine

Hey 'Bucker Nation, we are fine tuning a few of our new songs and getting ready for some Autumn gigs! Stay tuned for details. We are currently in talks with some of the best venues in SF, and have a few great bands lined up to play with us.

As you can see, we love PRS guitars, and as soon as our endorsement with PRS actually happens (waddya say, Mr. Smith?), we will continue to drool and admire. Rocky's Custom 22 will keep us satisfied for now! PRS artist Orianthi will drop her new album on Oct. 1st, and we are expecting big things from this little lady from Perth, Australia.

Whether you are a Michael Jackson fan or not, you have most likely spotted Orianthi in the video footage from MJ's final rehearsal sessions. She also backed Carrie Underwood at this year's Grammys. We have been following her for years and it's great to see her getting the recognition she deserves. Check her out! Then check us out!

Woodshedding

Hey 'Bucker fans! You're probably wondering what we have been up to in the last couple of months. OK, maybe not since there are more pressing issues to attend to. But, we'll tell you anyway!

We've been hitting the studio working on new material and tightening up things. We've got 4 new tunes that we are currently rehearsing and polishing up for your listening pleasure. We are also experimenting with some different equipment in an effort to further shape our sound. We're hoping you will like what you hear at the next show. Speaking of which, we are planning a gig in October, so stay tuned and keep 'buckin!

RIP Les Paul

Today we lost one of the most important figures in the music world- Les Paul. He may not have been perceived as an icon, but his famous guitar design most assuredly is. The Gibson Les Paul guitar is, along with the Fender Stratocaster (RIP Leo), one of the most recognizeable instruments in any genre of music.

Les Paul was an inventor and innovator, creating many of the recording techniques that are still widely used to this day.

Burnin' the candle

Had a great night at Lennon Studios! We worked on two new songs and a potential third. We nabbed an early spot so we all got home in time for supper!

The first song is tentatively titled "Play The Fool" and is another riff-driven, hard rocking tune with a saucy wah-filled guitar solo. The second is yet to be named but starts out softly and features the brothers' subtle duet. As this song crescendos, heavy chunk is in abundance! The third is a funky, crunchy, groovy thing that may one day find itself as background music to an, um, 'artistic' film.

It was a good night!

RIP Michael Jackson

Farewell to the King of Pop. MJ has influenced artists of every genre. Including us.

MHB rehearse

After each show, for whatever reason, people often ask how we rehearse. How often, what songs, methods, etc. Well to answer that question, I'll just say that you can find us on any given night at one of the legendary rehearsal studios in SF. We load in, plug in, and indulge in exotic treats before we start the organized noise that we call music.

When we get the big rehearsal stage, it looks kinda like this:

RDL was a hit!

It's been almost a week since we played the Red Devil Lounge, and our heads are still spinning! The vibe was great, and our set went off without a hitch! Thanks to Mr. Mime and Evolution Eden for sharing the stage with us on this amazing night! Thanks also to Lisa, who performed her glow-in-the-dark hula hoop act during our set!

Big thanks to all that came out to support us and buy our CDs! We are currently working on new tunes and formulating our next gig, so stay tuned!

Red Devil Lounge!

We will be playing at another great San Francisco venue this June- The Red Devil Lounge!

Details to come, but we will be joined by our ol' friends Evolution Eden, Mr. Mime, and Zen Vendetta!

Stay Tuned!
