Now that we’re in the home stretch of the year (and thank the lord for that), it’s becoming increasingly obvious that Momma is our favorite new rock and roll discovery of 2022. In February we swooned over the Brooklyn duo’s roaring “Rockstar”, and broke more than a few traffic violations in the spring with their delectable ’90s alt-rock fuzzer called “Speeding 72”. Both tracks led up to the release of July album Household Name, which justified all those those Juliana Hatfield Three and Smashing Pumpkins comparisons. Now that Momma have wrapped up a bunch of dates opening for Snail Mail, a headlining tour begins tonight (September 12) at Brighton Music Hall in Allston before a Vermont date tomorrow at Higher Ground in Burlington. These shows, the start of a run that wraps next month in New York City, should only further the Momma mystique, and solidify their placement on everyone’s fast-approaching Best of ’22 lists. Hit Allston tonight and say you were there.
MOMMA + waveform* + DJ CARBO :: Monday, September 12 at Brighton Music Hall, 158 Brighton Ave. in Allston, MA :: 7 p.m., 18-plus, $15 :: Event info :: Advance ticket
