Caught The Mother Hips at Schuba’s last week. I am was tired, slammed at work, and too old to be out on a school night, but I couldn’t pass up a chance to see the Hips in Chicago. It’s a rare treat. They made it more than worth my while, mixing tracks from the recent release, Kiss The Crystal Flake, and all their previous efforts including a stellar “Hey Emilie” and “Del Mar Station.” Tim and Greg still have it.

They are also touring now, so I'd check out their schedule and see if they'll be in your town. I met Tim a couple months ago at our first live session and he's a super nice guy.

Pretty good but I must respectfully disagree --- doesn't rock enough, and the harmonizing is not as good as previous albums. For Hips fans I think its exciting to hear a large number of new songs that haven't been heard before in concert but most a disappointment---best song on the album time sick son of a grizzly bear which of course has been heard by hips followers before. Best of the rest : confirmation of love, white hills, and white headphones. I like Mission in Vain as per above but the song just loses me in the middle and goes seems to go on forever--it could use a good ole hips space jam at the end I think Just got the album in the mail have listened to it 3 times already.

I think this is their strongest effort to date and Mission in Vain is a great opener. I love the first line, "The purpose of my mission was to see the ocean" and then the chorus, "Why does time keep movin' on so quickly? Why can't I distinguish dusk from dawn?" Great guitar solos and so well written. That song is perfect. I couldn’t agree more. I think this is their strongest effort to date and Mission in Vain is a great opener.
