Mama, the UK’s all era Genesis tribute band release new promo video online!
Thanks for visiting our website. We thought we would update you on the latest news after our Easter break. Happy Easter!
Today we’ve got an all new video for you. This is Mama, performing Mama, at The Hub in Bacup. It will feature in our new live DVD / Blu-ray Disc release which we are still working on (we are about half way through the video and audio work). The audio was recently mixed by our very own John W and we hope you enjoy it.
Sheffield show beckons!
Don’t forget, if you’re in the Sheffield area and want to catch the band live, we will be performing our show at the O2 Academy, Sheffield, on the 26th April 2014. That’s six days from now! You can purchase tickets for the show on the O2 Academy website.
Mama, the UK’s all era Genesis tribute band are now working on the edit for the live video shoot!
We’ve got some news updates for you. First out of the bag is a quick reminder about our next show. The band will be performing their 2014 tour show at The O2 Academy Sheffield in just under five weeks from today. Here’s the full details:
Get your tickets as soon as you can because the O2 Academy venues tend to do quite well on ticket sales. What’s more, we’ve noticed a recent trend in the last year or so where our audience mostly buys tickets up front rather than pay on the door. So there is always a risk on missing out if you don’t buy early. You can buy tickets from The O2 Academy website.
Mama Show Review – The Box, Crewe
The latest edition of The Waiting Room Online has been published. We got permission to reproduce their latest review of one of our shows. We were originally going to publish a few snippets from the review and direct you to their website to read it in full, but there doesn’t seem to be a way to link to a specific page on their website, so we’ve resorted to publishing the review in full. Do head over to The Waiting Room Online to support them. They’re a great source of Genesis and Genesis related news on the web. View full article »
Mama, the UK’s all era Genesis tribute band to perform at Legends of Rock and Fisher Theatre (Bungay) this weekend!
Okay we’ve now recovered from our weekend away to Stoney Stanton. Thanks to everyone who made the trip to see us. It was much appreciated.
Onwards and upwards, this weekend is a big one. First we have our slot at Legends of Rock in Great Yarmouth. The band will be on stage at approximately 2.50pm until 4.00pm on Friday. We think the event is pretty much sold out now, but if you’re desperate for tickets, we would suggest you head over to the Legends of Rock website and see if you can sweet talk them into selling you some.
Fisher Theatre, Bungay
On Saturday, we return to the fabulous Fisher Theatre in the sleepy village of Bungay, which is a great place to relax after a rock festival like Legends of Rock. We’ll be running our newly upgraded light show at this gig so expect to be dazzled quite literally. You can buy tickets for the Fisher Theatre show from their website.
Digital Streaming & Distribution of Mama Content
We’ve got a new desk recording to share with you. This is Mama, performing Mama at a Mama show in Grimsby a couple of weeks ago. You can listen to it on SoundCloud:
You can also listen to it on BandCamp:
The BandCamp player should in theory allow you to download the track so that you can put it on your iPod, iPhone or other digital device and listen to it whenever you like. We’re still experimenting with some digital streaming and distribution systems.
We hope to see some of you at Fisher Theatre this weekend coming and thanks for listening to our latest desk recordings. Feel free to leave a comment below and if you’re not already, please subscribe to our email newsletter on the right hand side so that we can let you know when we are performing a show in your area.
Mama, the UK’s all era Genesis tribute band performs Dodo / Lurker through the unblinking eye of the DrumCam.
First things first, we’d like to remind you that our next show is at Yardbirds Rock Club in Grimsby on Saturday 22nd February. Tickets are selling fast for this show so if you want one, get in touch with the box office and reserve one. You can contact the box office on 07771 520 374.
DrumCam Mania
This break between shows is giving us itchy fingers, so we thought we’d share a new video with you. At our last show, we had our GoPro Hero camera strapped to the back lighting truss on stage and we realised this makes a great little DrumCam. Not many people get to see what goes on behind the drum kit in this much detail, so we thought we’d share it with you.
Here’s James performing the whole of Dodo / Lurker at The Roundhouse, in Bolton:
You can also watch this video on YouTube if you prefer.
The Email Newsletter
We’ve been busy switching our current email newsletter systems over to MailChimp because this gives us a lot more functionality and helps us to protect your personal details even more, from the unsavoury people who would try and steal them. The switch to MailChimp was largely a manual exercise so there is every chance that we missed the occasional email address or got a name wrong. If you notice such things, it’s probably our fault. Sorry!
If you enjoyed our Dodo / Lurker DrumCam special above, then you can also watch another DrumCam video featuring James performing his Drum Solo followed by the whole of Los Endos, on our Exclusive Content page. The page is password protected (otherwise, it wouldn’t be exclusive would it?) but if you’re already subscribed to our email newsletter then you know the password. If you want the password, simply sign up using the form below and you will be watching our DrumCam again in moments!
The Hub – Video Shoot & Raising Money For Charity
Those of you who came to our big video shoot back in December at The Hub in Bacup will no doubt be dying to see the video coming together. Well, we’re still working on that along with the audio recording to go with it. The release of the DVD and Blu-ray Disc will probably be towards the middle of March. We’re trying to take our time with it to get the best possible product we can from our five cameras. You may also remember that we were collecting money for charity at the show so we are very happy to tell you that we raised a total of £208.53 for Mediquip 4 Kids, so give yourselves a round of applause.
That’s if for now. Put Grimsby in your diary and then leave us a comment below to let us know what you thought of the DrumCam video and any suggestions of where you’d like to see the camera positioned at the next show.

First Show of 2014
Our first show of 2014 took place at The Limelight Theatre in Aylesbury this past weekend and what a show it was! We had a great audience, the room had good acoustics and our light show worked really well after the upgrades we have made over the winter. Lot’s of positive comments were shared with the audience in the bar after the show and late on the band found a takeaway that had a teeny tiny restaurant in the back so we could stuff our faces with kebab, pizza and other worldly delights. Finally, the Holiday Inn proved to be a very comfortable hotel that, despite being built on a flood plain, didn’t flood. That was a bonus because it rained all weekend wherever we were in the UK!
Sound Desk Recording
So, to celebrate our show in Aylesbury, we’ve decided to share a short recording of Domino which was recorded straight out of the sound desk on the night. Well, we say short but Domino isn’t that short is it? Have a listen and see what you think: View full article »
