about

The band that answered the question no one was asking - what would the Stooges sound like if they were fronted by 70s gameshow host Larry Grayson?

On 31 January 2020, the people of Ipswich found out, as Earth Mother Fucker performed a show that would catapult their skeletal sexagenarian frontman to fame, as the unlikely face of Independent Venue Week 2020.

This album captures that IVW show in its entirety, in glorious mid-fi, mixed from the live stems by Michael Chesters. Opening the set with a one-off Brexit lament, the band delivered four noise rock anthems from their 90s heyday, a post-punk tribute to Ipswich grime pioneers Hectic Squad, and a diversion into hick town horror with a Southern Gothic narrative penned by Flannery O'Connor.

It was the night the band announced the retirement of their signature tune, I Fuck Therefore I Am, in protest against an unexpected and slightly dubious consequence of Brexit. This move resonated with the national Independent Venue Week team, who selected I Fuck... as one of the top nine live performances of 2020, including it on the IVW 2020 LP, with Sleaford Mods and Anna Calvi.

But fans have clamoured for more and we have heard them. We are delighted to release the entire performance on CD for the first time.
