MOTHER HUBBARD

 

By 1989 there were a bunch of great bands which made up a wave of indie rock that had actually grown up and lived in Balmain, mostly attending the local Balmain and Fort Street High Schools and most of these bands existed in some form into the 1990s. The evolution and success of these bands increased ten-fold in the early part of that decade. One of those bands being Mother Hubbard in particular, had emerged from the local school halls and had started to make some impact on the wider world of Sydney. Mother Hubbard enjoyed label success through Festival and Outlaw Records – all with high rotation airplay on Triple J throughout the early half of the 90s. Their sound was akin to a Black Crowes/Rolling Stones sing along – a full 10 years before the likes of Jet claimed it as their own, and again after a string of great singles and one album 'You Me She Him' produced by American guitar legend Louie Shelton. The band toured tirelessly until the band amicably split in 1998. Alex Lloyd would go on and carve out a successful solo career.
