At the request of the original thread author, we've removed the original thread about Mama Mayhem.

This thread though will now be for announcement of news from Mama Mayhem's upcoming Mini Tour of the States, and discussions of that.

Please note: This is just for discussion and information pertaining to the Tour and Group, and any news of Simone on that. Please do not push for personal information here or privately, since we or others wouldn't want to offend someone by not being able to provide it! Thank you.

So - onto the information:

Mama Mayhem will be playing the Whisky a Go Go November 8th, 2007 in Hollywood, California.

You can buy tickets to the Whisky show at Mama Mayhem's official MySpace page: http://www.myspace.com/mamamayhemmusic

Their official website will be up and running sometime next week: http://www.mama-mayhem.com

There are only 48 pre-sale tickets left, so get yours while you still can. Their latest EP is for sale on Itunes. T-shirts will be available in the coming weeks.

Check out our dedicated page on SL Net for Mama Mayhem for all details and news as we get it.

I listened to the band’s music on YouTube. It is pretty good. I love the name of the band. I am curious about how they came up with it. I thought the term mama was used primarily here in the American south. How common is it in Scotland?

Mama isn't really used much in Scotland, Ashley71. We do have a lot of Italian restaurants here with names such as "Mama mia" so it may have been influenced by Italian.

However I seem to remember that there was a song from The Simpsons with the words Mama mayhem in the chorus. I've just googled it .... song is called "God Bless The Child" and is a remake of the Billie Holiday song. The lyrics seem to differ between sites so am not so sure now! Anyway was just a thought! :)

Hi Cass, I feel relatively safe in saying you're thinking of the line

Mama may have, Papa may have
(but god bless the child that's got his own)...

Nothing about Mayhem in the song, although god knows what the Simpson's did with it of course, I didn't see that ep! :) --e

Thanks ekny!

That was the line I was thinking of. Actually I think I've probably just misheard the words .... but judging by some of the lyrics on the web I don't think I was the only one!! Don't know if it was an actual Simpsons episode or not - my nephew was playing one of their albums non-stop a few weeks back which was why I remembered it.

Hi Cass! Thanks for the info. I didn’t think I had ever heard it used by any Scot I have listened to on TV or the internet. I wasn’t sure though if that word is just a part of the huge influence Scotland has had on the south especially North Carolina, the state I am from. I just read on the internet today that North Carolina has more citizens of Scottish ancestry than any other state or nation on Earth including Scotland. Incredible if true. The way Simone comes across in interviews reminds me of plenty of North Carolinians I know. Nice and down to earth but strong and feisty. Are these common characteristics of Scottish people? Maybe that is where we got it! :D

Update:

If you are thinking of going to the show - there are less than 30 pre-sale tickets left to the Whisky show! They are going fast.

What is the possibility the band will go other places in the US besides LA?

At the moment this is all the information we've got. We'll hopefully announce more in the next few days as contracts are signed and information finalized.

The Band have just become finalists in the top 15 at Street Scene. They need some votes to win though!

A direct link to the song is:

We need people to play the song and leave comments!

Here is the site: http://www.streetscene.imeem.com/

The band will put a video up of the song in a few days. The winner plays at the Coors Amphitheatre to a crowd of thousands with 60 well established bands like Muse, The Killers, Social Distortion, Panic at the Disco, etc.

Here is a list of the bands who will be playing there:

5th September 07


Mama Mayhem set to perform in New York for Fox 5's, Fearless Music TV Show.....

Fearless Music TV show is now available in 27 million households on US and Brazilian TV and their website gets more than a million hits a day. Fearless Music features established, as well as up-and-coming bands, performing live in their recording studio. Their format is very similar to the BBC’s Old Grey Whistle Test show from the 1970’s except without a studio audience.

Helen and I (no not Helen Stewart) have realized our schedule will allow us to go out to LA in November (when we originally didn't think we would be able to swing it).

Did anyone purchase Mama Mayhem tickets that now realize they can't go? Of course we would make it financially worth your time.

Please email me owh@wi.rr.com or private message

Thanks.

Update - My mistake, apparently there are still tickets available.

Looks like Simone's not going to be in L.A. after all.

We can confirm she won't be there - we were asked by AfterEllen to merely edit out that information but not actually put out that Simone wasn't going to be there until they posted the rest of the news on their site - so apologies because I hadn't realized they had done so. As some of you might be aware, MJN has been quite ill over the last month, so we've not been around online as much anyway so I missed seeing it.
