Biography
Ever since their formation in 1989, the Helsinki and Porvoo Finland-based three-piece Mother Goose have been churning their hybrid of dream pop and thick, distorted guitars. With this sound appearing on several albums, EPs and compilation albums, the lineup of Zelig Concrete (vocals/guitar), Eija (bass/vocals), and Jussi (drums) released their debut full-length, Too Many Tintins, through Blast First Records in 1994. Following comparisons to the likes of My Bloody Valentine, the Fall, and Sonic Youth. They have recorded albums for a number of labels, such as Blast First and Seriously Groovy in the UK and Verdura Records, If Society, Lamplite Ltd. and Temporary Music in Finland.

Ja suomeksi:
Mother Goose on kryptinen 30-vuotias sähkökitaratrio Suomesta, joka sai 15-minuutin maineensa 1990-luvun alun Nirvana-buumissa, kun levy-yhtiöt maailmalla kilpailivat asiansa osaavista kitarabändeistä, meistäkin. Oli kivaa, keikkailtiin, tehtiin levyjä ja ei koskaan lopetettu. Monta luovaa uusiutuvaa vaihetta on ollut matkalla. Hauskaa on ollut ja kurjaakin, mutta musan tekeminen huipputyyppien kanssa on aina ollut meille mahtavinta ja palkitsevaa. Kanavoimme musikkiimme toivon ja kauneuden asioiden lisäksi myös vääriä ääniä. Mother Goose ei ole sosiaalinen peli, olemme kaunis selviytymistarina.
