Link to the Show / Show NotesFormed nearly 15 years ago at Chico State in Northern California, The Mother Hips have seen it all, and there are already two documentaries about them-Stories We Could Tell and This Is The Sound-to prove it. They've gone from dorm band to buzz band to cult favorite; they've taken a truckload of drugs and then kicked their habits; they've played with everyone from Wilco to Johnny Cash. Back together for this new release in 2007, they exhibit their strengths as a cohesive band who enjoy playing together. "Kiss The Crystal Flake" is an extremely strong showing for a group who's been together for this long.
