I MOTHER EARTH With EDWIN
20 Years of Scenery and Fish
.
When I Mother Earth ended their 8 Year Hiatus in March of 2012 they did so by putting a countdown clock on their website that expired just in time for the band to perform 2 sold out shows at Toronto’s Sound Academy. This time the band is turning the clock backwards... 20 years back to be exact, by reuniting with the bands with original vocalist Edwin to celebrate the 20th anniversary of critically acclaimed multi Platinum album Scenery and Fish Scenery and Fish.

“We really wanted Edwin involved in revisiting Scenery and Fish this year, and we knew that some of the ideas we had would naturally benefit from having input from the people who were involved in our world at that specific time,” said band co-founder and guitarist Jag Tanna. “I initially reached out to Edwin just to see if he had any interest in being involved in a ‘Making Of...’ documentary. Well, the concept grew and here we are. This is really special for us. We haven’t performed together in 18 years, so this will be fun for the fans that have supported us since the beginning “

Scenery and Fish was a benchmark release for IME. The album spawned 4 Top 10 Hits in Canada with “Raspberry”, “Another Sunday”, “Used to be Alright”, and “One More Astronaut”. Recorded at the legendary Le Studio in Quebec and Co Produced by Paul Northfield of RUSH fame, Scenery and Fish is a deep and diverse release record that really solidified the lasting relationship with the fans and the band. The success of the singles was great for their growth but the feel of the band in tracks like “Earth Sky and C”, or “Shortcut to Moncton”, and the special appearance by Alex Lifeson of RUSH on “LIKE a GIRL” plus staying true to their own unique heavy dynamic sound with “Pisser” and “Songburst and Delirium” deepened the love affair with the fans. Now, 20 Years later that feeling can be revisited by both fan and band.

“We are really looking forward about this exciting journey to revisit an amazing time in our IME history,” says Christian Tanna, co-founder and drummer. “This will be a huge rush. We really can’t wait to share this with our fans!”


The Standstills

The Standstills compose a story being brought down to its core, stripped of all inessentials, and rendered art. Like rugged, spare, soulful prose, their craft is Hemingway meets John Lee Hooker, overdriven.
