#118 - Momma (Allegra & Etta)

Whenever Allegra Weingarten was asked by friends and family to
send music she always responded by telling them to wait for
Momma’s new music. She knew the music she was creating with her
best friend and bandmate, Etta Friedman, was some of their best
work yet. They put in over a year of crafting and carefully
creating the songs that will appear on “Household name” which is
set to be released on July 1. Etta, who can be her own worst
critic at times, admits that she is finally excited about showing
her own personal music.


 


There is a big shift for this record. The pair went from writing
music out of Yerington, Nevada, where Friedman has family, to the
bright lights of New York City. Last record was a record that had
small town vibes, but also had a message of having the freedom to
travel wherever and whenever. This opened the doors to the idea
of being overnight sensations. Although the two Momma members are
modest when they talk about their growth, calling it slow and
steady over the past several years, there’s no doubt that the two
have made a tremendous leap. They recently played in the UK with
Wet Leg, which was their first time playing over seasons. Their
listeners have made a huge jump since the release of “Medicine”
in November. Their music was even noticed by Pete Wentz of Fall
Out Boy and Louise Post of Veruca Salt. Momma still has several
goals to check off on a list they made several years ago, but
they are on the right track—there’s a reason they have a song
called rockstar. Allegra can finally show the songs that she has
been talking about for so long. On July 1 their hard work will
finally pay off. Check out the band below!
