Brooklyn-based Momma have shared a new track, ‘Rockstar’.

“Etta and I wanted to write a song about making it big, and becoming rock stars. We didn’t want to take anything too seriously, lyrically, or musically. We just wanted the song to sound big,” explains the band’s Allegra Weingarten. 

“We thought it would be cool to have our own little rockumentary condensed in a 3-minute music video. It’s also kind of like a manifestation – I think we shamelessly want all of these things to happen in our careers.”

The track comes alongside a video directed by LA-based duo Batshit! (filmmakers Ben Joyner & Henry Drayton) that pays tribute to Friedman and Weingarten’s rock music comedy favourites like Josie and the Pussycats, School of Rock and Tenacious D in The Pick of Destiny.

The news comes as Momma also announce their first UK dates, part of a run of forthcoming shows that will see them supporting Wet Leg, Snail Mail and Illuminati Hotties.
