Mama Lion has been played on NTS in shows including Brown Acid Trippin' w/ Lance Barresi of Permanent Records, featured first on 29 January 2026. Songs played include Mr. Invitation.

Mama Lion was a group destined to show off the Joplinesque voice of Lynn Carey, a sculptural blonde beauty previously in Ivar Avenue Reunion. As often with the Merryweather outputs, the music is a rather loose mix of blues and rock. Their records are now mostly remembered for their sleeves, especially the first with Lynn Carey breastfeeding a lion cub

Mama Lion is also a modern group from San Francisco who's songs range from upbeat post-punk to beautiful melodic dirges. They've released one EP entitled "Gamble, Gamble, Die.".
