Dirty Martini sounds like a band formed by the three weirdest girls in your high school English class while everyone else was at the prom. You can imagine them in a basement writing their spooky songs about shanghaied sailors, sudden floods, boozy float parade princesses, blinding lust, and other disasters while the other kids slow-danced under tin foil stars.
Of course, Lara Michell, Stephanie Schneiderman, and McKinley are not high school girls, but there's something about their odd stories and dark harmonies that makes you feel like you're intruding into the private world of best friends. The big choruses and catchy melodies they write, though, let you know that youre welcome.
They were steaming ahead with their solo music careers when they met and began to write and perform together. These shows were so satisfying for them and their combined audience, that the momentum pushed Lara, Stephanie, and McKinley into recording a live CD in 2004, and now a studio CD Tea and Revenge.
Tea and Revenge is damp with Portland rain, smells like old accordion, and is packed with secrets and a little venom. There is enough sweet guitar and simple melody to get your guard down, but watch for the punch in the stomach.
Tea and Revenge will be released in September 2006.
