Influences
The eclectic, intelligent and under-appreciated songwriting of Mark Szabo. The true rock and roll stylings of Mark Kleiner. The garage-soul-jazz of the BSESQ. The whip smart sparkle of the New Pornographers. The prodigious talent of Daniel Bejar. The DIY girly sass of Maow. The classic pop sensibility of Zumpano. The beat behind Copyright that also plays a kick-ass guitar solo. The indie-rock petri dish that is Vancouver.
Now available in Canada through the fine (and very, very good looking) folks at Scratch Records! Also on iTunes, but only in the US. Sorry super-nerds, no vinyl yet...but we've been throwing our pennies, nickels and dimes into a jar and we've got about 18 bucks saved up just for that.
Hey I just heard the Phoning it in stream... Simply Awesome!! My wife and I love your voice... But singing Szabo? with occasional Bejar?? Our heads explode with the thought of all that talent together at the same time! please keep up the amazing job...
Useless fact # 436 for May 1st: The Chuck E. Cheese franchise was created by Atari, a restaurant combining robotic animals and arcade games with family meals.
'Cause nothing says family... like robots and Ms. Pac Man.
Hiya Marcy, how the heck are you doing? It's been a while since we last met - at one of the last local The Gay shows if I remember correctly - and I hope that things are happening alright for you! Have you ever seriously considered creative writing or journalism as a profession before? You seem to have a real knack for story telling! Gosh, you oughta drop by K.P.'s place for a P.P.V. sometime. I'm trying to talk him into showing the Oscar De La Hoya vs. Floyd Mayweather event on May 5. Maybe you oughta come. Hopefully Coco and Cathy will also be in attendance. Well, maybe we'll run into each other again sometime soon Marcy... Keep on rockin in the free world! :)
i love what you have done, if only i could hear it! it won't upload...
no seriously, drop some off at Red Cat...
i. must. hear. it.
xoxo

PS - awesome show the other night!
It should be mentioned that the catheter under Mr. Balogh's "natty suit" was draining a pleural effusion in his ribcage following a near-fatal bout with pneumonia, and not the variety of catheter commonly associated with incontinence. Thank you.
Oh my god.. I'm mad, I'd pay just about anything to see your show but stupid me had to move to Ireland.. Im sure you'll do awesomely though, have fun and keep being a great musician in a world of crappy "get crunk" music.....
( by the way, if you sent me a tape of the show, I'd love you forever and owe you a whole lot!!!!! but I know thats impossible)
