Some stuff some people say:

"A Midtown Dickens show is a front-porch parade, gallivanting from off-the-cuff humor to unexpected poignancy, both exuding the same best-friend intimacy." --Bryan Reed, The Independent Weekly

“Lo-fi the Dickens may well be, but name an instrument from banjo to piano, trombone to bass, and these Dickens can play it. . . .Like precocious kids, they’ll shoot out a lyric that just makes your jaw drop. Toss in poppy melodies, some sing-along choruses, and a bucket-load of fun, and this duo will indeed have you yelling for more (4.5 stars).” --Jo-Ann Greene, AllMusic.com

“Midtown Dickens are truly one of the treasures of the Triangle music scene; even the Durham metalheads know & freely acknowledge this fact.” --Ross Gradytrianglerock.com and WXDU

"I am quite sure they could pull out tunes out of a stone." --Carlos Anaconda, Nonalignment Pact

“They touch youin a special way that makes you feel like you are witnessing a moment that defines the spirit of creation and connectivity." --The Knowbodies

YAY!

YAY FOR RECORDS!!!



We are a multi-tasking, DIY, folk punk-grass gaggle of best friends that’s been fitting itself into nonsensical categories since 1982. We've played with artists like Kimya Dawson, Bitch and the Exciting Conclusion, Tilly & the Wall, Old time Relijun and The Bower Birds at lots of rad venues including CBGB’s in New York and SXSW in Austin.

Yay ongoing tour!!!!

Woot!

thanks for killin' it at Eno. if only those darn Scots had sticked to the schedule, we could've had more Midtown. I guess having 3 sets isn't enough for those dudes. i've got the whole set in HD and it sounds pretty nice. now i just need to figure out how to transfer and upload.
