OK PEOPLE... LET ME TELL YOU WHAT IS GOING DOWN!!!
KITTY, STEVEN AND MICHAEL HOLT of MwM HAVE A NEW HARD ROCKIN' BAND CALLED "DEAD IN THE WEST". DAVE AND MIKE FRANKLIN of MwM HAVE A NEW BAND with FRANKIE PERRONE CALLED "SCI-FI WESTERN". See a theme here? YOU CAN CHECK OUT BOTH BANDS IN OUR TOP 40 as well as the other bands we are in. We all have a hell of a lot of bands, work, love, and life going down and it looks like MwM fell by the way side for now. We have had a very good run, but this was one of the many side projects we all do. The members of the band play with many others and There Is Just Not Enough Time In The Year to Keep All Our Balls In The Air. Something had to fall. You never know what will happen for MwM in the future, but for now this lineup have moved on. We love you all and bid an tearful thanks to all the amazing people we have met along the way. Just to dive it home... We are not gone just splintered. Now you can see all your faves just with a little different lineup. Support Local Music. GO SEE A BAND.
We leave you now, not with a heavy heart, but with our eyes on the open road and our hand on the wheel. We will be making a lot of music together but separate. Apart but together. Ride along and keep abreast of all our endeavors. You never know what we will be getting in to next. -DWolfe
PS...... We are working on putting out the 2008 Halloween Show at The Continental Club with Laika and The Cosmonauts' Last Show Ever, and High Noon's 20th Anniversary. Check back to see if anything ever become of it.

Last night you were unhinged. You were like some desperate howling animal. You frightened me.... Do it again!
OK! This is the story behind the name. Play the Cramps Video above and you will unlock the secrets of our weird ass name. Not To Mysteries. Yes... We were named by the King himself. -DWolfe
Bob Dylan... He is the Ultimate Midwest Monster!!!
"Musick has Charms to sooth a savage Breast,
To soften Rocks, or bend a knotted Oak.
I've read, that things inanimate have mov'd,
And, as with living Souls, have been inform'd,
By Magick Numbers and persuasive Sound.
What then am I? Am I more senseless grown
Than Trees, or Flint? O force of constant Woe!
'Tis not in Harmony to calm my Griefs.
Anselmo sleeps, and is at Peace; last Night
The silent Tomb receiv'd the good Old King;
He and his Sorrows now are safely lodg'd
Within its cold, but hospitable Bosom.
Why am not I at Peace?" -- The phrase was coined by William Congreve, in The mourning bride, 1697:
"Come, sleep, O sleep! the certain knot of peace, The baiting-place of wit, the balm of woe; The poor man's wealth, the prisoner's release, The impartial judge between the high and low." - SIR PHILIP SIDNEY
"YES, YES and Fuckin' YES!!! THIS is why God and Les Paul invented the electric guitar! It is always nice ta make friends with those who get it!" - Trick-Toons
"I was born Feb. 12, 1809, in Hardin County, Kentucky. My parents were both born in Virginia, of undistinguished families--second families, perhaps I should say. My mother, who died in my tenth year, was of a family of the name of Hanks.... My father ... removed from Kentucky to the Midwest... Indiana, in my eighth year.... It was a wild region, with many bears and other wild animals still in the woods. There I grew up.... Of course when I came of age I did not know much. Still somehow, I could read, write, and cipher ... but that was all." -Abraham Lincoln
Sleep, little slices of death. O how I loathe them...
