   About my imaginary friends
Photobucket
"Given Armstrong's impassioned talent and her band's flawless performance, it is not hard to fall for her." -Aaron Levy, The Charleston Post and Courier

Moving to L.A. alone from South Carolina in 2005, Erin Armstrong brought along her Southern upbringing. Her blues roots, jazz education and appreciation for indie rock followed. Erin's good friend, Ben Fordham, eventually did too and joined My Imaginary Friends on violin, mandolin, guitar, and vocals. Rounded out by Grant Lovelace and Yohei Shikano on slide guitar, harmonica, Hammond organ, and electric guitar, My Imaginary Friends might seem like an alt-country or piano-pop band, but these descriptions may be defied with each listen or live show. From the full-throttle blues-based drive of "Sue Thrasher" to the upbeat and dreamy "Hello Miss McGinty", auditory and genre-bending surprises delight.

"It's Armstrong's heart-felt attachment to her music that makes it so special." -Jackie Miehls, Performer Magazine

Erin: "I grew up listening to such great indie rock that came out of the Chapel Hill boom," she says. "It was all bands, and that really appealed to me. It wasn't just making music and trying to get your name out there and be rich and famous but actually having a family that you could rely on, and you made music together because it made everyone happy."

A 100% DIY approach while at times painful continues to propel this family forward as true ownership of their passion is retained; each note, each song, each record, a beloved child.

"'E Hemingway' changed my life. Seriously. Thanks." -Skott, Descend

I woke up today to a room that didn't really feel like home, A day that just doesn't seem all that great, so I came here and listened to E Hemingway. It always seems to set me to right when I'm just not that well off. Thank you. Staying in the good fight. Your fan ~Skott J. From Ca.

Take care.

Happy birthday! I tried to put a picture of a puppy on here but your site won't let me use html so you'll have to just imagine a Golden Retriever saying happy birthday.

or, you can see it here: http://bugobugo.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/puppy_cake_by_masakichan51.jpg

I don't know- do you think she really hung out in the shower? Was it that wet? Maybe she spilled her water bowl?

Hey Erin, for some reason Myspace won't let me reply to any messages. It's happened in the last week or so. Do you have any other band website where I can send my address in a message?

Hi MIF,

Just wanted to write you a little note to let you know how much I enjoyed watching your band play for the past year. You are all so incredibly talented and I play your songs for anyone who will sit still long enough. Give me a holler if you're ever in the UK.

thanks,

So Kell and I went to see Elvis and The Sugarcanes last night at the Greek, and i couldn't help thinking how you really should've opened the show. Maybe, like next month it'll happen...

Oh yeah! Well, I was going to check with Bubby about coming to visit the weekend of September 25-27. My friend Tiffany thinks she can drive down with me that weekend but I wanted to see if we could go out with you and Jonathan that Saturday night in your hood (and celebrate an early birthday for you!). Think you guys would be free then?
