A friend once said, "Martha and the Muffins." Another friend said, "Liz Phair before she sold out."
Pantsuit are Nan Turner (Schwervon!), Christine "Sharky" Murray (Bionic Finger), and Tina Harris (Danger! Giant Ranger & Imaginary Numbers). In 2003, Sharky asked Nan if she was going to start a band for her solo material. She said "If I did, would you be in it?" They had to talk quietly, as Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers was about to start. It was their second time seeing it. They soon cornered Tina, who is also an anthropologist, into jamming with them at Tucasa, and the minute Tina finished hitting the drums and left the room, Nan said, "I like her". Sharky said, "Me too".
The gang of three began. Pantsuit, in its first year of existence, has moved from "Nan's solo project band" to more of a collaborative affair with instrument swapping and harmonies and keyboard soundscapes. They have released one cd, entitled The Path from the House to the Lawn. They are in the process of recording a new EP at Olive Juice studios.
Their first album, The Path from the House to the Lawn, is available for $10 at Olive Juice Music (www.olivejuicemusic.com)

pantsuit? PANTsuit? Edward's wearing a pantsuit right now. Any gigs coming up in Lhasa? Edward wants to warm up the crowd. Let Edward warm up the crowd. Please? He'll pay his own airfare. He's very light, so should cost very little in fuel.
I love pantsuit. Listened to your CD the other day and thought what lovely people you are!! Miss you Nan!! Come back here and party with us! love sabine xx
