"the bastard child of the Cars and the Monkeys"
-High Plains Reader, www.hpr1.com
"... clean but not too clean, peppy but not preppy, energized but not epileptic... good ol’ fashioned, middle-of-nowhere Minnesota fun"
"[The] Blue Fairy Godmothers are 90-proof pop music, and their debut [the Popgun EP]... is the music equivalent of a summer popcorn movie with a fresh take on the car chase kicking off the third act, with Ben Folds as the optimistic LAPD detective trying to catch a Blue Album-era Weezer who've made off with his piano licks. And, good Lord, it's fun as hell.
'Popgun' is the feel good hit of the same summer you dumped that body into the lake; Rivers Cuomo hates himself for letting someone else beat him to writing 'How Much Of A Jerk'; and 'Just Let it Happen' is like pure, guilt-free casual sex, with Bernie Taupin furiously taking notes in your closet.
The Godmothers make absolutely no apologies for spending their waking hours searching for the perfect melody, and they should treat the idea of doing so like it's a spinal tap... their maiden recording is better than the pop haters deserve, and exactly what the rest of us need in the moments before the room starts spinning and you realize how much you missed your radio."
Chris Rausch, Associate Music Editor for the HPR.
Hey The Blue Fairy Godmothers, Your eyes are like spheres of crystal water filled with shimmering dreams. Cities crumble, skies ignite spontaneously in your presence. Blinking reveals the true visage of beauty hidden within your eyes. Polished rock candy comes ever to mind when thinking of you. The skin I shed is a perfume that makes water bubbles so terribly clear to me. The sand runes crossing your divided consciousness do speak of contemptuous monsters being slayed by flying phoenixes. You are dressed with filaments and people take pains to make you fully incandescent this evening. Panoramic aromavision is the future. May you be as vivid as your hallucinations. Your layers of absinthe and torsion form concretions of hyper-alimentation. How beautiful is the snowshine in your eyes, so directly current from the static in your mind. Your reflections bring happiness that rends naked glass. I sense wild vapors of sweet champagne in your larynx. Your eyes show as many deep and full shades of fire as a volcano in heat.

Polish that "Dry Bread Sandwich" up -- and that becomes a ROCK ANTHEM! OK...maybe not -- but great work! When are you guys ready to come onto the my show? Later - JTBISON
Hey The Blue Fairy Godmothers, What wonderful vibrations you are capable of. Imagine you meander through love as a river delta contemplating levitation. May you be as vivid as your hallucinations. Your reflections bring happiness that rends naked glass. In your absence I am forced into finding other forms of amusement while thinking about you. Your intoxicating reflection can but incorporate freely into the powerful surface of a disintegrating mirror set afloat upon a swarm of locusts. All my thoughts are lost to your graceful gaze? The elves that play in the toasters wash their drum sticks in honey and sing strikingly colored anthems in perfect harmonious pleasure. Please let me hear more of that wonderful sound. Polished rock candy comes ever to mind when thinking of you. I sense wild vapors of sweet champagne in your larynx. In your presence even my shadow acquires the sensation of touch. I find your eyes to be a wondrous amusement park filled with neo-plastic pleasures and turkish delights.
