Sounds Like
Stupid question, I mean, is this really a good question for anyone? Even if you do sound like someone else, what musician wants to admit it? But here goes... half the members from R.E.M., 1989ish era (you get to choose which ones) are out at a show and end up getting called on stage to play an encore with Bill Frisell, a guy who went to school with those two guys from Phish, The piano player from Velvet Underground, and Connor Oberst who just came back from a week at guitar camp and learned a truckload of weird jazz guitar chords. Does this sound a bit narcissistic? Stupid question.

Press Quotes
"The Grownup Noise not only deliver an outstanding performance, but know how to connect with their audience and remind you what it is like to be entertained!"
- Jaron Luksa, Production Manager: The Paradise Rock Club, Boston. Touring sound engineer for The Dresden Dolls
"Loaded with hooks upon hooks upon still more hook, this Beantown quartet delivers eclectic but impossibly catchy pop nuggets laced with poetic, thought-pro-voking lyricism." -Seven Days Paper, Burlington, VT.
"It is rare to see a show where every song holds its own distinct pleasure, but The Grownup Noise delivered just that." - Brandeis University Press
"They are, frankly, the kind of band REM could have been if they hadn't gotten so into themselves. This is a fine debut."
- Wildy's World.blogspot.com
"At home in both the rock club and the coffeehouse, the band also has this indie rock vibe that is, nonetheless, friendly, accessible, even earnest." - The Schenectady Gazette
“Musicianship gets you only so far. One has to be able to create good songs. So many bands forget this! Not The Grownup Noise."
-Pat Keating, Insite Magazine
Heeeeey guys, I'm doing well. Sorry, haven't got you back. Will email y'all soon. By the way, Naaaaaaice flyer!! I like it. The schedule looks great, too. I wish I was on that... Hope everything is going well with you. Have a great tour! Will join you later. Love,
Cool new flier. Woo hoo, nice tour schedule! Have a safe and wonderful trip. Knock 'em dead. I know you will. You guys are GRRRRRRRREAT! :) Love, Sky & Buck
There are a couple things you should know before we tour. A lot has changed since I moved to LA. For one, I wear my bluetooth ear piece at all times, even when I play. And I will be chewing gum and wearing a V-neck with aviators. O ya, and I attach a fan to my hi-hat stand, Also I need Acai Berry in all the green rooms and a place to do yoga. Also, I will be bringing a $150,000 crystal to put in the van to create positive energy. Are you guys cool with scientologists? I jell my hair as well
