   About The Moaning Myrtles

Hi! We're Lauren and Nina, two best friends (not sisters) who make up The Moaning Myrtles, a piano-based wizard rock band from Hillsborough, NJ. The idea for the band was sparked in November 2005 when we saw Harry and the Potters play a live show and Lauren brought up how many new wizard rock bands had started. Jokingly, Nina suggested that they start a Moaning Myrtle band. Strangely enough, Myrtle was Lauren’s first choice of a character to base a band off of as well.

We started playing live shows as The Moaning Myrtles in the summer of 2006 and we were immediately hooked. Even those first local shows attracted a turnout of dressed up and enthusiastic Harry Potter fans. Since then, we have played alongside wizard rock bands such as The Remus Lupins, The Whomping Willows, Draco and the Malfoys, The Parselmouths, Ministry of Magic, and many others.



Since it seems like MySpace communication is slowing down and Facebook is more difficult to communicate with fans through, we're starting an email list. We'll send out newsletters when we add shows and when we release CDs or have other cool news having to do with The Moaning Myrtles! It won't fill up your inboxes either, I promise. You should join!

2007 WRPCA for Best Music Video (for "Sitting on the Toilet")
1963 Nobel Peace Prize
2007 and 2008 WRPCAs for Best Music Produced from Beyond the Grave
1995 Pulitzer Prize
2008 WRPCA for Best Duo
1973 Tony for Best Actress in a Musical
Jennifer Vineyard from MTV's 7th favorite wizard rock band.

You can buy any combination or quantity of our CDs, "What About Myrtle", "Toilet Humor", or Lauren's solo album "Devil's Snare" by clicking here!. Hard copies of the CD are $13 and they can be sent outside the US! They are also available on iTunes for $9.99 each.

If you need to contact us in any way, don’t worry because it’s really easy! Say hi with a comment or a MySpace message. If you’d like to book a show for us in your area, send us a MySpace message or email us at moaningmyrtles@yahoo.com. We love answering your questions, hearing your comments, and as long as you aren’t too far away we’d love to play a show at your local library, bookstore, school, or coffee shop. So definitely drop us a line!

We support the Harry Potter Alliance!!

Hi there,
I know It's kind of early but I wanted to make sure I get to everyone on my friends list because this is one of my favorite holidays of the year. I am a proud American and the 4th of July is a day to remember all those who have fought and are still fighting for our freedom. While we Sleep They Wake, While We enjoy our bbq's and swim in the pool.. They're defending our borders and eating sand. I salute all the men and women who make it possible everyday for my children and I to live a free life and if you are one of them ~~ From the bottom of my heart I THANK YOU!!! So Please take a moment on the 4th and remember what it really stands for... That Red White and Blue is not just a piece of cloth.. It is a SYMBOL of our freedom and the men and women who fight for it.

Happy Independence Day!!!!
~Kim

I'm Proud To Be An American
Written By Lee Greenwood



If tomorrow all the things were gone I'd worked for all my life,
And I had to start again with just my children and my wife,
I'd thank my lucky stars to be living here today,
'Cause the flag still stands for freedom and they can't take that away.


I'm proud to be an American where at least I know I'm free,
And I won't forget the men who died who gave that right to me,
And I gladly stand up next to you and defend her still today, '
Cause there ain't no doubt I love this land God Bless the U.S.A.


From the lakes of Minnesota to the hills of Tennessee,
Across the plains of Texas from sea to shining sea.
From Detroit down to Houston and New York to L.A.
, There's pride in every American heart and it's time we stand and say:


I'm proud to be an American where at least I know I'm free,
And I won't forget the men who died who gave that right to me,
And I gladly stand up next to you and defend her still today, '
Cause there ain't no doubt I love this land God Bless the U.S.A.
Mr. New York
