At an unlikely gathering of friends at a Memorial Day 2002 picnic, four suburban Detroit (where else?) moms watch as their husbands smoked cigars, talked sports and chased around their hopped-up-on-sugar kids and thought, "yeah, this can't be it". Having heard of an all-moms "battle of the bands" to take place on Mother's Day, 2003, and with some prodding from friends and colleagues, The Mydols were born. Of course, it didn't matter that nobody knew how to play an instrument; it was full speed ahead and never mind the laundry! That Fall, folks around town began to see posters at gas stations, restaurants, soccer fields, bars, bus stations, jails, firehouses and daycare centers announcing 'mom's night out' shows by The Mydols. With only a couple of months to learn and almost master their instruments and style, The Mydols began playing out. .... By January 2003, The Mydols started to hit the clubs and began to play alongside other rock acts. It didn't matter -- punk, surf-a-billy, garage, alt- these suburban white bread mothers held their own with bands like The Greenhornes, The Hard Lessons, The Tough and Lovely, Les Hell on Heels and the Supersuckers, sugaring up hard-core audiences at some of metro Detroit's most notable venues (Magic Stick, Magic Bag, Royal Music Theater, Blind Pig) as well as rock clubs in New York, Cleveland, Chicago, Fort Wayne, Toronto (at NXNE). In Nashville and St. Paul, where they were hailed in the press as "Critic's Pick of the Week". .... And it doesn't stop there. Guitarist Judy Davids participated as a panelist at two workshops at the Rockrgrl Conference in Seattle, Washington in November 2005. The Mydols toured with Norwegian rockers, The Launderettes, were guests on the Mitch Album Show, competed in LITTLE STEVEN's BATTLE OF THE BANDS, appeared on the TODAY SHOW, CBS EARLY MORNING, THE GREG BEHRENDT SHOW and INSIDE EDITION and were featured in the WALL STREET JOURNAL, THE SUN, THE LONDON TIMES, THE WASHINGTON POST and in a three-page spread in PEOPLE magazine. On Mother's Day 2005 they were interviewed by Bill Geist for CBS NEWS SUNDAY MORNING. .... In January 2004 The Mydols took their choppy, rough-around-the-edges rock out of the laundry room and into the studio. They released their first full-length CD, Sally has a Kitchen Accident with producer Len Puch. In November 2004, The Mydols recorded at Joel Martin's 54 Sound Studio with Oscar/Grammy winner and Eminem co-writer/keyboardist, Luis Resto. Resto produced and played on the band's Christmas single. .... The Mydols performed their single, "Hot Rod Your Home" for the HGTV show "Generation Renovation" and their sophmore release, BORN TO IRON was nominated for a 2006 Detroit Music Award for "Outstanding Pop/Rock Recording." .... What's cookin' Judy Davids' has a book out called ROCK STAR MOMMY: My Life as a Rocker Mom (Citadel Press 2008) and the band welcomes new members April Boyle and Wensdy Von Buskirk..... Not bad for the little band that thought it could. .... Discography.. Sally has a Kitchen Accident 2004.. Merry Freakin' Christmas (Single) 2004..
