"Everything The Terrordactyls do is Wonderful."(Megan Seling, The Stranger)
"...No matter what, let's all continue to make music and enjoy every moment of this process that is life. Never let down and long live the party”(Letter from Andrew W.K.).
"When the opener nails its performance, there is an odd electricity that runs through the room, and it was certainly there when the Terrordactyls left the stage. Their head-swaying songs, filled with out-of-tune kazoo harmonizing and a plinking toy piano, were almost the pinnacle of the whole show."(Rob Bergquist, The West Coast Performer)
"We miss you!! You're the best on the planet! XOXO"(Donna Jean & Melaena)

THE NEWEST JOSH KLETZKIN VIDEO featuring drawings from Tyrel's elementary school art class:
Michael was Born in Baltimore, Maryland. Tyrel is from Tukwila,
Washington. Their birth places are the source of their magic, speed and unusually superior upper-body strength. They are both extremely lovable and popular individuals. Michael’s interests include: fabricating truths on job applications, multiple choice questions and running away. Tyrel enjoys guns, organizing his itunes music library and being good at life.
Originally a quartet, The Terrordactyls once featured Brendhan Bowers on drums and Scott Yoder on guitar. The two eventually left the band because they were no longer willing to participate in the rigorous daily regimens of weight lifting and jumping jacks required by the group’s image consultant, Extremeline.
During the brief periods that Michael and Tyrel are away from the gym, they enjoy watching inspirational sports films and talking about their abs.
The things Tyrel hates most about Michael is his inabilty to sing the right words to “frosty the snowman” and that his parents are divorced.
Michael hates Tyrel’s stupid face and that he is always trying to sell his position in the band on craigslist.
Hope the tour went well! We just got home ourselves a few days ago and I'm still recovering from it :) cheers from Groningen. Glad you like the record. best,
Heya fellazz, Back home? How were the remaining weeks of the European tour? & When is the next? ;) Anyway, it was cool playing with you in Ghent! Cheers, PJ

on their self-titled album, the terrordactyls' quirky, lighthearted yet decidedly melancholic pop/anti-folk tunes are augmented by toy pianos, kazoos, and the voice of kimya dawson (the moldy peaches, juno). despite all these charming trappings, though, nothing really serves to take the edge off the terrordactyls' gutsy interpretation of the sad sweetness (or sweet sadness) of living.
