"Weirder than TMBG and less sinister than Miss Pussycat, the Monsterface dudes are about as close to the early magic of Henson (not Hanson: HENSON) as you're likely to come across in these parts...the dadaist fake-children's-music ... you've been dreaming about. If you take yourself too seriously to fall in love with this band, seek help. " - Boston Phoenix
"...equal parts GWAR, Jim Henson, and rock opera..."-The Charlottesville Hook
"Uncle Monsterface is a multi-media experience, a term that does the surreal phenomenon that is this band no justice...If sock puppets, psychedelic prairie dogs and inflatable lobsters arent your thing, you should probably move along." - musicpost.com
"...what's more fun than a hand in a sock? This is music deemed appropriate for both adults and tykes, although there's nothing childish about the music...excpet that there are sock puppets involved..." - The Boston Globe

So my heart broke a little when I wasn't picked to play the lobster because...well...lets just say you couldn't find anyone who loves lobsters more as people than I.
But Neumos was still one of the best nights ever. You all played really well and put on quite a show. Props all around. I told Uncle Monsterface to say hello to his mother for me, I sure hope he doesn't forget...please remind him. Thanks!
monster face I love you. I've waited soling for this night I'm so glad it finally came. I Can not wait for you guys to come again, but I will. Nothing has made me happier than to rock out with my lovely monsterface. Call me!
I wish you would stop seeing other cities. However, it is absolutely necessary to spread the love, and I am quite proud of you, making yourself heard all across the country. But I do miss you ever so much.
