brothers and sisters, we bring these glad tidings of great pillow talk to you from the craggy corporate welfare state of the port city of saint john where we dig hips, noise and volume, and where you could never, ever bear to live.
compared by onlookers to crazy horse, moby grape, comets on fire, joy division, velvet underground, the stooges, john rae & the river, elevator and others no doubt forgotten in a hopped-up haze...
included in our ranks are past and present members of waaaay fab local favourites the green river killers, the organizers, port-city allstars, barracuda sunrise, stabby dancers, kean racer and various incarnations of adam mowery organizations, among others.
"This seven piece flirt with country tinged psychedelia, surf-soaked free jazz, Appalachian back porch wails to the stars, and straight up get lost in the swirl of the groove rock and roll madness." Jeff Mclennan, www.panpot.ca. "The band's sound is rock and roll, but with a psychedelic, stoner-country tinge, with their influences ranging from The Byrds to MC5 to Comets on Fire... The Wooden Wives rocked so hard that the walls cried tears of fire." Jeff Lawton & Meg Salter, The Baron. "The Wooden Wives were so heavy I felt like I was at Woodstock and at one point I seriously thought my inner ear was going to implode." Scott Marshall, www.superior-studio.com.
