Bio:
Less than a year into their inception they released their debut single "Somebody Lonely" b/w "The Honeymoon Loop", two of the groups more upbeat numbers that explore their '60s girl-group fetishism but through more of a timeless eye. The single promptly sold out in less than a month's time with ZERO radio play or ad campaigns, relying almost solely on the runaway train word-of-mouth the band has effortlessly garnered through their dramatic live act that's been described as "like tuning into a soap opera half-way through the season and trying to put all the pieces of the plot together..." and "pounding sweaty malevolence" (LA WEEKLY).
"Jail Weddings are unreal—full disclosure is that I respect Gabe Hart (Starvations/Fortune ’s Flesh) a lot and here is the band he was born for. Nine-piece revue with himself and two wild ladies up front—Katya the incandescent blonde and Tina the bombshell brunette—and a band that is Phil Spector’s Wrecking Crew from X’s Los Angeles. Their good songs are as good as any good band and their best songs are an honor and a privilege: Gabe in silver tie with basso boom like Roy Orbison (!) hauling a song across his shoulder with the opener, “Somebody’s lonely . . . !” and the band (with violin and sax and keys) and the girls pop in on the exact same sha-la-la behind him. No gimmick—instead the total real deal, with Katya and Tina and Gabe all splitting solos (just like my Wailers at the Castle LP) off their righteous heartbroke big-beat big-chorus California rock & roll. " - Chris Ziegler, The District Weekly/LA Record
