Album Notes

Cotton Candy is a cabaret quartet, performing the words and music of Linda Robertson, author of "What Rhymes with Bastard?" In the Pink is the band's first album, and contains several songs from the book.

In Cotton Candy Land, scrumptious melodies and piquant wit make short shrift of fools. Mold and enemas revel in sudden celebrity; kitchen utensils take on a fresh sheen.

Operatic diva Heidi Kooy hits the soprano spot, while Miss Accordion San Francisco 2004 Linda Robertson presses all the right buttons. Underpinning this is passionate bassist Tom Edler, with fairy magic sprinkled on top by Matt Cannon - marimba, celeste, piano and pump organ.

Our charming songs are 100% original, and it's a class act: the music's written out properly on staves and the words are all spelled and punctuated correctly! Since Spring 2001, we've been spreading pastel power across the Bay Area, most recently at Slim's, 12 Galaxies and the Sea of Dreams. We've pinked-up the SF and Cotati accordion festivals, lit up Alamo Square and Twin Peaks, and played for a sub-zero arctic dinner, in ski-wear. No project is too silly.
