SUMMER SALE! ONLY $10!
If you're a purist, might as well run away while you have the chance. There's a reason for the title of this album!
This outgrowth of a sketch comedy act shows just how out of hand things can get when two self-amusing personalities spend too much time with classic rock and pop songbooks and a synthesizer.
From a disco "Ruby Tuesday" to a Jimmy Durante take on "Ben," "Inexcusable" rethinks classic rock and pop, with a decided lounge filter -- and a couple of warped little gems from Romanovsky & Phillips thrown into the mix.
Lady & the Mant (otherwise known as ace lead guitarist Rick Mantler and chanteuse Kathy Biehl)stumbled upon their peculiar musical compatibility while performing in a sketch comedy show called "Rude Dinner Theater" in Houston, TX. With the help of a Yamaha synthesizer, free-flowing Negra Modelos and too many improv sessions stretching past midnight, they quickly developed a repertoire that has amused dozens and baffled more.
One keyboard. Two guitars. Infinite irritainment.
"Next stop, as "Sunshine of Your Love" reaffirms: Dr. Demento's dinner theater." -- Heath Rowe, Media Diet.
"Your CD displays a spectacular disregard for musical taste. Congratulations! You have usurped the Shaggs. I send undying admiration." -- K. Loftus
"My favorite - a series of songs sung by Biehl and Mantler. Biehl's gentle soprano carries the delightful 'Guilt Trip:' 'I do not want to see you smiling / You're not supposed to have a good time / You shouldn't think about your feelings / You should only be concerned with mine.*' Mantler sings an ode to all things wimp, and in a truly brave moment he visits the audience as a sadistic tooth fairy in a white net tutu. It's a good time." -- arts critic Megan Halverson, reviewing "Rude Dinner Theater" for Houston Sidewalk
