Hey there,
We are pretty stressed getting ready for tour. It's creeping up REAL soon!
A friend of ours recently pointed us in the direction of this nice/funny review of our show at the Triple Door that Erin Thompson from the Seattle Weekly's music blog wrote.
"...Rocky Votolato put on a beautiful show Saturday night, and the first thing he did right was choose the Terrordactyls,
a twosome from Vashon Island that he found on MySpace, to be his
opener. Imagine, if you will, the Flight of the Conchords, only without
the New Zealand accents and with tighter harmonies and catchier songs.
Okay, so the Terrordactyls are not only better musicians, but they've
got the same goofy charm as Bret and Jemaine - Michael Cadiz plays the
guitar, Tyrel Stendhal plays a variety of percussion, including the
xylophone and the kazoo (apparently a kazoo company called Kazoobie
Kazoos in South Florida sponsors them), and both sing. It's a charming
formula - one song compares two lovers to two Venn diagrams overlapping
each other, another claims, "When I was a kid, the proudest I had ever
been was when I didn't hit my sister for a several hour stint." The
audience - a full house -- ate it up. At the end of the set, Cadiz
turned and pumped his fist at the glittering stars behind the stage -
victory indeed!..."
Thanks dude! We had a lot of fun at that show. If any of you would like to read the rest of the review, here's the link:
