So...I am still stuck at work.  But, at least in the metaphysical world of the Philly Weekly, I am stuck between M. Ward and Kathleen Edwards.  Who wouldn't love to be stuck in an elevator with Kathleen Edwards?  We got recommended again as "the show to see" this Friday, 2/20 at The Khyber.  It should be a great show...headlining with The Rosewood Thieves (NYC) and Philly's The MLM's. 
 Here's what they had to say:
"On their song "All Day All Night" Philly fivesome North Lawrence Midnight Singers call to mind the Replacements when they went down to Memphis to record with Jim Dickinson: Whiskey–and–cigarette–shaped vocals from a punk heart merging with rockabilly backbeats, country guitar twang and a potent dose of classic R&B soul. The ghosts of Sun Studios live in several of NLMS’ other tunes, and when they say they’re fond of ”all the cats who made up the Traveling Wilburys,” they’re not kidding, though they certainly handle those collective influences with care."

I'll take a Replacements comparison anyday...if we ever write a song like "Left of the Dial," "Alex Chilton" or "Waitress in the Sky," I'd be happy.  Man, those guys were great.  So...come on out and see us. 

"And even if you're in the arms of someone's baby now, I'll drink a great big  whisky to ya anyway."

Todd (and the Singers)
