After a two year hiatus from recording while concentrating on their live performances, Shanin and Sepehr are back again building on the success of thier three previous Higher Octave Music releases. In the early 90's, drummer Freda Love originally performed with the Blake Babies with guitarist John Strohm and singer Julianna Hatfield at the same time Dinosaur Jr. and the Lemonheads were also making the rounds in the Boston music scene. When that union dissolved, Strohm went on to front Velo-Deluxe while Love and Smith married, had a son and formed the Mysteries of Life.
All members contribute vocals.
Currently they are on tour in Japan and completed an Australian tour as well this spring. Mary and Dave are still locked in like two squirrels fighting over the same nut. 7-inchers and LPs to their credit. Rick promises that there's a bit of something for everyone on the album. They run the gamut from a belly dancing workout to a hard-rocking' ride with a deranged tow truck driver, from exotic beatific lounge to swamp noir.
