There will be a live auction with fantastic items (and Steve helping as auctioneer supreme), and tickets are only $5. It's an all ages event, and The Talking Stick has great food and a corkage fee of only $8. And, if you're out of town (or home on the couch) you can watch us remotely at http://www.ustream.tv/channel/netteradio. But there's nothing like seeing live music if you can be here. Michelle will be wearing a purple outfit that must be seen to be appreciated. There will also be a raffle of who knows what treasures Annette has come up with this time!!!
VIDEOS!
(psssst ... new album and new videos coming -- and you thought SEXY EPSILON was crazy)
Our newest video by our brilliant filmmaker, Bob Kent. The video stars the amazing Sheryl Arenson, Andrew Pari, Melanie MacQueen, Daniel Leslie, and introducing Rose Pinkney. And our Doug Forsyth is on drums!
IT'S "SEXY EPSILON"!!!
Bob Kent has done it again. From the movie "Angus Petfarkin Paints His Masterpiece," this movie is a wild ride into the mind of an artist and into his future. And we do mean future! Thanks again, Bob!!
"KATE HUTTON" IS HERE!!!!
Directed by the inventive and amazing Bob Kent, "Kate Hutton" is Crazy Aunt Mary's first music video! It's unique, unexpected, and absolutely wonderful. Thank you, Bob!!
And you can't miss Michelle doing Gilbert and Sullivan ...
Directed by Eugene Hutchins, "When Our Gallant Norman Foes" is a bloodthirsty and fun aria from "The Yeomen of the Guard", originally done at Sierra Madre Playhouse, and seen here at Opera San Luis Obispo. Special thanks to Steve Kubick and Katie Trimble!
IT'S A WRAP!!
"Angus Petfarkin Paints His Masterpiece," is now available on DVD! Our song,"Sexy Epsilon," was written for the film, and Steve and Michelle also played on the score.
The movie is the brainchild of Bob Kent, who directed all of our videos, which you can find here on our website or on our YouTube page. The movie stars Bob and the wonderful Ruth de Sosa.
Michelle is also in the film with Bob and the talented Daniel Leslie. If you'd like to watch the "Angus Petfarkin" trailer, just click here to see it on YouTube.
The movie is available for purchase, and you can get it through the Rhamphorhynchus Pictures web site or on FilmBaby.com.

"Month After Month"
You can hear Crazy Aunt Mary's song "Month After Month" on their AirPlayDirect.com site. It was written for the West Coast premiere of the play "Months on End" at Theatre 40 in Beverly Hills and directed by Melanie Mac Queen. It was written by the very talented playwright Craig Pospisil.
"Chrissie Hynde with Broadway chops."
—A.J. Diamond, Musician
"A distinctive lead singer is one of the most valuable musical commodities a modern band can possess. On this front (they) succeed in spades, thanks to the prowess of vocalist/bassist Michelle Holmes. Fusing the dramatic clarity of pop with the pronounced intelligence of acoustic music, Holmes' interpretive powers are sparked by the sheer intensity of her potent rock delivery. Front and center, her voice is a beacon of clarity, illuminating the path of the band. Lead guitarist Steve Pinkney shines with both his muscular neo-psychedelic leads and as spotlighted on an extended acoustic guitar intro on the song, 'Hey, Steve Hawking.'"
—Dan Kimpel, for Sunset Strip Radio
