1. Please! (6:03)

This is the band that played Baja and Progday last year. Wild frenetic music with Origami! Gets a bit out of control in parts but mostly fun.

It's been quite a while between records for this incredibly talented artist. If you're not familiar with her, check out her web sites and any other thing you can find. Keep in mind that as you listen every voice is hers - she has incredible range. The title cut is stunning, and most of the lyrics are a bit disturbing or just dark. There's a million things I could say about her but I'll just say check out her covers of great songs, on her web sites, my space, and You Tube. Hansford Rowe plays bass on most of the songs and you'll get Trey Gunn and Bon Lozaga (who she collaborates often with) on one song.
Three - Wake Pig (2005)
1. Alien Angel
2. Monster
3. Dregs
4. Wake Pig
5. Bramfatura
6. Trust
7. Dogs of War
8. Soul to Sell
9. One Way Town
10. Queen
11. Circus Without Clowns
12. Where's Max
Yes, another song called "Queen"!
Unlike the recent "The End Is Begun", this record has a lot of acoustic moments. Songwriter, singer, and guitarist Joey Eppard is amazing. I've seen these guys four times in four states this year, one of the most exciting bands around.
