Some recent quotes: A Brooklyn singing group is putting a little bit of country music into its tunes about city life. Instead of songs about lost loves, dead dogs and broken-down pickups, Brooklyn trio Ménage à Twang is singing about lousy subway service, boring jobs and being forced to share studio apartments. - Elizabeth Lazarowitz, NY Daily News “I haven’t heard a funny local band in ages, but this parody folk LP made me laugh loudly so many times. Like an indie rocker’s Sex and the City, perhaps it’s narrowly targeted at we who live in New York with hipster artist/musician types up our wazoos; but you don’t have to be a Brooklynite like several characters this female trio hilariously satirizes (they don’t spare themselves, either!) to split a gut and sing along to the terrifically tart, close to the bone “Listen Sister, Don’t Date a Hipster” (including the wicked-sick lines “Just give it time and I’m sure you’ll find that ironic mustache pathetic” and “He’ll never let you touch his seven inches”—oooh-eee!) and “Good Face/Bad Art.” OK, I admit it! I couldn’t long date someone whose art I hated, either, even if they were hot!” - Jack Rabid, Big Takeover, Issue 65 http://www.nydailynews.com/ny_local/brooklyn/2010/03/09/2010-03-09_city_gals_go_country_female_trio_uses_twangy_style_to_tell_tales_of_life__love.htmlhttp://www.bigtakeover.comshapeimage_2_link_0shapeimage_2_link_1
