“You’re always clickin’ and pointin’
pointin’ and clickin’
and clickin’ that thing forever”

Music by: Morningwood
Suggested Listen: Sugarbaby (EP)
Recommended Tracks: Sugarbaby, Best of Me, That’s How You Know It’s Love

Morningwood writes larger-than-life, decadent rock that has a brilliant attitude with loud shades of ‘I just don’t care’ woven into their polished sound. Suits us just fine. It’s nice to hear from a band that is comfortable playing in its shoes. Go see them live and you’ll be converted. This week we will hear three songs from the Sugarbaby EP to bring along the story of Maggie & Co.

The brainchild of badass singer Chantal Claret and bassist Pedro Yanowitz, Morningwood kicks your ass and leaves you smiling for more. I’ll spare you their resumes, but we’re talking about some serious players here. I would say their sound, intensity and drive link them to our show in a serious way. And, David Letterman ranks the Wood among his favorite guests ever. Not bad at all.

And in what’s definitely becoming a trend, I first heard Morningwood on YouTube. Great song, wacky video=letter from me. (Ok, so I’m a sucker for The Muppets).

Chantal and the crew are currently putting the finishing touches on their first full-length release and will tour away most of next year. So check them out, give a listen – leave a note and tell them we sent you.

Have a great Chapter 8.

On the Fly. Off the Cuff.
“Best of Me” – Sometimes when you leave someone you end up feeling worse than you ever did when you were with them. And I guess sometimes that someone goes and writes a hit song about how stupid you are for it.

“That’s How You Know It’s Love” – Sad but true. Tongue and cheek dirty.

“Killer Life” – Resist to this buddy.
