-=Greetings=- Scroll down for the music and/or read text. A Brief Model Mary Bio In real linear time, Model Mary is in perpetual existential crisis.... That is, it does not exist today.... Yet yesterday, today, and tomorrow, via technology-facilitated compression and acceleration of time and distance...the music LIVES & BREATHES. We were/are/will be a modern/college rock band in the late '80s/early 90's at Syracuse University. The band was formed by Joe Piazza (vocals, guitar) and Chris Lehmann (bass, vocals, guitar), and was originally a trio including Scott "Double-At-Steak" Holmquist on drums. Scott's nickname came from the fact that he often had to skip rehearsal due to a double shift at a frightening bistro called Mr. Steak. After graduation, Chris high-tailed to San Francisco, forming a group called Heavy Into Jeff (?). We then recruited a maniacial and spirited bassist named Sean Trinkhaus, who also left for San Francisco a year later (only to make it as far as Ohio)... :-P At this same time, though Scott was an excellent drummer, his style and manner was not quite the Model Mary fit and he was booted (our Pete Best), replaced by my childhood friend, an excellent drummer named Mark Grasso. And we replaced Sean with bassist John Bates.... So blah blah blah...we moved to CT to be closer to the big city, almost had management, almost offended a BMG A&R dude...a funny story I must sidebar to tell: we're sitting backstage at the Bitter End one night and this sedated 40-something walks up to us and starts given us the third degree. He was jet-lagged and annoying, had more attitude than the pompous generic singer/songwriter on before us, whom BMG had just signed. We told him he'd made a bad A&R decision with this clown and he had better stick around to see us, and to stop praising the Beach Boys to us...though they deserve(d) respect...one must understand that "Good Vibrations" was a Sunkist jingle to us.... ...Anyway...we never saw any other A&R reps in our 5 year stint, but almost signed with a management team called Invasion. One woman there really grooved on us, but since their roster consisted of mostly avante-garde artists and the entire Axiom label gang...we didn't fit there either.... ...long story short...we broke up after several years of very hard work.... Now, with the mp3 craze in full swing...I thought: why not get this stuff out there once and for all. We were a very decent AlternaPop band, and not many artists could pull off the 3-part harmonies we used to croon.... So tune in and enjoy a band who, like so many genuinely talented artists, almost was what it wanted to be.... -=peace+light=- -lanceKC- Zygote Productions Wanna pretend to be a music journalist??
