    Sleazegrinder's Review of "Spitting Rosie" as appeared in the May 2002 issue of New York Waste Magazine

    Maiden Mine - Spitting Rosie

    Portland- the left coast version- is host to all manner of down tuned weirdness. They go crazy from all the cold and rain too, you know, they just don't do it as publicly as the dope fiends in Seattle do. Maiden Mine aren't guilty of all that subsonic Melvins rumble or the faux sincerity of the post grunge alt rockers, but they are fucking weird. All the guys in the band wear duct tape on their mouths when they play, and Mary Elizabeth, their lead singer, wears some kind of leather strap S&M mask. It makes her look like Green Lantern. Sexy, in a straight jacket kind of way. Musically speaking, they're a metal band that takes tangential runs into other, spacier avenues, like a hip tourist getting lost on purpose in a new city. Threads of industro-rattle and barroom funk and even a little druggy jazz swims in and out of the melodic metal mix. When they dip into slower, moodier numbers, Mary sounds like a cabaret singer that's been dragged into the aftermath of an all night Wrestlemania party, keeping a graceful composure when all around her there are blood stains and empty bottles, and when the band is cooking, it's somewhere between the power prog of Dream Theater and the estrogen powered flash metal of Vixen - Iron Maiden Mine, if you will. Schizophrenic but resourceful, these muzzled cats and masked kitten are both familiar and alien all at once, like some one night stand you forgot but owe money to. Pay up, sinner.
