Do you remember way back in March when I tweeted about this little duo I found, opening for An Horse at the Abbey Pub? My Gold Mask absolutely blew me the fuck away! I had no idea what hit me when Gretta began to pump that kick drum of hers and shake her tambourine and then she sang and it just all went to hell in a handbasket–it was that good. Jack, of course, wow’d me with guitar playing to die for and the combination of just those two instruments created a real disturbance that evening and every evening since that I’ve seen them perform. Well, since then, this Chicago couple has been picked up by quite a few bloggers and have more importantly, put out some great tunes, and toured a bit and gained some more fans around the country. Their new EP is coming out in just a few more weeks and we are looking forward to it gagging for it. But first, those of you going to CMJ are in for a treat because the lovely Sheena Beaston and The Culture of Me are hosting a party where my favorite duo will be performing all of their new songs including Violet Eyes

Tart lady you sold me, bought the download album, tis really cool even my teenage tribe think its splendid and that never happens. ta
Well! And here I was feeling all sorry for myself, still not able to listen to music at all
and you had to go and make my blogging worthwhile, damn you! No, really, thanks darling, you make this all really exactly what it’s here for, because to know that I’ve spread Jack and Gretta’s music a bit further afield makes me smile a mile wide, no matter how much it hurts, xoxo
and kisses too
Oh a MUCH more important thing happened now, Gretta quoted my daughter on her Twitter, I have barely any idea what this means other than the screaming happiness eminating from her room is good.
They’ll be big in one Manchester school soon.
heheh well, Gretta is such a lovely person, I expected no less from her, and I’m happy she’s made your girl happy
