About Me

Who we are: Kathy Ziegler's been making great solo albums and touring with Donna the Buffalo and Abra Moore... Billy Cote is the mastermind behind Madder Rose and Jazz Cannon...and Mary Lorson's made three albums with with her artrock collaborative Saint Low. Now we've come together as The Piano Creeps. Why? Because there's trouble all the time, even if you have i.d. The forthcoming album is "Future Blues (for me and you)."I edited my profile with Thomas' Myspace Editor V4.4
