Get Off On The Wrong Foot

About Me

FROM THE DISTRICT WEEKLY:
"...The Commotions, flanked by Kristina (DJ of many times, ex-organ in Red Onions) and Ruben (Verlaine/Voidoid guitar) and led by Marianne, who makes like Blondie making like a Marvelette (plus Johnny on bass... and locally noted as a revved-up soul band with a happily unexpected reggae b-side called “Licorice” on last year’s debut 45. I am a fan of Ruben’s guitar since 909 times and the hop-skip hook that starts “Licorice” (and xylophone highlights) proves plenty of Treasure Island scholarship..."-Chris Ziegler
"...The Commotions ripped that poppy-framed haze right off. And everything in the Zephyr—even the chairs and tables—started jitterbugging and knee-swinging."- Jennifer Stockdale
FROM LA RECORD:
"Part Northern soul, part showtune, part dancy-punk all with a sit-in drummer that played like an old-school reggae rhythmist. The Commotions were the cherry on the amazingly delicious rock sundae..." — Chesney Higgins
