Thanks for the panties!

About Me

We think toys and non-toys should live in harmony.
We started as an experimental toy instrument duo and quickly became an experimental rock quintet. Currently, we keep the toy juice flowing with a Jaymar toy piano (a.k.a., Jameson H. Mar).
All toys aside, we have a sometimes-distorted cello, a vintage Fender, and a French horn with effects that consistently makes fans say, "I had NO IDEA a French horn could do that." They are rightfully astonished; the damn thing rocks.
The setup also contains a stack of keys, some toys, some the polar opposite of toys. The sounds emanating from the Key Stack, as commanded by Princess Bexie, are always juicy.
All five of the Princesses have done hard time at East Coast conservatories and hard drugs at West Coast house parties. We feel we are superlatively qualified for the position of rocking your face off with our tasty, unexpected, and thoughtfully concocted musical sauce.
Check out our full set from the 6.29 show at The Gig in Hollywood by clicking here and then clicking on "Princess Playdate". You can also take a look at this 3-minute rehearsal video here .

My Interests

Band Website: You be lookin at it.
Band Members: Star St.Germain - cello, voiceJolie Anne O'Dell - Jaymar toy piano, voiceBexie Brown - synths, guitar, voiceBen Mulholland - French horn, mellophoniumRyan Ochs - drums
Influences: Homo and hetero sex. Prescription and street drugs. Rock 'n roll and other music. Art. Life. Things one finds on the sidewalk. Really good burgers.
Sounds Like: Cello-heavy indie rock, only better written, with instrumentation so clever and artful that you never even hear it coming. Killer vocals in one range with three radically different styles, ranging from classical to classic rock. Lots of clever electronic touches. So, basically, we're ripping off Cannibal Corpse hardcore.
