"(My Pet Dragon's) live performance is nothing short of transcendent. "
"Todd Michaelsen (a.k.a. My Pet Dragon), hailing from Brooklyn, NY, is a symbol of what threatens the future of the music industry. He embodies the spirit of all talented unsigned artists that push the creative envelope and grow independently. The independent movement is a growing shadow in the background of commercial music."

"Their song-and-dance combination are forceful and stunning."
-LA Taco, Los Angeles
-----------------------------------------
"melodic but haunting; ambient but also intense. Michaelsen not only gets away with the paradoxes, but forges new territory in blending disparate sounds and influences together into a novel experience." *****(5 out of 5 stars)
