Reviews from our Howe Gelb support:
From doubtfulsounds.wordpress.com...
...In support Wifey played an upbeat set prominently featuring keys and violin in its anglophiliac americana stylings. At times they sounded like a cross between Okkervil River and Dexys Midnight Runners with their melodic sensibilities. Between songs, Andy Calvert’s comic musings worked well to loosen up the punters, especially his tale of his ‘Bryan Ferry with herpes’ avatar...
From Fasterlouder.com...
Budding Freudians may take interest in the way Andy Calvert spits out various colloquial references to his (or someone else’s) appendage, but what’s really to get excited about here is the playful bounce of the beguiling Eccentric Boogaloo or the Elvis Costello-ish Chop it Off. Although the fiddle occasionally drags Wifey into folk cliché, theirs is a distinctly Australian sound that tips an accomplished nod at American greats such as Bonny Prince Billy and Tom Waits…no bad thing at all.
