Some Press Quotes:
Chris and Mollie know how to wake you up just when everything in your mind’s still weird. Give me a Southern California morning with some funky blinds to mess with the light and I promise I will spend the whole day listening to The Palm Tree.
-The Wig Fits All Heads
Even better, the material here still stands up months later: the title track and “Waltz†house indelible hooks, “Transition Trade†is a bloody hearted jaunt, those opening drums on “Gravity†still sort of blow my mind wide open. And, hell, the thing’s a concept album. Much love.

the Creepy Crawlies Bio:
Emerging from Chris and Mollie, The Creepy Crawlies features songwriter Chris Donlon on guitar, his brother Anthony Donlon on bass, Kate Mclean on keyboards, and Justin Riner (Spectre Township, Loverlee) on drums. The four came together during the fall of 2009 to make fun, poppy, inventive, strange, silly, shimmering and sincere music. They are currently working on a full length LP to be released this summer.
Chris & Mollie Bio:
Chris Donlon and Mollie Hagar met while attending the University of Santa Cruz, CA in 2000. They were friends first and formed a band in 2001, with Chris as the principal songwriter / guitarist and Mollie on drums. Their friend Kate Mclean contributed backing vocals to The Palm Tree, released in January 2007, and officially joined the band soon after. Before The Palm Tree they recorded a hand-made CD-R called (take to the skies) (2004).
