______________________________________________
Here are a couple of really nice things people have said about my efforts:
"A pure and piercing voice... Acousitc singer/songwriters may be a dime-a-dozen, but this one has something special." --Andy Hazel, Inpress (gig review), Melbourne 1/24/07
"Martin's sound takes in parts country, slacker indie rock, grubby cherub pop, and she likes to be free to scream and shout. Her lo-fi DIY attitudes colour her as something of a country punk, an unofficial signpost she doesn't mind orbiting." --Lenin Stamos, Db Magazine, Adelaide 1/23/07
"A friendlier, springtime Cat Power." Excitement Machine, Adelaide 1/07
"A true musician.... Her vocals are rich and tender."--Sam Fell, Inpress, Melbourne 1/10/07
"Bridget's talent is undeniable"--Raglan Chronicle 12/06

Influences right now: High-rise lollipop vending machine beer fermented babies on a stick with octopus eyes on top of a giant mountain scaled by over-dressed hikers with deep-fried bullets flying in from the North Korean Demilitarlized Zone near the temple where the businessmen still pray to The Buddha. And lots of kimche and good old fashioned piss beer like the kind I drank when I was a child.
