Driven to dizzying heights by scratch-and-slap acoustic guitarist Veronica
May, this award-winning lead vocalist and her To Do List create a crossbreed
collage of indie, funk and blues. Veronica’s fight crew includes mood
altering bassist Jeff Johnson and former “Star Searchâ€-ing drummer Simon
DasGupta.
Their rich and soulful sounds are influenced by the likes of Anii DiFranco,
Jeff Buckley and Pinback. Veronica’s innovative mastery of every inch of her
guitar’s real estate resembles that of indie-fave Kaki King, while her
passionate lyrics bear a heart that is familiar with love, loss and ‘80s
sitcoms.
Separately they’ve played with Anna Troy, SweetTooth and PJ Phillips.
Together with their riffs, licks and percussive eruptions, they amaze
everyone from MySpace-ers to Baby Boomers. All this and a beat you can dance
to…that is, until it changes.
Their roots reach down into Colorado, San Diego and the UK, but their
fan base is pure Southern California gold. Just say the words “Veronica Mayâ€
and they will come – if just to see what she does with that little piece of
sandpaper. Other mysteries include: Exactly how many hands does she have?
When is my jaw going to get up of the ground? and Is that a kazoo in her
pocket?
Acquaint yourselves with Veronica May and the To Do List only if you wish to
experience originality, energy, clever lyrics, dirty blues and jazzy funk.
And perhaps the polka, leg kicks and press-on moustache.Sandpaper Song
