MOOM PITCHERS




i know,another weird name,and it comes with a story.we were listening to a mrs. miller album and in the liner notes it had a segment where they talked about her t.v. appearances,and some questions she was asked,one of which was,"what does she like to do with her spare time?",to which she replied she,"liked moom pitchers",which we deciphered as,"moving pictures"ie:the movies.just a strange way to say things,i guess.anyway the name stuck for 4 sessions,all of which is here.there is some 4-track tomfoolery,more live stuff than anything,and the band is mostly me,joel,and mike,tho' dug appears on the last 6 songs.aunt christy sings on "christine's tune".hard to pin down an exact sound except to say,"space vixens",the title of a song,and the original moniker,(for a few days),which kinda describes the sound,but not as well as you would like.still cool.check out a song about tony,"homily boy".i think you may agree ,moom pitchers is quite possibly the most debonair band to have existed in their time(1/19/96-2/4/96),and as you can see the post below is the band that followed up on this band about a week later.pretty comparable to "the new space rock extravaganzas",a nice companion piece,with the same members,we used to change band names like our socks,we were so fickle.sounds like moom pitchers,for sure,tubular dudes!
