"I should warn you…their song, Hola
Lola…is so infectious that you may not be able to get it out of your
head. Much to my friend's delight/dismay, I couldn't stop singing it for
hours."
- Roy Sander, Backstage Magazine
"Bright as two buttons, they sing the songs they write with the kind
of wit and intelligence of the Dorothy's Parker and Fields…" - David
Finkle, Village Voice

as fresh, bright, witty and accessible as have ever been written."
