The There Was A MansSeptember 10, 2010 Slightly left-of-kilter rock outfit based around the keyboard stylings of Stephanie Rearick (The Coma Savants, Your Mom SRO, Ladyscissors..) Using a Casio Tone, trumpet and her very own voice, Rearick constructs elaborate soundscapes with a Boss Loopstation. Guitarist Jon Hain (Coma Savants, Your Mom SRO) scribbles all over that with jangly, feedbacky, bursts of sound as David Fawcett (Your Mom, Mary Beautifuls) taps out a beat on his electronic drum pads. Rock and roll. |
No Camouflage Anti-War CDVarious Artists - Compilations February 21, 2010  Coney Island Records No Camouflage is a powerful anti-war cry by many of Madison's top artists.

Star BellyStephanie Rearick February 21, 2010  Uvulittle Records "Rearick's a genre-bounding vocalist, keyboard player and trumpeter who takes great care bringing together things indie with her classical and art-music influences." - The Isthmus Stephanie Rearick has been performing and recording since 1993, as frontwoman for Your Mom, Your Mom SRO, and the Coma Savants, occasional side-musician, silent film composer and accompanist, and solo artist.

Royal JellyYour Mom SRO February 21, 2010  Fish-Eye Records The first studio release by this eclectic and odd rock/cabaret ensemble. Loose and shambly with a feel similar to the Velvet Underground, Stephanie Rearick and friends conjure up a wild ride. |
Live at Mother Fool'sVarious Artists - Compilations February 21, 2010  Uvulittle Records This is a great sampler of the Mother Fool's music scene, circa 1996. "Smack-dab in the middle of an historic and eclectic Madison, WI neighborhood stands Mother Fool's -- a tiny, intimate, smoke-free coffeehouse that is home to some of the city's most creative and refreshing musicians. But because Mother Fool's holds fewer than 100 people, owners Jon Hain and Stephanie Rearick decided to form their own record label, compile many of the coffeehouse's finest moments and release for...

MoodswingElizabeth Schaefer February 21, 2010  Wrecked Moviehouse Elizabeth Schaefer's newest CD "Moodswing" is a step towards rock-cabaret. 10 songs are featured on this CD including "Windstorm" which tells a story about a person addicted to violent storms, "Storm Before Sweden" a love ballad about a couple traveling from Denmark to Sweden and "Singing In A Hotel" a song about a lonely cabaret singer who performs weekly in a hotel awaiting a lover who never appears.

ÇThe Coma Savants February 21, 2010  Uvulittle Records This is a one-of-a-kind collectors' item. We only made 250 copies and they are all numbered. Also, each one has different artwork inside. The packaging is a cloth pouch that is made from the long streamers used in The Eating Machine video so what you get may not quite look like the one pictured here. This is an enhanced CD -- it will play in your stereo and if you pop it in a computer you can access the videos. Also, there is a folder on the disc with various mp3s. It is really quite... [more] |

Coma SavantThe Coma Savants February 21, 2010  Uvulittle Records "This band's debut release is simply delightful. Pianist and vocalist Stephanie Rearick establishes that she is no slouch with the opening track, the band's theme song. Her performance invites comparisons to Nina Simone, a situation that most players would subsequently exploit at great length… the electric guitar madness of Jon Hain will appeal to anyone who enjoys new twisted takes on psychedelia. There is also jazzy, folky, and cabaret material here, generally played with both the... [more] |
The Coma SavantsFebruary 21, 2010 It all started in the fall of 2001... Your Mom SRO had been working on what would have been their third album when the band decided to call it quits. Very quickly, a new concept came forward and The Coma Savants came into being. The first order of business was to head to Broken Horsey Studio with Ed Reardon and Jenny Hanson. Over the course of 5 days, The Savants recorded all the basic tracks for what would become their debut, Coma Savant. The album, released on... [more] |
