Sky Cries Mary is a Seattle band who put out their first album in 1989. The main band members are wife/husband team Lisa & Roderick Romano with an changing lineup over the years. Their brand of psychedelic tinged alternative rock infuses world beat influences as well. Lisa & Roderick do the bulk of the lead vocals & Lisa has an incredible, operatic, soaring voice that is gorgeous. Their voices harmonize nicely together.Here's a live clip at The Fenix, Seattle, WA,(the songs aren't from this album since their weren't any vids from this cd)"These Old Bones" & "Scapegoat":

It looks like they put on a great live show! They have a new cd out called "Small Town" that you can hear at their myspace page link below. Pretty trippy, yet beautiful sounds.http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewprofile&friendID=22339692http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sky_Cries_Mary

Lady Miss Ian says A Seattle friend o' mine was really into them. That first song you posted reminds me a little bit of (just in a big ol' vague way) of mellower version of L7's "Pretend We're Dead." At least at first listen.

Augusts1 says Tripsis, they kinda grow on you after awhile I've found. Tripbro, I don't even know who to compare them to since they have a sound that is reminiscent of alot of '60s psychedilia bands but yet manage to have a completely unique sound. Their name is an homage to Jimi Hendrix which gives ya a clue to some of their influences. Lady MI, that's an interesting influence you came up with but I thought L7 was much rockier from what I'd heard of them. 54, yea they do sound very modern & have beautiful layering of their harmonic vocals yet there still is that touch of older rock influence there. FP, glad you like that song. Some artists can do the marriage & art thing together!

Augusts1 says Apparently I messed up their names & can't figure out how to edit this old post. A major fan joined Mog to inform me of my error. Their real names are Anisa & Roderick Romero. Not sure how I got them incorrect. Oh well. Sorry to the band & to "mycarrion":http://mog.com/mycarrion .
