Lisa Germano / Beauty Pill October 26, 2006

Multi-instrumentalist Lisa Germano became known for her fluid, gutsy style through her work with John Mellencamp, which is captured on the 'Big Daddy' and 'Lonesome Jubilee' albums. Her solo releases on 4AD and Young God are a diverse blend of influences. The latest is 'in the maybe world.'

After D.C. post-punks Smart Went Crazy broke up in 1998, songwriters Chad Clark and Abram Goodrich decided to create music on their own. The curent touring band includes Basla Andolsun (bass), Chad Clark (voice, guitar, treatments), Jean Cook (voice, wurlitzer, skilletophone, strings), Drew Doucette (guitar), Devin Ocampo (drums, guitar) and Chad Molter (percussion, guitar, drums, bass). Clark attributes the band's relative inactivity from 2003 - 2006 to the time commitment required to operate Silver Sonya, the studio he runs with Aloha's T.J. Lipple.
