Achingly moody, unique roots rock. Stories From The Alley is honest and gritty and over way too soon.
Bio / Background
Ask the usually passionate and outspoken Mad Housewives how their songs are inspired and they become uncharacteristically quiet and thoughtful. It's not that they don't know where the songs come from; it's just that they find it difficult to talk about. There has always been an intense edginess and melancholia to their music dating when I first saw them as far back as the 80's when they were performing on the circuit as Nothing Sacred and reworking cover tunes from Lou Reed to Dusty Springfield and Otis Redding. But there are many sounds that haven't already been captured by the glut of bands on the scene and the Mad Housewives have found them.
In the mid to late 80's, they earned their reputation headlining in various incarnations of the band playing venues including Club Matador, Grossman's, Albert's Hall and the Black Swan in Toronto but preferring more community-oriented clubs like Café Kim, Graffitti's and The Greeks in Toronto's famed Kensington Market.
