About Mary Carves the Chicken....
MCTC formed in the early 90s from the wreckage of two very different LA bands.
Page Jackson was playing in the techno-rock band Tone Poets, while Bob
Sherden was playing in the hard rock band Urban Circus. The two met by chance
when Bob tried to sell some tickets to an Urban Circus show to Page, who
offered to trade for tickets to a Tone Poets show. Soon they were writing songs
together and commiserating about the frustrations of band politics. When they
had about fifteen songs together, they decided to record them, just to have them
on tape. They recruited some friends (and even invited a string quartet from the
Santa Monica Promenade) to play on the recordings and the result is the debut
album "Mary Carves the Chicken."
Since the mid-90's, Bob and Page have continued to write, record, and perform
as Mary Carves the Chicken. Since that first CD, they have independently
released six more albums: Welcome to Hollywood; Three; Jeez Louise; Live
Chicken; Critically Acclaimed, Number One, Smash Hit, Triple Platinum Debut
Record (as Double Wide); and the new CD, Love & Respect.
The band has survived several line-up changes , as well as Page's move to the
San Francisco Bay Area. Although Page has since relocated to Southern
California, the band continues to have a very loyal following in the Bay Area.
Drummer David Weinstein joined Mary Carves the Chicken in 2006, for the
band's most recent release, "Love & Respect."
The band is currently working on a new album, tentatively titled, "Less Is Never
More." Although they play rock, blues, and country cover tunes as well, their live
set is one of the most original and catchy around, capturing audiences with their
witty, intelligent lyrics, groovin' music, and superb showmanship.
