That Girl<\/em>
\nReview by Pam Baumgardner<\/p>\n

\"That<\/a>This band has been around for many years packing in the joints they played, but then in the late 90’s tragedy struck when drummer Ephraim Ashton died in a car accident.\u00a0 Soon after, members tried out different versions of BMM, they started up or joined different bands (Big Dictator,\u00a0 Dave Rea, Dr. M, Loudmouth Soup, The Pits…) and of course they’ve worked on their day jobs and raising their perspective families.\u00a0 Three years ago BMM reunited for a show at Bombay’s, they were writing music again, and this time they were just in it for the fun and again, they’re finding Ventura supporting them.<\/p>\n

The thing about Bloody Mary Morning is that they write solid songs that engage you right off the get-go.\u00a0 They’re fun, catchy, energetic and memorable…pretty much like their live shows.\u00a0 I love that the band didn’t overproduce their songs making them sound sterile or lifeless.\u00a0 There’s an edge, it’s a tad rough with the vocals push it making the LP sound just a tad punk for the rock genre that is Bloody Mary Morning.<\/p>\n

The guys in the band are about as nice and talented as you’ll find here in Ventura.\u00a0 They are what is right about Ventura’s music scene.\u00a0 These guys rock and the new CD does as well.\u00a0 Pick it up, you won’t be disappointed.<\/p>\n

Here now a sample of some of my favorite tracks:<\/p>\n

And just a side note:\u00a0 I’ll admit the cover artwork reminded of something I couldn’t quite but my finger on.\u00a0 But then it hit me like a ton of bricks.\u00a0 HA!\u00a0 Ingenious!!<\/p>\n
