"Conflagration review by Ashley Graham"

It's like some sort of Southern Rock-Funk-Hillbilly hybrid band with a firecracker shot up its bum. - Out There Magazine 1/07


"Conflagration review by Luke Baumgarten"

Mistress and the misters' new album "Conflagration" is filthy... the album cuts a swath right through the middle of punk, grunge and classic rock- three genres that no one seems to want to acknowledge the similarities of (I can totally draw a Venn diagram if you want). Further, the album's tempo is turned up considerably over their past work. Like an inferno, to complete the metaphor. - Inlander 10-19-06


"Conflagration review by A.W. Rowse"

Very few CDs blow me away, but the first ever studio album by Mistress and the misters falls into that category. "Conflagration"... really harnesses the frantic energy of Mistress and the misters. At times the band gets in such a frenzy that the singing turns into what the Sidekick likes to call harmonic mumbling- which is a good thing. I knew I was going to like the disc after the first note on the first song- it rings with an immediacy and energy that completely captured my attention.

"Emic EP review by Julia Lipscomb"

The tracks... express a new frustrated passion blowing out of the awesome synergy between these four startling Misters... they are without a doubt the most crazy ass motherf#%$ers you'll ever see owning a stage. - The Sidekick 5-31-07


"Spokane's "Buzzworthy" Bands by Luke Baumgarten"

Say hello to Spokane's strangest band. They're about to rock your face off. - The Inlander 5-24-07


"Emic EP review by Luke Baumgarten"

It's remarkable... Emic only really begins to unfold itself after a few spins. - The Inlander 6-7-07


"Conflagration review by Sean @ PNWMS"

[Conflagration] is pure guitar rock forged deep in the bowels of garageland. Mistress & The Misters... aren't using any gimmicks or trickery, [and] the songs are kept at punk rock shortness. I can imagine if you walked into a bar as these guys were pounding the stage you'd stumble upon a floor of bouncing heads. It's fast... it's heavy... and it's fun. - Pacific Northwest Music Scene

Bio

Mistress and the Misters are like every other band - that is, if every other band went through an alternate-universe wormsnake. Erupting from the sandy shoes of Spokane, WA, they quickly fled in search of paydirt. Uncontrollable and completely obedient, they strive to understand simple arithmetic and basic sentence structure. The number- ghosts and gods seems to think that there are four earthly beings inhabiting the band.

Chris Henderson (guitar) is a human male who specializes in playing guitar while growing facial hair. When not moonlighting as a toilet orderly he takes particular joy in devastating any and all concert goers with his unique stage abominations.

Shane ‘the Shank’ Taylor (bass) crash landed on earth 15 minutes from now. His whereabouts are unknown at this time, but it is safe to say that he can't be stopped. Since his untimely demise he has been playing a piece of wood with 4 strings.

Joe Varela (drums) grew up slouching while simultaniously complaining of genital strain. With his inane feet and morose arms he crafts rhythms by hitting circles.

Seth Swift (voice) can be described with only one word - total freeloader. However, His Benevolence has seen it fit to sing with the band - Hallelujah!

Separately they are a farce, but together they form the most other-worldly Rock Forest this side of Satan. If you are blessed enough to find yourself at a show be prepared for a fresh Salad of Showmanship.
