Sounds Like
Sweet little tunes and smarty-pants lyrics on top of dubious guitar. They say tragedy+time=comedy. Therefore, comedy-time=tragedy. So if you listen to my songs while going back in time, you will get depressed. This is why I was taken off the "Back to the Future" soundtrack.

"Phoebe Kreutz's chanteusey delivery and comic writing were genuinely funny."- THE NEW YORK TIMES "No matter how often her lyrics may shock and offend, she is endearlingly cute and wise." - QUEENS AMONGST IDIOTS (U.K.)
"Musically, her simple song structures are lifted to near-genius level by her clear, bright vocals and vivid personality...as melancholy as they are witty."-SANDMAN (U.K.)
"Witty, bittersweet"-ISTHISMUSIC.COM (U.K.) "Awesome"- LONDONIST (U.K.)
"Kookily cute... Adorably quirky, her voice soars over spiky strumming like a countrified Regina Spektor, using craftily contagious songs to woo the heart of the audience." - SKINNY MAG (U.K.)
"Phoebe Kreutz plays straightforward, acoustic folk rhythms with a huge dose of wacky humor and cleverly written lyrics."- THE SAN DIEGO UNION TRIBUNE
"Kreutz is a hilarious songstress, demonstrating the broad-base and sense of humor inherent to the genre." - THE DAILY BAROMETER (OREGON STATE UNIVERSITY)
"The Queen of Joke-Folk is Worth Hearing More than Twice. You Just try and Keep a Straight Face. Phoebe should be an MTV star already. In the World of RadioMike, She Already is." - THEFEVEREDBRAINOFRADIOMIKE.COM
"It has been said that Phoebe Kreutz sings like a lovechild of Joan Baez and Weird Al Yankovic. To me, she sounds like a female version of Adam Sandler, only more focused on the quality of her music than that renowned comedian-turned-songwriter. Working well within the Antifolk community, Kreutz also keeps true to her promise to never write about her feelings."- THE STANFORD DAILY

hi * thanks again for two wonderful concerts. the big lousy moon is magnificent, so intellegently bitter-sweet and funny;)...maybe i'll do a cover of one of your songs...and the ep is also great. especially "song about damian" which is so adorable... and "everyone in england looks like coldplay" haha... so funny... and "tijuana"...i've just been to mexico and i tried to drink tapwater;) * could you put up the jefferson song. it's so true... and the ass song. it's so true too;) or "nous somme ensemble"? but don't hurry have a great time touring on because "you go where you go when you go" ... hope the open mic 2night was fun. * take care

Heyo Phoebe, I wanna hear that baller Thomas Jefferson song again. I see you are in Europe like I am. Let me know if you pass through Paris. Maybe we could hang out at the Eiffel Tower or something (and you could play that song for me then). Have a great week!

Hi Phoebe we also hope to see you again. It was a great time and I..m still very proud that you enjoy everything (especially the dinner :)) Cheers Jenny
When I think about the sheer number of satisfying wall posts and/or messages we could have already shared had we been virtual friends earlier, I die a little inside. Drink a delicious free beer for me. Also, if you find a way to efficiently pour one in an envelope, send one to me at: Mike Mentzer c/o Old Neville of the Woodsfolk East Northbrook Forest Preserve Northbrook, IL 60062-Tree
