SOILED MATTRESS AND THE SPRINGS
Soiled Mattress make sensual lounge music: sophisticated, catchy, and upbeat. Matthew Thurber is on tenor sax - imagine the experience of hearing his music, surrounded by his art, while reading his comic, his body scent in the air.

Me? I'm most excited about Ariel Pink's Haunted Graffiti and Soiled Mattress and the Springs. Grab yer calendar and get to markin' - these events are not to be missed!
