About Us
Here's how it started.....
A hot summer day
On their way to the pool
Hot summer day
They were watching children pray
A cry in a car
It crashed and it burned
A cry in a car
It wasn’t long since he left her
He smoked his last cigarette
All alone in a garden
It all happened on a farm
You know he can’t support it
A breeze, it was snowing, they left an hour ago
Crashed into tree
Splattered all around his children
could see
In a rooftop garden
They prayed for everyone
Tried to come out smiling
Didn’t want anyone to know
Blood dotted on the sidewalk
It was such a mess
The children on their way to school
Couldn’t bare the sight
He made the girls cry
At the outdoor revival
Stood by the pulpit
And read from the Holy Bible
words: Miss Melvis - From the song Rooftop Garden
Bios
Miss Melvis: (Guitar, Words and Vocals) is a veteran guitarist/singer/songwriter best known for her stint in Cleveland’s infamous noise, improv ensemble Flat Can Co (Scene Magazine - “Best Indie Band” 2007, and “Best Instrumental Act” 2008). Soon after, Miss Melvis became romantically linked with Alejandro Escovedo. All signs now pointed to Austin, TX as her new home. During this period, when not touring with Escovedo, Miss Melvis released a full length CD (“Deep Inside”) and two MP3 singles. The singles featured Mike Watt on bass and Scott Krause (Pere Ubu, Home & Garden) on drums.
John Scully: (Drum Kit, Percussion and Electronics) His early history began in the mid-80s Cleveland Hardcore scene. Bands such as Starvation Army, Numbskull, Oral Authority allowed Scully to unleash his myriad influences while playing as fast as he could. It was refreshing. Eventually, the jazz side overtook the punk side and led him into the world of 3 hour sets for folks sipping expensive cocktails. Upon meeting Miss Melvis, who encouraged him to bring out the electronics, Scully found out about his compositional abilities. The latest Duo Decibel recording, Slow Wave was composed and produced entirely by him.
