Twin Cities Roll Call Blub of Sugar Head Pie Show

Patches and Gretchen

Thursday, March 11th

“Sugar Head Pie” the second release from Gretchen Selchrist’s warped pop-rock combo Patches and Gretchen, is joyously askew. Sounding vocally like an unhinged and over-caffeinated version of her famed sister, Aimee Mann, Selchrist managed to round up a who’s who of local vets to help realize her rambling and rambunctious tunes—including not one, but two ace guitarists, Terry Eason and Todd Newman.

Selchrist’s contagious cacophony should be in high gear for tonight’s CD release party at the Varsity Theater, though whether or not she sports the spooky clown makeup that is featured so prominently on her album cover remains to be seen!
(7 p.m., $10 adv/$12 door, 18+)

A Quick Second – Everett True Review of P & G

Okay, I ‘ll throw it in the soup pot, but we’re not a duo, we’re just all crammed into a telephone booth with the memphis blues again.

Album of the Year (So Far)

Sugar Head Pie by Patches + Gretchen
Don’t let her tipsy, tobacco-voiced delivery fool you: Local songsmith Gretchen Seichrist is clear-eyed and in control on her second album, a superb collection of broken down Americana bolstered by Seichrist’s evocative, goose bump-inducing lyrics. Sugar Head Pie CD release party: 3/11 at the Varsity Theater
