The Lisps are a New York-based assemblage of 21st century indie-rock vaudevillians. They write songs about science and love, space and pain, babies and documents. Their performances have been known to involve bloody tambourines, wrestling, lipstick smeared melodicas, tap shoes, old kitchen cabinets and dinosaurs. The Lisps are the public/performative version of all the relationships you're struggling with.

" Like an old time variety show, the Lisps' songs tap dance between simple country guitar melodies to a cacophony of melodica, horns, even bag pipes. Tunis and Alvarez trade lyrics so sweet and silly they sound like the Moldy Peaches' campy, country cousin." - Spin.com

" A riveting and revealing hour-long show . . .a true diamond in the rough of local bands." - CMJ

" Immediately lovable, The Lisps are a pop band at their core, but they ease their way through the genre's confining walls with not-so-subtle nods to old-time country and vaudeville.” - L Magazine

The Lisps validate their buzz-worthy stamp with exuberance & poise. Expect 2008 to bring the zany band universal adoration from coast to coast." - The Music Slut

” Country Doctor Museum rests somewhere between quirky, back-porch folk and a woozy European circus soundtrack. The music is such a great blend of old-school troubadour and contemporary rock cheekiness.”
- Phoenix New Times
