In addition, Rearick's band Rearick and the ManSisters is back in action after several months of practicing, adjusting to threesomeness ("we like it!"), and learning new material. A brief review: "Rearick and the ManSisters... played a fantastic set of avant-garde pop driven by a keyboard, a drum machine and Rearick's clear, strong voice. ... It's a sound that's hard to pin down, but if pressed, I'd call it a space-age cabaret cacophony." - Capital TimesRead all about it!
