Get a sitter for the kids, get a sedative for dad and get a purse full of dough because it's time for mom's night out! Somewhere between soccer and psychosis, at the intersection of motherhood and madness comes the world's greatest all-moms garage band, The Mydols!

At an unlikely gathering of friends at a Memorial Day 2002 picnic, four suburban Detroit (where else?) moms watch as their husbands smoked cigars, talked sports and chased around their hopped-up-on-sugar kids and thought, "yeah, this can't be it". Having heard of an all-moms "battle of the bands" to take place on Mother's Day, 2003, and with some prodding from friends and colleagues, The Mydols were born. Of course, it didn't matter that nobody knew how to play an instrument; it was full speed ahead and never mind the laundry! That Fall, folks around town began to see posters at gas stations, restaurants, soccer fields, bars, bus stations, jails, firehouses and daycare centers announcing mom's night out shows by The Mydols. That's right. With only a couple of months to learn and almost master their instruments and style, The Mydols began playing out.

By January 2003, The Mydols started to hit the clubs and began to play alongside other Detroit acts. It didn't matter -- punk, surf-a-billy, garage, alt- these suburban white bread mothers held their own with bands like The Ruiners, Peter Torque, Inside Five Minutes, Snake Out, Chapstik and Seattle's Bloodhag, sugaring up hard-core audiences at some of metro Detroit's most notable venues such as The Lager House, The Magic Stick, Small's, the notorious Old Miami and Ann Arbor's Blind Pig. And it doesn't stop there. The Mydols toured with Norwegian rockers, The Launderettes, were guests on the Mitch Album Show,competed in Little Steven's Battle of the bands, appeared on the TODAY SHOW and CBS EARLY MORNING and were featured in the WALL STREET JOURNAL and numerous other newspapers.

Want some of that sweet mama sugar for yourself? Just ask nicely. After 6 months of stuffing their kids with pop tarts while they rehearsed ad nauseam - just kidding (not about the pop tarts though) - they managed to bamboozle the legendary Lenny Puch (Snake Out, Gories, Nine Pound Hammer, Elvis Hitler) into producing them and in November 2003 The Mydols released two mini-cds. If you're looking for technical proficiency, you've come to the wrong place. What you will hear are rocking riffs and cool lyrics about a fabulous bra, suburban motherhood and allowing your kid to say a "bad word" every once and awhile. And, yes, a few mistakes which, as Tim Pak who recorded them put it, "shows the humanity" . Here are four moms just having a great time playing some killer original songs. And if you don't like it, you can go to your room and pick up your clothes! Does Mommy have to do all the work around here?

The Mydols are:

Kara Rasmussen - vocals

Judy Davids - guitar

Paige Gilbert - bass/vocals

Pat Mcgough Wujcik - drums
