| Who | Mad Tea Party with Over A Cardboard Sea |
| When |
Saturday, August 1, 2009
|
| Where |
538 Congress St
Portland, ME, USA 04101 |
| Other Info | Based in Asheville, NC, Mad Tea Party brews up rock 'n' roll, retro-pop and honky tonk to create something like "B-52s meets Buddy Holly with a lot more thump." Delicious harmonies glide over electrified ukulele, juke-joint guitar, scratchy fiddle and pulsing foot percussion. Catchy songs about love, life, sex and dancing are steeped in raw rockabilly with shreds of doo wop and devilish blues. Portland's premier vaudevillian tricksters, Over A Cardboard Sea, play the ol' tymey jams to open the night. |

Only a band like Over A Cardboard Sea could get away with musical farting solos, but they pull it off perfectly. This is their first ever official music video!

Let the music speak for itself! Come on down to the Tower of Song and get your copy of Over A Cardboard Sea’s free mix CD! (the band lands right in the middle of the festival, playing at 3:05pm).
What was the most unusual place you’ve ever played music in?
1. I Do Like To Sing In My Bath by Alfred Lester (1920)
2. Since We Put A Radio Out In The Hen House by The Hoosier Hot Shots (1941)

What is the most mysterious album you own?
Quiz Alert!
Here’s one that’s sure to stump almost everyone! Come down to the booth and grab a copy of this mix CD, and listen to these two tracks. The first person to guess who the performer is will win a copy of our new album! Send your replies to our myspace page: www.myspace.com/sailingoveracardboardsea. Both of these songs were recorded in 1968 (the dates denote the year of composition). Good luck!
4. Mame (1966)

The Mills Brothers sound like they’re playing with a full band, but they are actually making those horn sounds with their mouths! Incredible!

7. Oh, Mister Dream Man, Please Let Me Dream Some More by Ada Jones (1912)
