New York,USA 2007

Since forming in the summer of 2007, The Electric Mess has developed into a tight and exciting live rock and roll band, led by an androgynous and dynamic lead singer. Featuring reverb-drenched guitars, fuzz bass, and Farfisa organ, the combine British invasion, 60's garage-punk, futuristic surf rock, psychedelic pop, and early R&B stylings.

Their self-titled debut album, featuring "You've Become a Witch," "Trash Talkin' Woman,"
and "She Has a Funny Walk," received excellent reviews and made many "best of 2010" lists. All 13 tracks have been heard on radio stations both in the U.S. and internationally, including Rodney Bingenheimer's "Rodney on the ROQ" (KROQ, Los Angeles), "Little Steven's Under-ground Radio Show" (Sirius/XM), and "Nights with Alice Cooper" (syndicated radio show).

Shindig!: "There are a wide range of influences, including British Invasion, 60's garage, R&B, and psych, but it sure ain't a mess... a very tight unit with bunch of strong tunes
possessing a fine, melodic edge. This is a fine debut."

All-Music Guide: "**** of 5 stars: "(The Electric Mess) have the vintage approach and feel, they can write great songs, and the band isn't afraid to hit ‘em hard and make their music move... Anyone who wonders if there's anything left to be said on the garage revival scene
ought to give The Electric Mess' debut a listen."

In 2011, Rowed Out Records (UK) issued "You've Become a Witch/Trash Talkin' Woman" on 7" and "You've Become a Witch" was featured on the CD/LP compilation "Hipsters Vol. 3" on Acid Jazz Records (UK), May, 2012.

Shindig!: "The Electric Mess? Nothing could be further from the truth! Fronted by the mercurial vocal talents of androgynous lead singer Esther Crow aka Chip Fontaine and backed by four intuitive musicians... the New York City-based outfit produce tight, inventive, white knuckle ride garage-punk."

In May, 2013, The Electric Mess had their first European tour, playing 7 shows across Spain and Portugal to great, receptive audiences, and there is lots of interest for the band to return to Europe.
