eelwax jesus: Press

"The EelWax Jesus Show cast handed out moon pies and even raffled off a toaster, the kind of game-show-like inducements that are now required of any successful recession-era entertainment. In keeping with the nostalgia theme of this column, the multimedia rock show is described as "part Blue Man Group, part They Might Be Giants," but I'd also throw in William Burroughs, Sesame Street, and a very funny Bavarian weatherman."

Michael Musto - The Village Voice (Jul 15, 2009)

"Trippy. Memorable. Refreshing...An appealingly oddball meditation on commercialism, conformity and paranoia"

Celia Wren - The Washington Post (Jul 14, 2010)

"A divine blend of toe-tapping tunes and shear lunacy. Feral goats would love it!"

Adam Rapp - author and playwright (Nov 13, 2007)

"great music, fine performances and mouthwateringly cynical lyrics"

Tim Treanor - DC Theatre Scene (Jul, 2010)

"Eelwax delivers its mournful, nihilistic philosophy in ironic and often amusing doses of self deprecating humor and absurdist non-sequitors"

Terry Ponick - The Washington Times (Feb 16, 2011)

"Eye-popping! Fabulous, Bizarre, Existential fun!"

The Herald-Mail (Feb 16, 2011)

"I've spent my whole life side stepping religion. Who knew I'd be saved by Eelwax Jesus? They're like the three way love child of Bowie, The Breeders and William S. Burroughs. It's awesome!"

- Jimmi Simpson, actor, LATE SHOW WITH DAVID LETTERMAN, THE FARNSWORTH INVENTION.
