The scoldees are
Nancy
Sirianni (guitar/vocals),
Jack Hoffmann
(guitar/vocals) and John Collis
(percussion/vocals), who
have been courageously joined by Glen Saunders
on
electric and acoustic bass and by Ethan Meixsell
on lead
guitar. Their sound is an eclectic acoustic mix, an organic
fusion of rich voices, fluid bass and earthy percussion that has
been called everything from progressive to pop.

IT'S A
'NIGHTCAP WORLD' FOR THE SCOLDEES
WITH
LONG-AWAITED SOPHOMORE CD RELEASE
"Just
one listen will tell you that they not only excel at what they do, but that they have fun doing it." -
FRIDAY MORNING QUARTERBACK
LONG ISLAND,
N.Y. -- Three
years since their widely acclaimed debut CD drew an
overwhelming response throughout the industry, the scoldees are back for a
well-earned nightcap with their sophomore release,
NIGHTCAP WORLD, on their nationally
distributed Off Hour Rockers label.
NIGHTCAP
WORLD, available in stores nationwide Feb. 4, 2003, is the long-awaited
follow-up to the band's 2000 release, My Pathetic Life, and the latest
example of the progressive quartet's diverse musical sensibilities and quirky sense of fun. The
scoldees' musical roots
have undoubtedly grown from a hybrid seed,
each song having its own refreshing, distinct clarity and allure.
The songwriting draws from the band's own crossroads of voice, sentiment
and humor to inflect an acoustic sound that is often raw with simplicity,
yet filled with complex emotion.

bands but Fleetwood Mac could begin an album with four tracks as strong as
the first four here." - All Music Guide
"The
Scoldees grab the moment in the air after the lights dime and the
cigarette smoke in the air collects in front of the stage with wispy tunes
ready to capture your imagination. ... We see the best of this
well-rounded quartet with wafting melodies and supple singing by a gifted
(Nancy) Sirianni." - College Times
