For over eight years, Pretty Mighty Mighty has been a
staple in the Midwest music scene. Numerous
releases and extensive touring has won the band
favor with both critics and fans.
Starting in Athens, OH, at Ohio University, guitarist
and vocalist Jonathan Chinn and drummer Neal
Schmitt had been playing together in rock bands
since high school and were looking to build upon this
foundation. Violinist Noel Sayre and singer Cori
Churdar joined Pretty Mighty Mighty as full time
members after originally learning songs to help out
in the studio. One year later, John Fitzgerald was
added on bass, completing a lineup that remained
intact for over four years. The band relocated to
Columbus, OH In 1993. Five releases, hundreds of
shows and thousands of miles later, Churdar left the
group.
Pretty Mighty Mighty plunged heavily into writing and
recording, even developing their own commercial
recording facility, Workbook Studio. The band has
stayed very busy throughout it's entire history...
Releases include: three singles and a full length CD,
"Ugly", on Burnt Sienna Records, one single on
Dayton, Ohio's Simple Solution Records and various
compilations, including A.M.P. (Union/Anyway
Records), I am Thunderbird Sounds of Ohio (Seng
Records) and Burnt and Bent (Burnt Sienna).
Favorable reviews in national magazines like the
College Music Journal, Flipside and especially
Alternative Press has helped introduce the band to
new fans.
Pretty Mighty Mighty has shared the stage with such
notable acts as Scrawl, Babe the Blue Ox, Guided by
Voices, The Dambuilders and The Tragically Hip. The
band has also appeared at various music
conferences, including the Midwest Music Festival in
St. Louis, NEMO in Boston and the CMJ Music
Marathon in New York City. WWCD, WCBE, WFAL
WMUL, and dozens other radio stations across the
country have all supported the band.
Pushing the pop/rock boundaries with innovative
songwriting and textured musicianship, the band has
not stopped growing and expanding. The tight,
enveloping wall of violin infested noise pop the band
creates is a welcomed change. Sonically, the band
has been described as "well crafted indie pop" and "
. . . something classical (popwise) yet innovative . .
." Eerie dissonance, precise rhythm changes and
creative melodies intertwine for a swirling, dynamic
soundscape.
Derailleur Records will released "Famous Past Lives",
the long awaited sophomore CD of Pretty Mighty
Mighty in 1999.
