About

  • Briefly known as the Jug Band Ghost Band, then JBGB's before settling on the Blue Fairy Godmothers moniker.
  • "[The] Blue Fairy Godmothers are 90-proof pop music, and their debut [the Popgun EP]... is the music equivalent of a summer popcorn movie with a fresh take on the car chase kicking off the third act, with Ben Folds as the optimistic LAPD detective trying to catch a Blue Album-era Weezer who've made off with his piano licks. And, good Lord, it's fun as hell. 'Popgun' is the feel good hit of the same summer you dumped that body into the lake; Rivers Cuomo hates himself for letting someone else beat him to writing 'How Much Of A Jerk'; and 'Just Let it Happen' is like pure, guilt-free casual sex, with Bernie Taupin furiously taking notes in your closet. The Godmothers make absolutely no apologies for spending their waking hours searching for the perfect melody, and they should treat the idea of doing so like it's a spinal tap... their maiden recording is better than the pop haters deserve, and exactly what the rest of us need in the moments before the room starts spinning and you realize how much you missed your radio." Chris Rausch, Associate Music Editor for the HPR.
