RUMOURS  "May 9, Nightlight—Led by Missy Thangs' lithe croon, her team of local ringers (Hotel Motel, Erie Choir, Spacelab) forge elegant, psych-tinged pop with a cabaret air. Kurt Weill found unconscious on the Left Banke with Nancy Sinatra boot prints cross his back, perhaps?" - oooh elegant.. Indy Weekly 

"SOFT COMPANY
This female-fronted Chapel Hill sextet makes keyboard-centered pop that canters and sways to folksy jangle and Brit Invasion bounce. It's a well-crafted sound aided by an all-star lineup of locals, including members of Hotel Motel, Audubon Park, Erie Choir and Razzle. 10:45 p.m. —CP Indy Weekly

  "This is part of Night Two of the Troika Music Festival. Soft Company are my current fave New Band of 2007, with their Roxy Music freakout vibe. Show up in time to catch Dan Bryk's witty, acid-tongued piano-pop." - Trianglerock.com


Whether Soft Company agrees or not... Indie we love you.(Yeasayer was awesome...)
"01.17 YEASAYER/ MGMT @ LOCAL 506: Baltimore/ Brooklyn back-and-forths Yeasayer brandish a few dozen sounds you may love—gamelan, screeching Neil Young, keyboard-float Pink Floyd, arena rock monstrosity and so forth—in a diluted distillation that's at turns ineffective or irksome. Sonically, Yeasayer isn't far removed from the Technicolor melodic phases of TV on the Radio or the hard rhythm-versus-smeared sound technique of Animal Collective, but its apocalyptic images emerge from its sonic mess without much punch. For bloggers, this may be "out music." I'd rather stay in. Same for MGMT, New York nothings with major-label moneys who fall in the same why-does-this-matter genus. Chapel Hill's Soft Company is the better band on the bill."  — GC Indie Weekly

"Keep ears ready for these bands next year, as they were welcome, unexpected additions in 2008: THE SOFT COMPANY, MAX INDIAN, RICHARD BACCHUS + THE LUCKIEST GIRLS, HAMMER NO MORE THE FINGERS and VIOLET VECTOR & THE LOVELY LOVELIES." - IndyWeek

LIVE SHOW REVIEW    Troika, November 2, 2007: 

"Soft Company. Used to be Missy Thangs... I do love the band. Mostly I love Missy Thangs. She is frequently out of tune, perfectly so, and her rich tone and her hair flying and tapping leg, all add up to pure appeal. The band is so talented musically, been around this block a few times in other bands, each adds a layer of sound, but in Broad Street it was really, really loud. Lots of people actually had their hands over their ears, but they stayed front row anyway. My favorite song is this warbly funhouse almost funereal romp called something about a diamond. The men of the band look a little bored, but their sweat gives them away." - the wall fly
