Press

““Madison band The No And Maybe Game made a strong emergence in 2009 as a confetti-blasted, new-wave costume party, so The A.V. Club can only imagine how the manic yelping of guitarist-vocalist Educational Davis and band will trumpet the new year in. The band's album Survival, Evasion, And Escape combines spastic funk guitar, snapping rhythms, and nervous howling, playing like the sassiest b-side collection the '77 Talking Heads never penned.””

— The Onion's Madison A.V. Club

"It’s not your average rock show. Seeing them play live is an experience you won’t soon forget."

— Darwin Ward, Dane101.com

"If you wish you were ringing in 1979 instead of 2009, check out a set by this herky-jerky dance-punk band, whose frenetic guitar work and urgent singing sound like Talking Heads before they discovered world music."

— The Isthmus

"As The A.V. Club stared at the artwork of The No And Maybe Game’s debut album Survival Evasion And Escape (recorded under the band's previous name, Shanghai Party Boss), we had to wonder if this album really came from the same mysterious art-punk outfit that howled, chirped, blasted confetti, and spastically danced through an animalistic live set at The Frequency back in July? Or was this a crummy 1998 frat-rock compilation that our roommate got shafted with in last year’s secret-Santa exchange? Luckily, the anxious opening strums of “Panic” pleasantly assured us that we had the right album."

— Joel Shanahan, The Onion's Madison A.V. Club

“Jessica Steinhoff: "If you could be any musician, living or dead, who would it be?" -- TNAMG: "The 1985 Chicago Bears. Who hasn't dreamt of being a football player, rapper or berry-gobbling mammal?" ”

— Jessica Steinhoff, The Isthmus

"The band put out an album, Survival Evasion And Escape, shortly before changing its name to The No and Maybe Game. Songs like “Let Me Party” and “The Stops” come on pretty wiggy, following through with an eccentric catchiness. The herkyjerky, David Byrne-inspired vocals and lyrics and the band members’ nicknames (Educational Davis, Danny Vacation) only add to that air of silly weirdness. Fortunately, The No and Maybe Game’s nervous energy translates to some pretty fun tunes.”
