meerkat - empty nesting doll

our band is called meerkat & we play various instruments from the synthesizer to the donkey to the guitar and between and around.

we are four strong. zoë performs most live things and writes melodic information. oh she also does all the sound design but emma handles our more technical engineering. emma is our lead producer and percussion theorist. annelise writes most of the lyrics when zoëanna gets excited about a concept but writes a play in 433 acts by accident; zoë is the biggest idiot i know and i know three people. there happy? -sophie

sheesh sophia, i said tell it like it is not be really really mean to me and get me all turned on.

oh right: and sophie is our manager in studio and on tour. & she’s our substance sponsor. without her we would’ve run out years ago.

(ugh. sign stuff yourselves!!! -annelise)
-zoë

i had no idea i get lead songwriter credits, what an extremely mild honour! we're a really adept, obviously-long-initiated, coven of elderly/eternally-young witches. i thought i was the game designer. ok the word "game" woke emma. f'ck me -- i mean, yay! damn dvorak board.

-annie

oh the public gets free jokes but me and zoë have to wager "the non-broken state of your arms" -- real nice annie. wait, what is this for? if this doesn't stop our fanbase from growing i'm not interes -- lol i was trying to record video of annelise shivering with perceived ickyness -- she's very fast and also plays something but i can't remember what. it might be our string parts? she's a prodigy. zoë can play them too though and with my production you won't know the difference, but that's because you're an idiot! you get it. oh wait, you don't! that's okay, here's an alternative bio:

we make pop music that will impress your friends!
