POP
Maggi, Pierce and E.J. still have a farmhouse in Pottsville. But
our favorite quirky alt-pop trio has been "hibernating" in
Sarasota, Fla., for most of this year, working, playing and
riding out the hurricanes.
"We came down here to edit our film with a guy named Frank
Unger," explained E.J., referring to the 35 hours of footage
documenting the group's "Whole Steps Toward Peace" walk from
Philly to Washington, D.C., three years ago (with performance
stops along the way). "We've got a 15-minute version now, and an
even shorter version that we've entered in contests and screen at
our shows. [See a 15-second version at www.mpeband.com.] Now
we're hoping to raise the money to finish the thing."
Back on the road again, with a long European jaunt coming up, the
trio's home to celebrate their seventh studio album, "Live Covers."
"For a change, we're doing other people's material - our favorite
songs by Melanie, the Kinks, Johnny Cash, Lambert, Hendricks &
Ross, Frank Zappa," said EJ. "We recorded it in Berlin, just
after we finished the [triple CD] 'Silver' set. It was done as a
lark, but came out really well," said EJ.
We agree.

Maggi, Pierce, & EJ
http://www.mpeband.com/
Maggi, Pierce And E.J. live in a time capsule. Three pilots and a
dog. They leave pieces of their lives in lines of songs. They
share their music with fans in the U.S, U.K. and Europe playing
at colleges, festivals, listening rooms and clubs. Their live
show is fiery, spontaneous and unforgettable. Their diverse mix
of music borrows from many familiar sources, but combines into
such a unique blend that can only be described as fabulous,
freaky, frothy and fantastic! Recently they were quoted as one of
the best unsigned bands in America (Sun Sentinal-Miami).
MPE's latest original triple album (Silver) was recorded in
Berlin and mixed in the U.S. with Grammy winners Ben Wisch and
Phil Nicolo.
"Hugely eclectic folk-rockers, Maggi, Pierce And E.J. built a
strong grassroots following through constant touring since the
late '90s. Their 7 self-released CD's range from coffeehouse folk
to rootsy rock & roll, country, jazz, pop, and alternative rock.
MPE tie its freewheeling music together with smooth three-part
harmonies and energetic concert performances in which all three
members switch instruments at a dizzying pace."-all music guide
"They're funny yet deep, they cut through yet they're light
hearted and their harmonies and instrument rotation really trips
me out!"
MPE have been selected as one of two Early Bird Finalists in this
year's(2006) Mountain Stage NewSong Contest.

MPE were featured in a syndicated program called "Hipster London"
on the discovery travel channel and their music was part of an
A&E series in 2005. They are now editing a documentary of their
two week, gasoline free, walking tour from Philly to D.C. "Whole
Steps Toward Peace.-aka: Screw the Van." Where they walked 216
miles in 2 weeks (with their dog, Pokey), instruments on backs
and concerts every night.(see 15 second video clip here at
myspace) It was one of the 20% of clips selected as a finalist in
the Tribecca Film contest. MPE have just released a Live Covers
CD in May, 2006 with songs by such artists as Van Halen, David
Bowie, Melanie, Yoko Ono and others. Pierce and E.J. are former
members of the groundbreaking hip-hop band, "The Goats"
(Sony/Columbia).
"Trying to pigeonhole a band's sound is often difficult, but in
this case, impossible. Their Chinese fire-drill instrumentation,
lush harmonies, unshakable melodies and seat of the pants
spontaneity, create one helluva roller coaster ride of a live show!"
"Abba meets Zappa" "Fleetwood Mac meets the Pixies" "Ween meets
Joni Mitchell" "Bette Midler meets Wilco" "Sonic Youth meets the
Beatles" - these are but a few attempts to label what is truly
the magic of Maggi, Pierce And E.J.
