 "Their
musicality and stage presence remind me of the glory days of vaudeville.
Kim and Connie are kind of like the Bert Lahr and Al Jolson of
modern music."
-- Victor De Lorenzo ex-Violent Femmes
MRS.
FUN plays hardcore electra-acid-jazz. Complex, sophisticated and
adventurous, their music is a provocative blend of off-center
jazz, ultra-funk, and spoken word rap. Intelligent lyrics, flawless
musicianship and a dynamic stage presence are hallmarks of their
music. The MRS. FUN sound is derived from Connie Grauer's funky
bass-driven keyboard playing, combined with Kim Zick's aggressive
in-the-pocket drumming. "Grauer is a piano player with few
equals in this town whose drive and energy spills across the stage
and into the audience like nitrous oxide. She's got a left hand
that doesn't quit, the mark of any great pianist, and a right
hand with limitless boundaries." Zick holds court as a "heart-stopping
drummer" whose "grooves get so far out, most people
need a map to get back." Voted Best Contemporary Jazz
Group by the Wisconsin Area Music Industry (WAMI) three consecutive
years, Grauer and Zick have also received WAMI awards for Best
Instrumentalist: keyboard and drums. Grauer has also received
awards for Best Female Vocalist and Best Stage Entertainer.

Mrs.
Fun - Funsville
Funsville,
the band's most recent release, features the "jam band"
side of MRS. FUN. The music for Funsville was recorded
in one afternoon, totally improvised with no preconceived
structure of key signatures, time signatures or chord progressions.
This recording rocks!
