BIOGRAPHY · PRESS · LINKS Alternative Press, January 2006 GQ, January 2006 New York Times, January 2006 Playboy, January 2006 Rolling Stone, January 2006 Rolling Stone, January 2006 Giant, January 2006 Nylon, January 2006 Entertainment Weekly, December 2005 Hit Parader, November 2005 XLR8R Magazine, October 2004 Paper, August 2005 "At a recent gig at Piano's that coincided with her 22nd birthday, lead singer Chantal broke down in front of the stunned audience screaming at her friends in attendance 'you only bought me a TV because my mom died'. Minutes later she was simulating sex with a naked Japanese girl and had the usually staid hipster crowd dancing up a sweat and hanging on her every word. This is the new shit and you'd better listen." The Face - May 2004 "Although they may find themselves pigeonholed as just another hipster Williamsburg band, Morningwood's blend of kooky songs and solid rock tunes have infectious hooks and melodies that elevate them beyond the hype. Cutesy lead singer Chantal, who will charm your pants with her sweet and heavy vocals, has a raucous stage presence. With crowd-favorite "Take Off Your Clothes" having recently been opted for a TV commercial, Morningwood proved that they are more than ready to fill the feature presentation slot." www.blender.com "I was in film school, planning on being a director. I really wanted to direct music videos. I never thought that I could get paid to make music. I didn't even know that I could sing rock. I did use to sing blues when I was younger. But, I never knew that my voice could do the things that it does now. I was just planning on being a failed director and live on my mother's money till i got out of school." www.elitestv.com "The morningwood sound is one that will grab you and force you to stop being so serious. a sound that'll make you move, and break the cardinal rules of not standing too close to the stage, and trying not to have too much fun. there's something incredible happening, something very endearing. something pleasantly devilish, and striking. with a maniacal electric-driven prowess, these guys are a foursome that play loud, hard and make no apologies. as anyone would tell you, if nothing else, they make you want to fuck." www.hardglitter.com "One of the hottest band's changing the New York Soundscape" New York Magazine "And who wouldn't love Chantal's sassy performances with Morningwood? A New York City rock chick who's done a lot of livin' despite her young age, Chantal works the stage like she's on top of the world...Morningwood's music-keeps kicking, moving forward with belligerence and a smile." www.soundgirl.com "Lead singer Chantal Claret is the most charismatic front-woman I've seen since Carole King pissed in her guitar at Max's Kansas City in 1976." www.yaleherald.com "I have seen the future of Rock and Roll and it is Chantal, Timo, Pedro and Japa. They are nice kids and I can say wholeheartedly that Morningwood are my new favorite NYC rock band ... (They) rocked in a way that out sexed Prince at his sexiest, it was as if pure rock and roll essence was being generated in their groins." Robert Johnson, The Knitting Factory "Morningwood are an energetic and impressive bunch that have certainly speant lots of time with their Buffalo Daughter, Le Tigre and Breeders records, but not so much as to let in infringe on their own innovative sound and style." Village Voice "Morningwood is like springtime in my pants" Lesley Arfin, Vice Magazine
