    MULLIGAN’S ISLAND
    I used to walk alone and write
    of all the silly things
    and the pretty light

    I used to lay in fields and feel
    watching clouds disappear

    I watched my parents fight and stole
    from my brothers happy meal

    Jumped from my bed to the open door
    Avoiding monsters on my floor

    I demand a do-over, do-over
    I would like a childhood that's so good
    All the fears that I have been feeling
    I could watch them fade away

    I told stories about werewolves
    living in our closets

    I had nightmares about tiny witches
    chasing me on rockets

    I wanted braces to make me grown up
    in my 3rd grade fantasy

    I thought that no one understood
    except for the boys from Goonies
    I demand a do-over, do-over
    I would like a childhood that's so good
    All the fears that I have been feeling
    I could watch them fade away

    I demand a do-over, do-over
    I would like a childhood that's so good
    All the fears that I have been feeling
    I could watch them fade away

    I demand a do-over, do-ove

ABOUT

People say various things about We Govern We. One of their members thinks it's like Cindy Lauper fronting the Killers. Their local paper describes them as Shiny Toy Guns with a little BitterSweet. Maybe it's La Roux touring with the Bad Seeds, but it doesn't really matter because how can you pigeonhole a band that, after paying tribute to the Pixies and Placebo, names both Duran Duran and Sigur Ross as influences? Maybe it's their unconventional background as their members hail from places as far apart as Alexandroupolis, Greece and Minneapolis, Minnesota and reached California via Prague and Athens.

Anna Karakalou (lead vocals) and Panos Scourtis (lead guitar) cut their teeth in the music industry with various projects before finally finding themselves as fellow band members of internationally acclaimed alternative electronic rockers Sigmatropic, where they got to collaborate with people like Carla Torgerson of the Walkabouts, open for acts like Moby, Sonic Youth, and Nick Cave, and eventually feel ready to do their own thing. The road to the West Coast saw them shooting two music videos, getting offers from various record labels, and arriving to their current incarnation with Luke Manriquez (drums) and Adrian Burke (bass).

The band gigs regularly around the LA Counties area -try the legendary Whiskey A GoGo where they have already played twice. As they near the completion of their first album you might want to pay attention, so you can say you knew of them before they hit it big. After all, if Daniel Ash (Bauhaus, Love & Rockets), who is guiding the production, thinks they are good enough it probably means you should too
