It's Coming! Our New EP!

Hey People! How are you? We're good, thanks. Well, we have been making the final touches on our EP and it's almost time to be able to share it with you. We're so excited and hope you will come to the EP release party to celebrate with us and allow us to sing you all the songs from the album as well as some new surprises......

Magical EP Release Party is:

Friday the 13th of April 10pm at Branded Saloon in Prospect Heights (603 Vanderbilt Ave @ Bergen St)

And if you don't live in New York or cannot make it we hope you will still check out the album and download it from Bandcamp.

In the meantime, watch this fun little making of our EP as we journey down South to Virginia to hit the studio:

Business Meeting

The key to success in any relationship is connection and communication. This key will unlock the door to productivity and profit whether that relationship is one of personal, business, or one between two people or even a whole company. Bug and Poppy have been going through a lot of changes. Changes in the present as well as changes upon the horizon. These changes called for a meeting. A business meeting. We connected. We communicated. We captured it to share with you in hopes that you might also find a more creative way to connect, communicate, and ultimately.....succeed. This meeting could not have been made possible without the help of Joni Mitchell, Kate Bush, and the watchful gaze of Neil Young.

Holiday Bonanza! Mythical Legends and Friends

Hello! We were so honored to play the Holiday Party at our favorite Brooklyn shop, Park Delicatessen in Prospect Heights. Seriously, go there and buy some awesome stuff, cause all their stuff is that. Awesome. What else is awesome? Yule. Yule is the original Christmas, the Pagan celebration that honors this dark and cold time of year and brings the light inside. We worked hard to get our song about Yule ready in time for the show, which we did, and would like to share with you. We also performed our explorational movement piece to the classic "Silent Night." Here it is:



'Tis the time of the greatest darkness and the longest night of the year
Vanquish of the Holly King, the god of the waning year
Queen of the cold darkness giving birth to the child of promise
He is reborn of the goddess and the dying Solar year

The Yule wheel turns, the Yule log burns
This Solstice night, bring dark to light
Red and green, White and gold
Cinnamon, Mistletoe....

The sleigh is the Solar chariot, the horns of the horned god
The land of Shadows
Where death in life becomes life in death
We wish ye health and grace
We wish ye health and grace

Holly on the altar, ashes from the pine
Invite brightness inside
Toasts of cider, ale and wine
Ring the bells it's Christmas time...

..and Hannukah too. As well as Kwanzaa.

Thank you to everyone who came out to celebrate with us and to Park Deli for being so rad and to the Universe for bringing it all together. Happy Yule!

Happy Yule!

Hello friends! It's been a while...but we have been hard at work and have something very special to share with you. In honor of this blessed season upon us, we have been inspired by the Holiday classic Silent Night. Everyone knows this song and can sing along, but few dare to capture the true spirit of this song through movement and exploration of space. Until now.....

But it wasn't easy. Dedication. Perseverance. Practice. Beer. For your viewing pleasure, we are also including this video of the dress rehearsal. Why? Because we're Mythical Legends. That's why.

Our gift to you. Happy Holidays!

Pianos 7/12

This is a photo our friend Danielle took at the show last night. We played the upstairs bar at Pianos in the city with our bff's Crawl Babies. It was a really magical night and is such an endless treat to be able to play music for people. We have another show this Friday the 15th at the amazingly wonderful Park Slope bar Freddy's. Come!

Mythical Legends 6/14 show at Lit Lounge

We had a great time playing last night at Lit. There was such a nice vibe in the room. Our beautiful friend Niqui made this movie of our Mermaid song. Here it is!:



Sunlight streaming through the water led me to you
I rise up, you see me the moon is high, you see me

Take me for a swim
go where you go
I follow free
how long I don't know

He doesn't know, he doesn't know
It's a long way down
It's a slow goodbye
It's a long way down
just to say goodbye

For more show details and to see the performances of Doom Trumpet and Thurlow, which are both excellent check out Poppy's blog here!

Video Prep Time!

Behind the scenes getting ready for our City Lover shoot. Can't wait to share it with you guys!

Jerry!

Jerome John "Jerry" Garcia

August 1, 1942 – August 9, 1995

Jerry is one of Mythical Legends first songs ever. It is about Jerry Garcia and his missing finger, which was accidentally chopped off by his brother with an ax when he was 4 yrs old. It is also about Jerry being a Mythical Legend. Legends are real. We've recorded it for you and as a tribute to him. The lyrics are below, so feel free to sing along.

Jerry, Jerry, Jerry

Only your brother knows

where your finger goes

and our love it grows

misunderstood and so alone

writing your songs

and life, it's too long

so we hit the bong and wait

for them to understand,

Jerry it's your plan

and we follow we go

Jerry we wait for you

and in a year or two

Skeletons from the Closet will be shown

Jerry, Jerry, Jerry

Only your brother knows

where your finger goes

and our love it grows

We miss Jerry.

Mythical Legends Back In Action

This is a picture Poppy's mom took of us at our favorite restaurant. We're friends.

Get ready for this video! Bug took the camera for a fun little journey at the Clubhouse to introduce you to all the animals and their crazy ways. She's a professional. Plus a glimpse into a ML jam session as we work on one of our new songs. We're getting ready for our cosmic world tour of the future. You should too.

Music Makin'

We played a show at Trash Bar last night with our friends Mikal Evans and Sarah Renfro, it was a treat to open up for them. Bad ass ladies.

Here are a couple videos of us playing. Flower Song and Color. You can watch them on Poppy's YouTube site too if you like.





Thanks so much to everyone who came, it was nice.

ML Winter Shoot!

Our buddy Eric Luc is a bad ass photographer. We saw some of his beautiful portraits and when he asked if we might want to do a shoot with him we were like........."ummm....yeah."

We all agreed that including night and snow would be a really nice idea for our picture and after a couple reschedules because of crazy schedules and crazy blizzards we finally all met up a couple nights ago in the park and did this:



Tania and I were prepared to be out in the snow and cold for like hours trying to get a good shot, but I'm pretty sure this was the first one he took. After about 5 minutes he was like "Ok, I think we're done; I got it." And we were like "Really? Ok." Then he explained that oftentimes what takes the longest in a shoot is trying to bring the personality out of people and capture the character. Apparently, we don't have this problem so much. Go figure. Happy to share it with you, what do you think?

Our Friends..

At our very first show ever last February we were approached after our set by Hadako who was in New York with her band Girlfriend from Japan. She took a photo with us and said nice things about our music then gave us a cd. They fucking rocked. We recently got back in touch with her to inquire about how things were going for Girlfriend over in Japan. She said she had started a new band called Extra Virgin Soo. They are a girl ninja band. ummm...what? Yeah.



And then this is cool too.



We are working hard guys. Lots of exciting stuff on the Mythical Horizon. We like you.

Dinna is Served

Hi friends. Did you miss us? We missed you. But we're back in action. You know why? Cause we're...............

MYTHICAL LEGENDS!!!!!!!

Just had a really good practice, working on some new songs that we are really excited about. But what's the most exciting right now is sharing this fun dinner story we made tonight with you.

It goes a little something like this y'all:

There once was a butternut squash. He was happy in a pot with his other half who has a garlic for a face instead of an egg. Also, he was hanging out with carrots and cardamom pods. It was great.

But then we had to cut his face open so we could eat him. He was sad.

But we were happy. With Tito. And Speedy's tank. And rad pictures behind us.

And we ate cheese stuffed dates with the rest of our delicious Rioja. And Brad ate opera cake while we talked about the hand limb sex toy that I don't like. But not because it's a sex toy. Because it's just really ugly. But I would never use it either.

Do you like Speedy? He's a handsome turtle.

Bye. talk to you later.

G'naenup a big ol pile of....

We like this. Do you?


It's really hard to hit some of those low notes, we know cause we've been trying....

Ghosts and Dough.......

Hey yo Hey! Bug has been hard at work setting up a Bandcamp account for us and it's pretty much good to go and will be added to as we record more of our songs. But if you want to support our music and have some for your self to listen to. Do it. You can check it out here: Bandcamp/Mythical Legends



On a whole other topic, we played a show at Lit Lounge last night and there was a ghost next to me! Look it's in the picture:


What?!?!?

Comeback Concert at Lit Lounge

Here are some photos from our show Thursday August 26th at Lit. Thanks to everyone who came! All photo's taken by the beautiful Niqui aka Mythical Legends photographer.

Us enjoying Doom Trumpet, friends are family.
There was a fan blowing on me the whole time! It felt nice and added some serious atmosphere.
Bug. (and Pappy)
Us.

Fun Times.

Our Block

If you could have any celebrity living on your block, which ones would you choose? We are heavily discussing the situation and it's pretty tough. There is so much to take into consideration. So much. Bug says: "Good neighbors, I just want people who are going to be good neighbors." It's true. It is. This is the ten we've come up with on the fly:

*Meryl Streep
*Little Richard
*Whoopi Goldberg
*Mos Def/Method Man (there was a lot of discussion about this, there was a trade. That's why it's written differently)
*Bill Murray
*Diane Rehm
*David Letterman
*Beyonce
*neil Young (aka god)
*Jet Li

Fun Game.

Ninja Karate

So when we found this one building in Williamsburg that had this cool piece of art we went in to check it out. Then we walked on down the hall.........
And found a magical elevator that took us to an abandoned still under construction rooftop penthouse where we hung out and tagged our name in rocks and did this.....Ninja karate:





Want to roll with us? Yeah you do. Notice how in Bug's karate video there are some rocks lined up by her feet....they spell Mythical Legends like this when we wrote it. What a beautiful day!
