Michaela Kuenster's father, a pianist and songwriter, cautioned her with sleepless eyes, overflowing ash-trays, empty bottles/pockets, and impending carpal tunnel syndrome to "be a lawyer; be a doctor; learn from my mistakes."
So, of course, she decided to start a band.
Michaela has been falling asleep with the TV on for many years. The result is a catalog of songs - some based on historical fact, most based on historical fiction, and some are simply an outlet for her blinding rage and violent urges.
She likes to write around the key of C, stay within a two-minute time frame, and she loves alliteration.
