Love with a Side of Fries

• Tracklisting

Hi, we're Power Salad and we do funny songs...but with thought-out lyrics and musically adventurous settings - no band-in-a-box or morning-show-parody-du-jour here, folks! We do, however, do funny songs in wildly varying styles, some recognizable, some 'Wha?' We were the #1 requested artist on the legendary 'Dr. Demento Show' in 2008, with our ELO pastiche 'Hold On, I've Got To Take This', which has been described as 'the most beautiful song ever written about a cell phone being shoved up an orifice'. We're also the culprits behind the viral Internet hits 'My Cat is Afraid of the Vacuum Cleaner' (which alternates between a 1940's cartoon theme style and horrific alien or serial killer sound effects, while the singer keeps on singing) and 'Our Old Cartoon Animals' (performed in a somewhat collegiate style of old), the latter of which appears on our latest album 'Love With a Side of Fries'. If you're into fan conventions, chances are you'll see performing member Chris Mezzolesta holding forth on stage and doing very strange things while people in the audience cheer. Chris is also a professional voice actor/narrator (last heard saying 'Uh-Oh!' in the Kaopectate TV commercial), while lyricist and evil mastermind Craig Marks pretends to be a hospital computer guy when not plotting the next assault on humdrum and sanity. Power Salad is, well, I guess it's 'anything but'.
