Vivian Sarratt and Edmond Hallas worked together on several projects before
forming Mommy and Daddy in June 2002. Their formula is simple: when she
sings and pushes buttons, he plays bass guitar. When he sings and hits the
machine, she is on bass. Live, the duo rips it up, "like baby tigers on
Ritalin" (Drowned in Sound) no matter what they're doing.

The band has released two critically acclaimed 7 inch singles and one
full-length, ingeniously titled Live How You Listen on Big Cat Records (UK
only).

Kanine Records, big fans of Mommy and Daddy for ages (see Next Wave
compilation), was super-psyched to be putting out their first proper US
release, Fighting Style Killer Panda. The EP received great press and Ed and
Viv toured with bands such as Static Age,United States of Electronica,
Chariots, and Eyes Like Knives. Their next album was recorded before they
set out on tour; Duel at Dawn, a full-length will be released Sept. 27th.

After releasing their EP Fighting Style Killer Panda earlier this year, the
curiously named duo Mommy and Daddy is quickly sapping the demand for more
with the full length Duel at Dawn (Kanine). Continuing where their EP left
off, their punk-party sound is laced with sing-a-long choruses,
mini-intervals of shouting and the catchy clap along interludes that force
you to smile and shake. Duel at Dawn, however, also has a slightly darker
edge, heightening the dirtiness, the intensity of the vocals, and the fuzzy,
jagged base lines, quickly proving that their music is infectious,
eccentric, and difficult to turn off. For fans of: Le Tigre, PiL, The Faint
or Yeah Yeah Yeahs.

Mommy and Daddy
"Duel at Dawn"

"On gothed-out punk-rock anthems...Ed Hallas channels classic Johnny Lydon
P.I.L. freak-outs over hummable hooks. Elsewhere, Vivian Sarrat takes over
vocal duties and the spirit of Siouxsie. This one is for fans of that old
school, heavy, bass-driven darkness like the Fall, Sisters of Mercy and
Curve." Filter Magazine

"Duel at Dawn's end result is a party rocking invitation that curious
listeners can't help but feel compelled to accept" Rockpile

"**** MAD kick out the jams" Urb

"Latest take on dark dance music more closely resembles heavy rock from the
'70s than the angular new wave that everyone else is playing....the result
is a true ass kicker as well as a hell of an ass shaker" Giant Robot
