      I just got the CD in the mail. I haven't gotten to listen to it yet but I just wanted to say that the album art and the art on the CD itself look AMAZING. Seriously, I just keep staring at the cover. Are you guys considering selling posters with that image?

The Lisps are a New York-based assemblage of 21st century humans. They are most accurately described as the public/performative version of all the relationships you're struggling with.

The Lisps have formed, deformed and reformed over the last 3 years. They are an ever changing body of genius behavior. Like the mythic phoenix rising from the ashes of oblivion The Lisps are endlessly entertaining to themselves and their friends. Sometimes they argue with each other but they almost always agree to disagree and/or validate each others' point of view. The lisps have been on 2 humongous national tours and wowed thousands of Pro-American and Anti-American Americans with their outrageous live performances. They released their debut EP "The Vain, the Modest and the Dead" in 2006, their full-length album, "Country Doctor Museum" in January of 2008 and "Are we at the Movies?" in April 2011. The Lisps are currently working on their original musical "FUTURITY" which is the classic American tale of a Civil War soldier who is an aspiring Science-Ficton writer. "FUTURITY" debuted at the Zipper Factory in January 2009, with subsequent sold-out performances at Joe's Pub at the Public Theater, The Rudyard Kipling in Louisville Kentucky, and at HERE Arts. The Lisps will be world premiering "FUTURITY" at American Repertory Theater (A.R.T) in Spring of 2012, followed by a developmental residency at the Walker Arts Center in Minneapolis.
