Ambrosia Parsley

Ambrosia Parsley
Ambrosia Parsley is a New York singer and songwriter best known for her work as the principal songwriter and front woman for pop noir trailblazers Shivaree. "Goodnight Moon," from the band's 1999 Capitol debut, "I Oughtta Give You a Shot in the Head for Making Me Live in This Dump," topped the Italian pop chart for 8 weeks, served as the end title in Quentin Tarrantino's "Kill Bill 2," and provided the sultry backdrop for one of the most unforgettable scenes in Oscar winning "Silver Linings Playbook." Parsley wrote and performed a subversive, comic take on the weekly news for "Unfiltered" (hosted by Rachel Maddow, Lizz Winstead and Chuck D) on Air America Radio in the run-up to the 2004 election. She's worked with Laurie Anderson, Benjamin Biolay, Angela McCluskey, Paul Cantelon, Joe Henry, Sex Mob, Dave Sitek, and Hal Wilner, while her songs have been licensed for film, television and advertising in more than a dozen countries around the world.

The Elegant Too
The Elegant Too are the music production team of Chris Maxwell and Phil Hernandez. They began working together in 1998 when Phil, freshly divorced from Grammy award winning Brave Combo, was working as a drummer/DJ in New York City. He approached Capitol recording artists Skeleton Key in which Chris was writing and playing guitar to do a remix for their upcoming release. They began writing songs and playing live shows on the lower east side as well as collaborating on remixes for such artists as P-Diddy, Mace and The Lox. It wasn’t long before Chris’ old label, Capitol, was throwing production projects at them. The ?rst rabbit out of the hat was the Shivaree album “I Ought To Give You A Shot In The Head For Making Me Live In This Dump” whi*ch went platinum in Italy as well as gold in France and Portugal. Other projects came over the next couple of years: Yoko Ono, Ray Davies, John Cale, They Might Be Giants, Jon Spencer’s Blues Explosion as well as others. With these credits as well as award winning sound design work and original music for film and TV, the boys seem to have managed to ?nd a nice way to occupy their time until their next show.
