Smart power pop meets sensitive singer-songwriter,
comes out of the closet and gains requisite political
angst and cynical wit, then forms an all-girl,
all-lesbian, all-awesome band.
The Pushovers (formerly Thomasina and the Jam) are a Smart-Pop Folk Rock band based in
Washington, DC and Baltimore. All seasoned singer-songwriters, Mara, Nancy and Liz sing
tight backing vocals, beat box, and breakdance. OK, only Nancy breakdances, and that
sometimes ends her up at the ER.
The band has a full guitar, bass, and keyboard sound, and lots of 3-part harmonies.
All three musicians have solo careers that involve nationwide touring with their own music.
In 2008 they joined together and have played colleges, festivals and venues from
San Francisco to NYC.
