See the documentary about Kate Here!"
Two Way Radio is a unique, piano-driven rock band from Memphis, TN that combines simple pop melodies with intricate instrumental and vocal arrangements. Lead vocalist and pianist Kate Crowder, along with her husband/bassist Corey Crowder and guitarist Andrew McColgan, formed the band as Walkie Talkie in 2003, when all three were sharing a house together. After playing and writing together as a trio for a short time, veteran musican Joey Pegram was added on the drums, thus solidifying the band's rhythm section. Time passed, more new members were added (keyboardist Joe McClusky and guitarist J.D. Reager), and the band was forced to change it's name to Two Way Radio after a legal dispute with another band called Walkie Talkie in California. Their 2006 debut release on Makeshift, Residential Llama, was well received locally and regionally, and the band is currently hard at work on their first national release. With Scott Bomar at the helm (as producer) and Ardent Studios' generous donation of studio time for the record--their album is due out in late Spring/early Summer of 2009.
"Blending lush Brian Wilson-ish pop with the bossa-nova beat and dreamy female vocals of Os Mutantes, these guys sound like nothing else in Memphis. Unpretentious and perfect, Two Way Radio is a sonic treat." - the Memphis Flyer, 2005
"The band's sound is lush and layered both in the studio and on stage, and their songs are dense, often whimsical, and, in a tradition that runs from the Beach Boys through Neutral Milk Hotel, often structured like mini-symphonies." - the Commercial Appeal, 2006
