The band My-Tea Kind hails from Tahlequah, Oklahoma. Three sisters and one guy create a truly original mix of music: singer/songwriter troupe with new gypsy, funky folk, art rock, and international flair. Bonnie Paine leads with silky singing and nimble-fingered washboard beats. Sarah Garde accompanies on drums, Annie Paine on bass (the 3 women grew up together, evident in their musical connectivity). James Townsend brings it together with guitars and the male vocals. All play together and harmonize for one sound.

They have a brand-new self-titled CD release, from which we debuted the MTK protest song, “Knights Of The Underworld” on our radio show last week for the 4th of July. It’s an eclectic and different album! 6 songs from the CD were included in the FM broadcast today, plus the 5 live in-studio versions of songs that also appear on the compact disc. We’ll be sure to play more tracks on Honest Tunes Radio.

My-Tea Kind played a set of live music, in the Honest Tunes Radio studios at KXUA Fayetteville, 88.3 FM in Northwest Arkansas, and on our live webcast Sunday July 9th, 2006, at 2PM Central Time. They played 5 songs with acoustic and electric instruments including washboard, electric guitar and bass, and snare drum. I was able to record the show using the iRiver T10, for an mp3 podcast. Check back soon in our Podcast section (or refresh this post).

Some of the questions on the interview include… the history of the band and the 3 sisters, instrumentation, their hometown of Tahlequah and the venue Roxie’s Roost, MTK’s impressions of Fayetteville and the band’s local cheerleaders, singing in French, the conotations of being knights of the underworld, “My-Tea Kind” the new self-titled album, and how the band’s name is spelled.

    Which songs would you request from My-Tea Kind’s new CD?

    Courtney said to me: It’s was super hard for me to pick my favorite songs on my-tea kind’s cd. I love all of their music, but I have finally managed to single out a few songs. Tracks 1 and 5 seem to be the “hits” of the album. Those are the ones I hear everyone talking about. Track 1 is called Let Go, and tractk 5 is Les Chants Joyeaux. I personally really like Track 3 Angel in Red. I love Bonnie’s voice, and I think this song displays her talent quite well. Silver Streams track 10 is also a good one, but I’m not sure radio listeners would be able to appreciate it. It’s a like a gypsy lullaby. James won a local Tahlequah poetry contest with the lyrics to that song. Knights of the Underworld (track 6) is mtk’s protest song if you’re looking for something along those lines.
