Disclaimer We at Merry Picnic have an irrational, near fanboyish love of Miracle Legion, Polaris, and Mark Mulcahy himself. Ciao, My Shining Star (the covers album produced in honor of his late wife, Melissa) was one of 2009’s best releases and the record release party at Toad’s in New Haven was one of 2009’s better shows. Any concert featuring the lead singer of Polaris on stage with both Big Pete and Little Pete (Mike Maronna & Danny Tamberelli) is a dream come true for anyone who grew up on 90s Nickelodeon. In fact, we would like make a formal request that Mark tour soon, so we can get the live experience that we’ve been deprived of these last two years. Expect features on further albums and upcoming shows as they (hopefully) come up.I wrote that soon after Merry Picnic's inception, wholly planning on getting to more posts sooner than now. Giving Ciao, My Shining Star a listen for the first time in some time reminded me of how many truly great tunes Mulcahy and his former bands have put out over the years. We'll be featuring more tunes in the coming posts, but here's the late Vic Chesnutt's haunting take on the Miracle Legion original "Little Man".
