MISSTALLICA
Named One of Gibson.com’s 5 All-Girl Tribute Acts You Can’t Miss
Jonah
Bayer, Gibson.com
“Sure,
there are plenty of classic rock cover bands — but for some reason we never get
sick of seeing all-female groups tackle songs by some of rock’s most
testosterone-driven acts. [Misstallica is one of] five of our favorite
superstars who have come together to prove that women can’t just rock harder
than men, they can also replicate their songs so flawlessly that if we close
our eyes we can’t tell the difference.”
Flowing Hair? Tight Pants? Women Can Rock That
Amanda Petrusich, The New York Times
"Misstallica played harder, faster than the words "tribute band" might imply. There was no one there who did not appear wholly satisfied. Their eyes were bright with bliss."
Misstallica
Kills ‘Em All in Brooklyn
Elliot
Levin, NY Hard Rock Music Examiner.com
“Perhaps
most impressive of all is just how damn good Misstallica is - from the first chugging
notes of The Four Horsemen to the final evil laughs of Master of Puppets, the band
pummeled, shredded, and absolutely nailed everything that makes Metallica synonymous
with chest-thumping, car-crashing, headbanging heavy metal… Short of a time
machine, this is hands down the best Metallica show available in 2011, and
hopefully returning to New York City in the near future.”
A
Little Act Named MISSTALLICA
Ken
Pierce, PiercingMetal.com
“I had to
give [Misstallica] credit for kicking the ass that they were kicking and how
they really
kept the technical structure and melodies of these tunes in place. [They were] having as
much fun playing these songs as the audience was having listening to them.”
Metal
is Man's Music No More; Misstallica are Masters of Mayhem
Jeremy
Kay
“About 5
minutes in you forget the whole kitsch factor and just revel in pure Evil. [Misstallica]
played Metallica better than Metallica...the audience was going nuts, headbanging,
rushing the stage, everything. I knew I grew my hair long for a reason.”
Rock N
Roll Experience: MISSTALLICA
Bob
Suehs, Rock N Roll Experience
“Misstallica
owned the hell outta EVERYTHING they played! What makes Misstallica a little
more interesting is that it's 4 cute females who play spot-on Metallica covers,
note for note,
the guitar solo's are pretty much identical, the rhythm parts are perfect, the bands
drummer is actually better than Lars Ulrich these days!”

2009: Day Five 'Best Of'
Elizabeth
Raftery, Blast Magazine
“Philadelphia
quartet Misstallica offered note-by-note replications of early Metallica classics.
Lead guitarist Gigi Gleason made Kirk Hammet’s brain-melting guitar solos look
effortless. For anyone who can’t afford a high-priced stadium ticket to see
Metallica nowadays, these girls are a worthy substitute.”
MISSTALLICA
at The Parish
Ian
Morales, Red River Noise Webzine
“Dawned
in all black, the female quartet stepped onto the stage with the full
confidence and
swagger any black t-shirt rock group should have. As they began to play, their confidence
was totally justified.”

[Misstallica]
nailed the carpal tunnel-inducing rhythms down with brutal precision as their
drummer Kaleen Reading pounded away on her kit, riding the crap out of the
double bass
until I thought it might burst….. bass player Teddi Tarnoff held down the
low-end crunch…..
lead guitarist Gleason really stole the show, tearing through every classic
lick and solo
with a grimace befitting a deranged serial killer. It’s scary a band this young
can be this
damn good.
Misstallica
is No Miss-Take; These Chicks Rock
D.E.
Ferraris. Avalon Theatre
“Misstallica
is no miss-take; these chicks rock, putting on a show perfect for metal heads, the
metal-curious, and anyone who loves loud, raucous rock.”
“Misstallica;
I haven't seen men behave like this since Larry Flynt”
