We are The Margaret Hooligans
Meg Cratty (electric ukulele, lead vocals), Mr. Strontium (drums, teapot, back up vocals), forming one band that incorporates garage rock, proto-punk, funk, and soul to create a swirl of sloppy transcendence.
Meg Cratty (electric ukulele, guitar and lead vox) and Mr. Strontium (drums/percussion/teapot and back-up vocals) make music that takes elements of garage, punk, blues, psychedelia, and alternative rock as if it went through a space age blender and emerged as a smoothie. It's new, but familiar, raw, but not naive.
They have been described by Fatea Records as “totally off the wall, and totally brilliant”, and have been accused of subscribing to the ethos of “dada” in their music by Dave Franklin of The Big Takeover. Their single, Red Rider, was declared single of the week by Radio Sylvia in Germany, they have been in AMS Radio’s Top 10 for March/April in 2024, and the word “insane” is used rather liberally when describing their music by reviewers.
They have released three full albums, BoomBox Blasts, Turntable Tribulations, and Saturday Night in Bartertown, and are currently releasing singles from their fourth album, slated to be be released in October 2024. They are both Philadelphia area natives, Mr. Strontium is best known for not giving Jason Bonham speed after his furious drumming performance at the Trocadero with his former band, Latimer, and Meg Cratty is better known under her real name as the woman who invented The Hug Strap for ukulele.
Mr. Strontium’s former band Latimer supported Jack White when he was a drummer for the Goober Peas, borrowed Father John Misty’s second favorite drum kit when he was with the Fleet Foxes, and Portland Oregon’s most revered artist has dubbed him the “thundering hummingbird.”
