Underdog amongst the underdogs, people either love or hate this music. Ear to the ground radio fans who are suppose to be "in the know" haven't been quite sure how to categorize Mazzei's music. Reviews range from people who say they are "songs that won't get out or your head" and "elegant vocal stylings" all the way to the other side with comments about the banality of the lyrics to delusions of deep thinking. Hmmm. What's a writer to do?
Hence, Jean Mazzei and Flying Venus have released the CD "Wild Heart Girl" to an unsuspecting world. Often compared to Blondie, the B-52's, and the Pretenders, FV's sugary pop with an edge or "attitude pop" has catchy hooks with grooves ranging from power-pop to punk. This diverse collection of songs reflects Jean's unique take on life, relationships, and pop culture. Mazzei's quirky lyrics tempt the palate of anyone who has loved the wrong person and knew it... made up her mind, then changed it... wanted it all, but gave it away... Followers of Flying Venus call Jean's music catchy, empowering, meaty... Some may call it delusional... and others will say it's because "she's a g-g-g-g-girl..." Designed to make you think, dance, laugh and feel, Jean's songs are easy to approach yet continue to give upon repeated listening.
ABOUT JEAN MAZZEI - LEAD SINGER, SONGWRITER, INSTIGATOR
Jean Mazzei writes what she knows, and after many years of regular naval gazing, she discovered that, yes, the only thing there is lint. Her hooky melodies, sharp wit, and quirky lyrics relentlessly address themes like pop culture and growing older in her distinctive tongue-in-cheek manner. "I love how you tell it like it is! It's as if you were inside my head!" says Dani Marcus, San Francisco resident and fan.
Jean Mazzei and her band, Flying Venus, have appeared throughout the greater Bay Area,and at a few LA dives, sharing bills with Grammy winner Bonnie Hayes and the Super Bonbons in her "Girlz Who Rock" series, as well as Grammy nominated Carlos Guitarlos. A stickler when it comes to musical quality and programming, she often books the entire evening, showcasing high quality local bands
