the girl's in the ground now


So is this the end of the Sisters? Have the Caulfields gone off to that great musical-literary rye field in the sky? Is it possible that a band that hasn't performed in public for almost two years might not technically, you know, exist?

Interpret this as you will, but Cindy's gone off and formed yet another band, according to this alert passed on by Caulfield Sisters mega-fan madtempest:

From: Cindy
Date: Jun 10, 2007 11:21 PM

My new band, MOSTLY WATER will be playing this Thursday June 14th at Matchless in Greenpoint.
557 Manhattan Ave at Driggs.
10 pm
For those of you who know Sarah P from Beacon's her band BEZOAR will play @11pm. So come on out and get blasted some sweet ass rock.

The Sisters' MySpace page offers similar tidings as well, without offering any details on what this means for the rest of the Trinity:

Cindy W from The Caulfield Sisters new band MOSTLY WATER play it's first show. Please come and behold AMPLIFIED AUTOHARP WITH LOTS OF PEDALS...


As always with Cindy's bands, Mostly Water sounds extremely intriguing, especially since we all are, of course (mostly water, I mean). No idea if she's drawing any parallels with the radical activist Canadian news site of the same name, but maybe she can work out a sponsorship deal with them. Perhaps we'll see her performing at G8 summits and anti-globalization rallies while the tear gas rains down. And then maybe, as the accordion feedback wafts over the barricades and into the shuttered conference rooms of the world leaders, Bush and Putin and Sarkozy and the rest of them will look up from their scripted talking points and say in unison: "Hey! Why don't we cut out all this shit and just fucking give peace a chance?"

Or maybe the Caulfield Sisters could come back to us and stage a glorious resurrection. Which seems more likely?

Anyway, if you're in New York on Thursday night, you know what you gotta do.
